Ecosystem model (Habitat 🌄)
An ecosystem model is an abstract, usually mathematical, representation of an ecological system, which is studied to better understand the real system. Using data gathered from the field, ecological relationships—such as the relation of sunlight and water availability to photosynthetic rate, or that between predator and p...

Our new paper in Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries 👇 reviews the scientific evidence for impacts of electrotrawling in marine waters. Our review finds that the EU ban on the use of electricity when catching #fish / pulsetrawl #fisheries is at odds with the Common Fisheries Policy objectives on improving the ecological and economic sustainability of #fishing practices.

Sediment Profile Imagery (Oceanography 🌊)
Sediment Profile Imagery is an underwater technique for photographing the interface between the seabed and the overlying water. The technique is used to measure or estimate biological, chemical, and physical processes occurring in the first few centimetres of sediment, pore water, and the important benthic boundary layer of water. Time-la...
Are you a natural scientist who seeks to collaborate with #fishers or other stakeholders? Or who works with social scientists in projects and has no idea what they're on about 😉? Then the ICES #training #socialscience #methods for

Our new paper is out in 'Frontiers in #marine #science'. Our Policy & Practice Review on co-creating #knowledge with #fishers reports the results of an online networking session with #fisheries stakeholders and scientists. Our discussion on (1) scientific needs that could be addressed with industry-collected data or knowledge; and (2) how science-industry collaboration be made sustainable led to a set of guidelines and best practices for #fisheriesscience.

Innovative fishing gears are developed to have less of an impact on target species, non-target species, and the environment. Efficiency and sustainability is the primary goal for gear innovations. The uptake of innovative fishing gears is not straightforward. Gear uptake is a social process and involves a deliberate change. Read more about this in the post below.

2 highly cited papers concluded mechanical cockle #fisheries impaired recruitment + that fisheries led to loss of red knots Dutch #Waddenzee & decline of European wintering population. These papers contributed to a political decision to ban the fishery.
A recent new publication 👇 shows severe shortcomings in these paper (data selection + analysis) & challenges conclusions.

How can #citizenscience support the #science process and #fisheriesmanagement? This question was the focus of the @EU_Commission annual #fisheriesscience seminar.
I was fortunate to be one of the invited panellists sharing experiences of research collaborations between #fishers and scientists.

Food for thought in a recent #fisheriesscience publication in the #ICES Journal of #marine #science:
Well-managed #bottomtrawling #fisheries produce #food with lower #environmental #impact than terrestrial #animal #protein (#chicken #pork #beef). If animal protein is to remain part of our #diet, a way to go for #sustainability is not to ban #trawling, but to build #fishery #management #capacity. 👇
Recent policy changes have major impact on Dutch #fisheries and are determining #fishers and their families' perceptions of the future. Only 4% skipper-owners think their business will still exist in 5 years' time.
