My new paper in PLOS ONE, modeling how humans are impacting marine spp & ecosystems through climate change & activities incl fishing, shipping, nutrient pollution (doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone…). It even got some press (newsweek.com/marine-species-…)! #OpenScience @nceas @OceanHealthIndx

Ten years of the Ocean Health Index! I am so happy to work with such an amazing team of scientists. Check out the new website: oceanhealthindex.org/news/20…
We're excited to announce the 2021 global Ocean Health Index scores. This is our 10th year of assessing the #sustainable use of ocean resources. Check out our beautiful new website at oceanhealthindex.org/news/20…. #oceanhealth #datascience #rstats #openscience

Invisible lines marked on maps are hindering current efforts to conserve the world’s marine species such as sea turtles, according to #UQresearch. @UQscience @leslieamlwch @CarissaJoyKlein @cyclonewatson Read more: tinyurl.com/yjzvbqgp
Love Thy Neighbour (or at least Collaborate With Thy Neighbour) key for ocean conservation More than 90% of mapped marine species live in or travel across multiple political jurisdictions. New article @GlobalChangeBio doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15844 @UQ_CBCS @UniMelb @NCEAS @TheWCS

Our new paper in @Science: At-risk marine spp face human impacts across 57% of their ranges, those impacts are expanding & intensifying. @UNBiodiversity #Post2020 framework #30by30 can help! Analysis & figs 100% #rstats @rstudio. @nceas @brenucsb science.sciencemag.org/conte…

Our new paper in @Science identifies areas of high/low & increasing human impact on 1271 at-risk marine species, to inform protection targets & goals for @UNBiodiversity #Post2020 framework #30by30 science.sciencemag.org/conte…

We mapped global dist. of extinction risk of marine biodiversity - for 83% of the ocean, >25% of assessed marine spp are threatened: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Fishing removes old fish from the sea, and that could spell trouble for fish populations. hakaimagazine.com/article-sh… Me for @hakaimagazine

We could easily replace "marine biologist" with climate scientist or really nearly anything at this point! h/t @markrstoll cc @JaneLubchenco

"Offshore Aquaculture": you keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means. @DocFroehlich is here to help with that teapawt.org/DocFroehlich/status/86…
