While I wish ASCs were 100% social science 😜, one of my favourite things about them is stepping out of my comfort zone. I was truly fascinated to learn more about marine sand and its extraction. Annelies de Backer brilliantly told us how sand extraction disturbs food web dynamics. #ICESASC25

A few more…

Photographs of #FishingCommunities always speak to my heart. These are from Lithuania’s Curonian Spit. One of the highlights of #ICESASC25 getting to view these at the conference dinner. 🇱🇹🐟

Riga Airport has a place where you can sit by the sea and I’m here for it. #Bluemind 🇱🇻💙

Finishing a week of fish with anchovies. Safe travels #ICESASC25 friends.

Did I find the social sciences department?

Spotted at #ICESASC25! A mention of behavioural interventions! A community discussing behavioural sciences, evaluation, co-design, and systems approaches IS a social science community. 👊 #MarSocSci

Can you spot Reviewer 2? Peer review training is rare, so we had a great networking session aimed at improving our peer review skills at this morning’s #ICESASC25.

Respect for stakeholders is a real feature of science talks at #ICESASC25 in a way I don’t think it was even a few years ago. You love to see it. Hopefully this shift will result in better participatory fisheries science for all. #PFS #MarSocSci

If you are keen to join the @icesmarine.bsky.social Working Group on Social Dimensions (WGSOCIAL) just let me know. #ICESASC25

#OceanLiteracy results for migratory species in Macronesia at #ICESASC25. Stakeholders recognise the need to protect these species. #MarSocSci

Is the @icesmarine.bsky.social community now part of the #WeDoImpact community? Very promising to see talks from the Evaluation profession today at #ICESASC25. If you are keen to discuss the future of Evaluation within ICES, let me know! #MarSocSci #ImpactEvaluation #BetterRegulation

Network analysis, coupled with qualitative research findings can show which disturbances are most impacting the seafood sector. Super social science from Etienne Quillet. And always lovely to see a Boulogne-sur-Mer case study! #ICESASC25 #MarSocSci

Marine biodiversity is thriving beneath offshore mussel farms in the UK. Eating locally grown mussels is not just part of our #FoodSecurity but is environmentally beneficial. Great keynote from Llucia Mascorda-Cabre at #ICESASC25.

In #ICESASC25 opening @ec.europa.eu commissioner Costas Kadis stressed importance of science-based management for sustainable seas & emphasised this includes social sciences. Want to know more abt human dimensions in @icesmarine.bsky.social? Find me at the conference or 🔽 www.ices.dk/community/gr...

1 day until Theme session D at #ICESASC25 @icesmarine.bsky.social exploring ‘Fish tagging - the good, the bad and the unknown’ but if you can’t wait until then join us in person for the ‘WKTAG - where now?’ meet up @3:30pm (back of the marquee) with @piasch.bsky.social and Hans Jakob Olesen

I suspect there is going to be an electric #ICESASC25 discussion shortly on how we take steps to integrate indigenous and local knowledge in marine science. Come join Session I now! Great presentations so far.

Congratulations @hbrowman.bsky.social - winner of the @icesmarine.bsky.social Outstanding Achievement Award! #ICESASC25

There’s more to marine management than good data, but good management is almost impossible without good data.

Extremely happy to announce that @iiasa.ac.at will host the first author meeting of the @ipbes.net Spatial Planning and Connectivity assessment. iiasa.ac.at/news/sep-202...

Join us today & Wedn in #ICESASC25 session R, where you can experience the breadth of @icesmarine.bsky.social science: from marine biodiversity & benthic ecology to fish biology & stock assessment to human dimensions - we have it all covered! @johnkpinnegar.bsky.social @laurauusitalo.bsky.social
