Come and join me and my colleagues at the Department of Biology, #LundUniversity in #sweden! We have am open position as Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Biodiversity. Apply here no later than February 11 2026: https://lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:848749/type:job/where:4/apply:1

This week REDUCE has met with EU leading Fishing Producer Organizations (FPO) of long line fisheries from Galicia operating in waters of the East Central Atlantic Ocean to explore collaborative work between science and fishing industry on #ETPBycatchReduction measures in this maritime area.

We´re resuming our Joint Webinars on Fisheries #bycatch with Dunja Jusufovski and Guðjón Sigurðsson presenting results of the trials of pingers in Icelandic bottom set gillnet fishery. With @cibbrina.bsky.social & @marinebeacon.bsky.social Open access on teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-joi...

It’s kick-off time for our Second Annual Meeting 2025! Over the next 3 days REDUCE partners will share progress so far on our collaborative work to minimise #ETP species #bycatch in ECAO fisheries, incl. trials with #fishers & workshops.

We´ve enjoyed a wonderful presentation by Lucy Arnaud about the development of an AI model for bycatch species recognition in industrial tropical tuna fisheries. This kind of tools emerge as technology that will eventually boost research and improve sustainability of fisheries.

The study was conducted within the framework of the REDUCE project, presenting a novel approach to addressing the bycatch of ETPs of various taxa (sea turtles, seabirds, cetaceans, sharks) interacting with commercial fishing fleets in ECAO. #@IIM_CSIC @ltaboadaantelo

Academics are always seen as a threat in authoritarian regimes. We're among the first to be attacked--along with journalists, librarians. We're independent sources of knowledge, we think critically, we are viewed as powerful because we teach. Know your value, know why you're a threat. Be bold. 🥰

The first day of the “Regional Workshop on BBNJ and High Seas Marine Protected Areas in West Africa" comes to an end. Looking forward to attending the next sessions of the workshop tomorrow 14 May. #MarineBiodiversity #HighSeas #OceanGovernance #MarineProtectedAreas #WestAfrica

Follow the @reduce-project.bsky.social for updates on this exciting horizon EU project! #bycatch #megafauna

Coordinated by the University of Barceloned REDUCED is formed by 13 partners from 5 different countries, from Europe and Africa. Our aim is to mitigate bycatch of endangered marine megafauna in the Eastern Central Atlantic Ocean (ECAO) by working cooperatively with relevant stakeholders in the area

The Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra is part of an international project to reduce the bycatch of marine megafauna. The "REDUCE" project received funding of around €9 million from the Horizon Europe programme.

A study published in Science, with the participation of the University of Coimbra, points to the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet 120,000 years ago.   👉 The scientific article is available at www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ade0664.
