using our model, results of hundreds of simulations of #MPA networks covering 20-40% of a seascape with multiple species varying bio-economic parameters like the amount of habitat overlap across species. ~ same size #MPA can produce wildly different outcomes depending on state of the world #30x30 🦑🌎

You can check out the package at danovando.github.io/marlin/, and the paper here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... message me for a copy or if you have any questions. More research using the `marlin` model coming soon, and feel free to use it in your own studies! 🦑🌎

Trying out scicomm on bluesky! New paper out in Fish & Fisheries, "Simulating benefits, costs, and trade-offs of spatial management in marine social-ecological systems" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... from myself and a great team of scientists from NOAA Fisheries UCSB's emLab 🦑🌎

long-term data collection, statistical modeling, and subject matter expertise reveals marine heatwave as the main driver in the historic Bering Sea snow crab collapse. Impressive and important work by a great team! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Introducing myself to the community over here! I'm a quantitative fisheries scientist at the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission. I study stock assessment (data-limited mostly), social-ecological systems, spatial management and other fun stuff. Tutorials and posts over at www.weirdfishes.blog
