𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗻𝘀😎 Last year, the EU challenged the UK’s decision to close sandeel fishing in English and Scottish waters of the North Sea. Sandeels are small, but they’re a key food source for #Puffins, Kittiwakes, and many other seabirds.

🐧Happy World Penguin Day! These species offer more than just their charisma! Their study and protection benefit whole ecosystems 🌎 Did you know that...? 🧵👇 #WorldPenguinDay

After 2 years' development, today we have launched @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social new DataZone! For information on each of the world's 11,000 bird species, 13,000 important sites for their conservation and profiles for 250 countries/territories and 16 global flyways, see datazone.birdlife.org

Always a great read! 🧪 ☑️This issue includes an article on 20years of the @birdlifemarine.bsky.social Seabird Tracking Database, as well as updates from our @imma-network.bsky.social and @iucnshark.bsky.social friends

A good Friday afternoon read 📙 on how @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social Seabird Tracking Database has changed the face of marine conservation! MPAs, bycatch, policy and more 🕊️📈 #Seabird #SeabirdTracking

Excited to participate in the MoveBON strategy workshop (led by @smithsonianmag.bsky.social @wildlabs.bsky.social) Looking forward to sharing the work we do at @birdlifemarine.bsky.social with the #SeabirdTrackingDatabase to support knowledge brokering at the science-policy interface 🧪🐧

Great news for the Critically Endangered African Penguin! 🐧 South Africa has agreed to establish no-fishing zones around six major breeding colonies, a huge victory thanks to the relentless efforts of our National Partner @birdlifesa.bsky.social 🌍💙 Read more: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

For first post on @bsky.app seems fitting to share our blue sky and #marine flyways 🌊 paper out yesterday. A global collaboration of researchers led by @birdlifemarine.bsky.social sharing #tracking data to describe common #seabird #migration routes over the #ocean.

Tracking data from 48 long-distance pelagic #seabird species, shared by >100 collaborators, were analysed to reveal the consistent & repeatable #migratory routes, including a circumpolar navigation of the Southern Ocean & transhemispheric ‘figures of 8’ in the Pacific & Atlantic oceans 🧵2/5

🚨NEW OPEN ACCESS PAPER🚨details how we delineated six #MarineFlyways applying a novel approach onto #seabird #tracking data: doi.org/10.1111/geb.70004 🧪 See the short animation via: www.seabirdtracking.org/case-studies... explaining how the marine flyways can be a framework to support #conservation

NEW PAPER - we think we've discovered an open-ocean nursery for endangered shortfin #mako #sharks in the SE Pacific Ocean..... only trouble is, it's in a Global Fishing Hotspot - likely exacerbating popn declines already occurring @thembauk.bsky.social OA here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

20 yrs ago I started comparing the 3 lists of threatened birds BirdLife had published and working out overall trends. The Red List Index resulted from the ensuing collaboration & is now used by the world's governments & UN. Our new paper reviews the history royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Just published - led by @chriscvitanovic.bsky.social we conducted a systematic lit review to identify the top barriers and enablers for knowledge brokers at the interface of environmental science and policy (..and all the ‘invisible’ work they do) 🔍 doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

The latest Horizon Scan of conservation issues is now out in TREE doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... 🧪🐙🐧 including potential #marine issues. My 1st time contributing, and a fascinating process to be involved with!

🎂This week we celebrated 20 years of the Seabird Tracking Database (STDB) at @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social! seabirdtracking.org We had many activities with people attending online and in person. Here is a recap on everything that went on🧵:

🚨 Great news! Norway 🇳🇴 suspends #DeepSeaMining licensing plans in the Arctic for 2024-25, securing an important victory for the #DeepSea! Norway must solidify its commitment to ocean protection and support a moratorium on the destructive industry. www.wwf.no/nyheter/norw... #DefendTheDeep

Wisdom's still alive, she's back at her breeding grounds! This season she'll turn at least 74 years old. 🎉🎊💃

1/10 How have 20 years of tracking data shaped #marine #conservation? 🌍This article by @tammyedavies.bsky.social & colleagues explores the #BirdLife #Seabird Tracking Database’s journey from data collection to policy impact🐧 A must-read 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...
