Gran presencia del #IEO_CSIC en la conferencia anual de #ICESASC25 🧑🏽‍🔬 Más de 30 investigadores e investigadoras de todos los centros oceanográficos participan en esta conferencia científica promovida por @icesmarine.bsky.social desde 1902 🌊 🔗 tinyurl.com/3z67pb6n

El @ieo.es presenta en la conferencia del #ICESASC25 sus estudios sobre ecosistemas marinos, impacto humano y conservación. 👩‍🔬 Marta Ballesteros, del Centro Oceanográfico de Vigo, interviene en varias charlas sobre gestión y distribución pesquera.

#ICESASC25 was a game-changer! Stepping outside of my usual research into the world of #fisheries has been valuable. Understanding where #GreatCormorants fish is a priority to manage interactions with human activities. New connections and prospectives! @icesmarine.bsky.social

It was great to present about our @projectfishistory.bsky.social research at #ICESASC25 and an honour to be on the shortlist for the best presentation! What a great week! @sosbangor.bsky.social @icesmarine.bsky.social

🌟This year’s #ICESASC25 was a huge success! 👏 Thank you to all who participated, shared knowledge, and collaborated 📢 A shout out to the team of volunteers who powered ASC2025! 🐬 Let’s continue working together to share research and protect our oceans. 🎬 Watch highlights: https://bit.ly/46b7mJl

💙A huge thanks to our friends at Klaipeda University! From the smooth logistics to the warm welcome, your organizing team made #ICESASC25 not just possible but unforgettable. We’re grateful for the hard work, energy & hospitality you brought to every detail. Klaipeda you’ve been amazing 🌊🐟🎶

Congratulations to Sissel Kolls Bertelsen @dtu.dk Denmark, awarded Best Presentation at #ICESASC25 for her work Out with the Inputs and in with the Outputs that evaluated which technical measures could become redundant under Fully Documented Fisheries without compromising sustainability. Well done!

Congratulations to Abril Reynes Cardona, Ghent University, Belgium, awarded Best presentation at #ICESASC25 for her work on Offshore wind farm development alters food web structure and carbon flows; insights from 14-year data-driven study. Great work- well done!

How can we better link science with policy? 🌊 Representatives from EU DG MARE, HELCOM, EFARO, the Lithuanian Ministry of Agriculture, and ICES at the roundtable at #ForAndFromTheBaltic are discussing Baltic Sea’s governance challenges and opportunities. Join the livestream ➡️ bit.ly/3K9S0wb

🌊 What are the policy measures and governance action needed for Baltic recovery? The second panel of #ForAndFromTheBaltic reflect on current and emerging measures for the Baltic Sea to explore how policies can better translate science into coordinated, operational measures for a resilient Baltic.

“Science must anticipate changes at the sea and integrate climate, biodiversity, and socio-economic realities into advice for managers,” @merikallas.bsky.social @luke.fi and EFARO Vice-President on the evolving needs of Baltic Sea science and advice🌊 Tune in ➡️ bit.ly/3K9S0wb #ForAndFromTheBaltic

🌊 How can we help accelerate sustainable management of the Baltic Sea through scientific advances and insights? The first panel of #ForAndFromTheBaltic highlighted recent scientific advances, emphasising the importance of coastal areas, and the need to challenge our perceptions.

🌊 Right now in Klaipėda, For and from the Baltic is starting alongside #ICESASC25. The side event brings together scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders to explore how #EBFM can support a sustainable future for the Baltic. 📽️ Watch the live stream: https://bit.ly/3K9S0wb

Our final keynote of #ICESASC25 is about to kick off with Ute Daewel speaking on the impact of offshore wind farms on coastal ecosystems.

🐳 Reliving some network sessions from #ICESASC25 where discussions were flowing from sustainable offshore wind development, advancing gender equity in marine science, best practices for peer reviewing and hands on exercises and what makes marine science "good".

Great presentation by @lornamckellar.bsky.social from @sosbangor.bsky.social on how to distinguish between good and degraded state in marine ecosystems #icesasc25

Really enjoyed presenting my PhD work at #icesasc25 in Klaipeda, Lithuania - even at 9am the day after the conference dinner

☔Klaipėda has been showing us all its moods this week 🌬️ A bit of sun, a sudden downpour, and winds that make you hold on to your notes extra tight! Luckily, our trusty marquee has kept us dry, focused & ready for science. Proof that not even Baltic weather can dampen the energy of #ICESASC25!

☀️Good morning from sunny Klaipėda! It’s the last day of #ICESASC25. It’s been a fantastic week so far, but we’re not done yet! Today is filled with engaging sessions, a keynote, a closing ceremony, and our side event #ForAndFromTheBaltic takes place this afternoon 🌊 Enjoy Day 4 out there!

At the core of yesterday's #marineSABRES session at @icesmarine.bsky.social 2025 was the big Q -'How can we protect & maintain marine ecosystems so they continue to deliver societal goods & benefits sustainably?' Thanks to partners from @maremadeira.bsky.social @DTU @MaREI @Klaipeda Uni! #icesasc25

🏆 The red carpet for was rolled out yesterday for the TAF-cademy Awards 🏆 After a nerve-wracking voting process, award winners took home prizes on creative uses of our Transparent Assessment Framework. What's TAF and why is it worth celebrating? 📖 bit.ly/46NgCCL

The poster session at #ICESASC25 was buzzing! It was wonderful to see all the researchers sharing their latest work and curious attendees stopping by with questions and for a chat 📈🌍

#ICESASC2025 session Q on ecosystem services continues today, with a talk on the MARBEFES toolbox by Cristina Huertas-Olivares.

For anyone online or who missed the @icesmarine.bsky.social Expert Group poster session, feel free to come find me at #ICESASC2025 or message me with any questions 🙋‍♀️. I’m biased of course but after 16-years I can say the ICES Working Group on Elasmobranch Fishes is really a fantastic group 😉!

As Day 3 is flying along, let's rewind to #ICESASC25 Day 2 where network sessions kicked off, and ideas kept flowing at the theme sessions. 💬(Re)watch Llucia Mascorda Cabre's keynote on the Ropes to Reefs project and how to turn science into policy ➡️ https://bit.ly/4n8BLhC

A wonderful crew, indeed, among the best marine scientists who are shaping the future of ocean #research! ✨ Wish you all a fantastic (and fruitful) time!! #ICESASC25 @icesmarine.bsky.social

At #ICESASC25 (Sept 15–18, Klaipeda Univ, 🇱🇹), marine scientists meet to shape the future of ocean research. 🌊 Nadia Papadopoulou & Chris Smith (HCMR) present #SERE & #REDRESS, highlighting #marine #ecosystem #restoration and deep-sea innovation. @horizoneu.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu

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.
