It was a great experience working and enjoying the beautiful Palau with you my friends!! Thanks🤩 @agoremix @rmetalpa @houlbrequefanny Ravasi's Lab James Davis Reimer Carlo Cattano ICONA

We just completed our Mediterranean and Black Seas workshop, with 85 candidate ISRAs and 20 areas of interest identified. Thanks to @ISeaOrg for their help hosting us in Greece!

Sharks & rays are heavily #overfished in the Mediterranean but they play key roles for ocean's health & #climatechange mitigation. Govts should implement the recently adopted measures to better manage fisheries & trade in these species bit.ly/3JU3WiA #SharkAwarenessDay

Great to see our work of the last few months on a map! I am glad to have contributed to the identification and designation of the ISRAs in the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

New paper out from Joshua Heitzman . Following the previous paper on the first described #coral disease in warm temperate, White Mat Syndrome, he now shows the role of #algal interactions in spreading the #disease. Great job! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thanks to GOA-ON and OARS Ocean Decade, to the speakers Shigeki Wada, @cattancarlo , Ayaka Umeda and Layla Iijima . Thanks to the live audience for joining. Finally thanks to ICONA. Just the start of the #OAWeek, still many talks on OA research to come!

New preprint: Cyanobacteria isolated from marine volcanic seeps display rapid sinking and robust, high density growth. Thanks to U Palermo and Two Frontiers Project, we got unique samples from Vulcano, Italy, where CO2 bubbles into the shallow ocean, 24-7! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

There's a new op ed out today about the Important Shark and Ray Areas project and the work we do. Please read and share! buff.ly/3TZSbNp

Glad to share this joint effort with such a nice group of friends and colleagues!

New Research on "Access and Well-Being in Small-Scale Fisheries" in Marine Policy: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jZ3K,714Mun… We surveyed small-scale fishers in 8 countries to understand their access & well-being Antonio Di Franco @anton_calo Giulia Prato Marco Milazzo (MecLab) P.

A University of Palermo project has successfully rallied fishers to reduce endangered shark and ray bycatch and secure greater protection for the rare summer gathering of mating and birthing eagle rays.🦈 Find out more about this important work 👇 Marco Milazzo (MecLab) UniPa IUCN

That is an additional reason to protect these amazing ecosystems! Proud of this paper!

🚨New Paper Alert🚨Protected areas (PAs) are key to conservation, but we still lack a clear picture of how zoning really works. Our new study highlights gaps and offers a practical blueprint for monitoring PAs' effectiveness! 🐟🐾🌱 One Earth visit: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S25…
