#Shellfish industry on a 'knife edge' as #sewage dumped in designated waters for 192,000 hours last year news.sky.com/story/shellfis… 🦪💩☠️

So journal publishers have huge profit margins, and also editors can't find reviewers and time to publication is getting longer and longer. I bet the first journal to pay a modest fee to reviewers, like $50, for a rapid response, would greatly shorten their time to publication

Great finish to #IPW2024 as we heard the story of how the #isleofman has combined good #fisheries management with nature #conservation . Proud to have played a small role & amazed by how far things have come since then 👏 #OceanOptimism #BeMoreScallop 🌊

Perhaps my favourite photo so far at #IPW2024 courtesy of Florian Breton at Tintuff Hatchery in France. This is a newly settled 2 mm #scallop spat. If you look closely, you see the eyes! Ready to #ScallopDisco from the word go! #BeMoreScallop

Now I know they say: 'The world is your oyster' - they dominate global mollusc production. But everyone knows that scallops are much cooler! #IPW2024 #BeMoreScallop

Another great step taken by BoatLife to promote sustainability within their brand new sea angling competition.

Thank you to Grant Jones for highlighting the work of #PollackFISP too.

Sobering talks at #IPW2024 this morning about the effects of ocean warming & #oceanacidification on #scallops The prognosis: 'Not good.' We are already seeing fishery collapses & the future will bring both direct & indirect negative effects #ClimateChange 🌊🔥

What do you do on a #scallop conference? Go to a scallop beach of course! #isleofman #BeMoreScallop #IPW2024 🇮🇲

Great to see this coverage of #IPW2024 by Isle of Man Government
'Isle of Man hosts global scallop conference' gov.im/news/2024/apr/… I for one am loving being among 120 fellow #scallop enthusiasts from 16 countries! #BeMoreScallop

Another fascinating morning of scallop talks at the International Pectinid Workshop. We've travelled through New Zealand to Norway, the USA, Mexico, Croatia & France. Challenges include overfishing, sedimentation, eutrophication, habitat loss & climate change! #IPW2024

It was a pleasure and an honour to give the keynote talk at the International Pectinid Workshop in the #isleofman this morning. It's a changing ocean out there & we're going to need to be innovative to ensure #sustainable #scallop fisheries into the future #IPW2024 #BeMoreScallop

It wouldn't be a #scallop conference without a #ScallopDisco Lots of enthusiasm for the scallop potting with lights discovery at #IPW2024

On my way back to my old stomping ground, the #IsleofMan , for the 23rd International Pectinid Workshop internationalpectinidworkshop.org Excited for the next 4 days of talking #scallops 🇮🇲 #BeMoreScallop 🇮🇲

British shellfish and seaweed farms could provide valuable habitats for coastal fish species, according to new research from MBA - Marine Biological Association & University of Exeter

Great to see best-practice shark handling being taken seriously by BoatLife as they incorporate it into their angling competition rules. With small changes, anglers can make a difference to shark welfare and post-release survival.
