A research initiative at UBC and UWA led by #DanielPauly, Deng Palomares & Dirk Zeller. We assess the impact of fisheries on marine ecosystems.
Fish follow their preferred temperatures. The Mean Temperature of the Catch tracks those shifts over time. 📊🌍 bit.ly/blog220sau
🌍 Part of the Sea Around Us team is in Corsica for the Symposium on the Challenges of Sustainable Fishing in Mediterranean Island Environments. As part of the program, participants explored the Bonifacio Straits Natural Reserve.
#Recherche #colloque intitulé « Enjeux pour la pêche durable en milieu insulaire méditerranéen » s'inscrit dans le projet de recherche TAATI hébergé par la FRES. Colloque co-organisé avec l’Office de l'Environnement. Ouvert à tous. Campus Grimaldi 👉infos fres.universita.corsica/plugins/actu...
As the Sea Around Us updates its catch data and stock assessments to 2022, a CMSY workshop was held in Kiel. Our researchers and external advisors reviewed the application of the methodology to some of the most commercially important fish populations bit.ly/cmsyvids
"Hope or Despair Revisited: Assessing Progress and New Challenges in Global Fisheries," by William Cheung, Rashid Sumaila, and Daniel Pauly, is among Fish and Fisheries' top-viewed articles! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
🎉 100 years of Sir David Attenborough 🌍💙 To celebrate the occasion, we’re looking back at Extinction: The Facts — featuring our PI, Dr. Daniel Pauly, alongside one of the world’s most iconic storytellers for nature. Ocean science and documentaries make a pretty iconic combo 👉 bit.ly/blog127sau
The Sea Around Us team and alumni had a great time at @ubcoceans.bsky.social's 10th Anniversary Symposium!
Last weekend, we celebrated the 80th birthday of our principal investigator, Dr. Daniel Pauly 🎉 A visionary in fisheries science, Dr. Pauly has transformed how the world understands marine ecosystems and the impact of fishing. 🌊 www.seaaroundus.org/daniel-pauly/
In Senegal 🇸🇳, fishing pressure and foreign fleets shape local food access. Data helps us see it. 📊 bit.ly/blog218sau
Data suggest fishing still occurs inside Los Roques’ protected waters. What does that mean for conservation? 🌊 ⬇️ bit.ly/wodsau20263
Fishing didn’t just increase—it spread into deeper and more distant waters. Learn more bit.ly/blog217sau
Water-breathing ectotherms support fisheries that feed millions worldwide 🌍🐠 Understanding their growth limits helps predict how they will respond to climate change. ⬇️ bit.ly/goltfcrr2026

In the heart of the Sulu Sea, Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park protects 700+ fish species, and nearly 90% of the Philippines coral species 🌊 Strong enforcement shows MPAs can work. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/wodsau20262
January 20th is Penguin Awareness Day. DYK that these flightless seabirds are being starved by industrial fisheries as they compete for the same prey sources? Learn more 📷 bit.ly/seabirdsau 📷 David Gremillet.
🎁💙 Santa visited the Sea Around Us! Presents ✨ Joy ✨ Lunch ✨ plus just the right amount of friendly competition. 😉
Part of the Sea Around Us team joined Dr. Philippe Cury's lecture "Looking for Patterns & Processes in the Ocean: an obstinate quest," in celebration of his honorary doctorate granted by the University of British Columbia. Explore his work 👉 bit.ly/obstinatenat...
Very proud of our MSc student, Anna Rossi, who successfully defended her thesis: "Integrating biodiversity, catch reconstruction, & ecosystem modelling to inform sustainable fisheries in Saint Pierre & Miquelon (France): a multi-scale approach." Learn more about her research 👇 bit.ly/blog214sau
On International Day of Climate Action, it's important to remember that fish remain smaller when the waters they live in become warmer and less oxygenated. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/danielpaulyt...
