Last month, fishermen and scientists from @VIMS_News and our Science Center began a new bottom trawl survey gear standardization study to see if using a restrictor rope impacts catch: bit.ly/3P01dVp. #NEFSCScience #NEFSCSurveys #OffshoreWind

For this last day of BHM here is some marine science history for ya. This is Rear Admiral Evelyn Fields. She was the first black person to join the noaa corp, the first woman to command a noaa ship, and the first woman to command the noaa fleet.

Great piece from @Havforskningen on our project on impacts of offshore wind and fish larvae! This is key research to understand how wind turbines affect dispersing fish larvae. @EMarineBoard @HBrowman @durifcaroline hi.no/en/hi/news/2022/februa…
Could fish larvae be disturbed by offshore wind farms?

Could fish larvae be disturbed by offshore wind farms?

A unique project at IMR aims to shed light on the impact of offshore wind farms on the vulnerable early life stages of fish.

A world-wide study on the impacts of #bottomtrawling published in PNAS found that #seabeds are in good health where trawl fisheries are #sustainably #managed. First study of its kind. The results are critical in understanding the steps required to improve fisheries management.
