In our latest newsletter, you'll find insights on: . 🏝️ Sand dredging in marine protected areas .🛰️ Integration of ocean, land, & air sensors .🎣 Outsized impacts of small-scale fisheries in @Nature .🌊 Community reflections for #WorldOceanDay. Read ⤵️.

An English professor and our co-director have teamed up to explore the human relationship with the oceans – an often overlooked aspect of ocean studies. They envision an interdisciplinary curriculum that incorporates the humanities and the sciences.

.@oceansolutions works from insight to impact to ensure research informs how companies, coastal communities, & countries can take action for our oceans. Learn what inspires our faculty, staff, & early career scholars: 📷: Patrick Beaudouin

Terrific opportunity for fully funded scholars from @UniSouthPacific member countries to pursue research with U.S. universities in fields like marine science, food security, public health, and more. Details below. ⬇️.

Last month, thousands gathered for the One Ocean Science Congress & UN Ocean Conference (#UNOC3). Read takeaways from @oceansolutions @FiorenzaMicheli, @SSF_Nicole, & @LCAnderson2020, and other @stanforddoerr scholars. 🔗 .📷 IISD/ENB, Kiara Worth

Please give a warm welcome to Justin Rauh, our new Research Assistant!. In this role, Justin will focus on developing a machine learning model capable of improving the taxonomic resolution of environmental DNA analysis. Learn more about Justin ➡️

How can we bridge the gap between small-scale #fisheries and fair, sustainable markets?. @oceansolutions researcher Josheena Naggea contributed to a recent @abalobi_app thought piece that explores new models for delivering lasting, systemic change ➡️

What does "nature positive" mean for the ocean?. @oceansolutions researchers Josheena Naggea & @jb_jouffray joined nearly 100 contributors on a recent @WWF report that explores pathways for companies to contribute to climate stability & biodiversity.

If you're at @UNFCCC #SB62, join us for a side event on integrating aquatic foods into nationally determined contributions and national adaptation plans. 📅 June 21st.🕒 3-4:15pm CEST.📍 Kaminzimmer. View the full SB62 agenda:

Many thanks to our collaborators, and stay tuned for a full recap next week with more event reflections from Stanford attendees 🌊.

Co-director @FiorenzaMicheli joined @abalobi_app at an event on how co-designing data systems with small-scale fishers can transform fisheries governance. Here, Micheli poses with Claudia Miranda Saucedo and Anela Ancona Balam, scientific divers from Baja & the Yucatan. 🤿

Josheena Naggea, manager of our @BlueFoodFutures Program, shared strategies for advancing applied, transdisciplinary, and community-engaged research in a virtual event organized by @OceanDecadeECOP. 📸 A Herrera

Research Scholar @SSF_Nicole & Environmental Social Sciences Professor Xavier Basurto met with collaborators at the One Ocean Science Congress to share best practices for supporting small-scale fishers & their vital contributions to society. Learn more 🔗

Government representatives from the Aquatic Blue Food Coalition (🔗 met to discuss action opportunities & enhanced coordination for aquatic foods in climate solutions. They also welcomed Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia & Sierra Leone as new government members.

Co-director @jimleape moderated a panel on sustainable food from the ocean. “Blue foods play critical & multiple roles," he said. "The Agriculture Minister, the Health Minister, the Environment Minister, & the Prime Minister should all be paying attention to them.”. 📸 K. Worth

We’re reflecting on an inspiring two weeks of events, partner convenings, and activities at the 3rd UN Ocean Conference and associated One Ocean Science Congress #UNOC3 . Here are a few snapshots and sound bites from our time in France 🧵

#ICYMI Data on small-scale fisheries have been piecemeal. A systematic assessment of the sector yields insights into some of its most vital contributions to humanity. 🌊. More from @ssfnicole & global contributors to Illuminating Hidden Harvests ⤵️

"There’s huge potential in blue foods, but it really depends on how they are managed.". Our engagement project manager @LCAnderson2020 spoke with @courthousenews about the opportunities and challenges of blue foods at #UNOC3 last week. For more ⬇️.

Congratulations to our co-director @FiorenzaMicheli who won an award for her outstanding leadership at.@Stanford's recent Faculty Women's Forum!. "Fio exemplifies visionary and inclusive leadership in all dimensions of her work.". View all awards ➡️

Calling all early-career ocean professionals!. Tune in tomorrow for a virtual #UNOC3 side event featuring our @BlueFoodFutures Program Manager, Josheena Naggea, and other professionals working on ocean solutions. 📅 June 12.🕗 8 am PT . RSVP:
