Today, 17 January 2026, the BBNJ Agreement enters into force. 🎉👏 #BBNJ creates a long-awaited legal framework to protect marine biodiversity across nearly half of our planet, strengthening ocean governance, enabling marine protected areas, and safeguarding the high seas for future generations.

Exciting to see that intact marcofaunal communities have been successfully extracted from an #offshorewindfarm! Looking forward to following the new developments of this EcoWind project. 🌎🧪🦑 #marinedecology

Co-chairing my first conference session ‘Navigating tomorrow’s seas through integrative ecosystem service assessments and decision-support tools’ was an incredible opportunity to learn from scientists around the world working to find solutions to shared problems. 🌏🧪🦑 #11ESPConference #marineecology

It finally begins! Excited to be here in Darwin, Austrailia to attend the Ecosystem Services Partnership International Conference. I will be co-chairing a conference session as well as presenting. Stay tuned for updates🧪🌏🦑 #marineecology

Fascinating new study displays how long it takes for deep-sea species to re-establish an area of disturbance highlighting the decade long effects of deep-sea mining. However, certain more mobile species can repopulate the area at a faster rate. 🧪🌎🦑 #marineecology www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! It is important to share about the range of different jobs you can have in the scientific field 🧪 🦑 Check out some profiles of women making waves in the marine field: www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/content/prev... #marineecology #marinelife

Representation matters and these women show that marine-related fields offer vast opportunities for talent regardless of gender.

Had a great time meeting with my fellow CDTSuMMeR PhD cohort and seeing how our projects have progressed. It was exciting to hear how more colleagues can now see how functional trait analysis could be used in their own work. How do you think you could use a functional trait approach in your work? 🧪🦑

Great new #functionaltrait work highlighting the need to describe functions beyond the group level. Species can have very specific functions that are crucial to shaping the environment around them and understanding this relationship is key to protecting ecosystems moving forward. #MarineEcology 🦑🧪

As inspired by @profbenthos.bsky.social, I have received my Bluesky Roast. I don’t think anything could be more accurate than ‘a penchant for deep-sea drama and benthic banter’. Throughly impressed by its reading based on my limited activity so far : blueskyroast.com

I have been lucky to work in various scientific fields before embarking on my PhD. Worked as a benthic ecologist, identifying #deepsea creatures using imagery analysis. Led projects using #communityscience to identify the distributions of endangered bats in my home of Ontario, Canada. 🦇

Hello! My name is Bridget and I am a CDT SuMMeR PhD researcher based at @sosbangor.bsky.social. My project aims to use trait-based approaches to inform habitat mapping of ecosystem function, process and services in benthic communities. Looking forward to connecting with new groups on this platform!
