New paper led by #Cefas uses #OneBenthic data to model UK distribution of the ocean quahog (Arctica islandica), producing a model suitable for national-scale conservation management. A case for acting now on the best evidence available. doi.org/10.1002/2688...

Using big ‘messy’ data to model species distributions for spatial conservation management

Achieving global biodiversity goals such as the 30 × 30 target hinges on effective spatial conservation management, underpinned by reliable species distribution models. Yet, these models often rely o...

Presented the benthic work from the OWEC POSEIDON project yesterday. At its heart: OneBenthic (Cefas) — turning siloed benthic data into open, shelf-scale maps of biodiversity, sensitivity & rarity to help guide offshore wind siting. 🔗 rconnect.cefas.co.uk/POSEIDON/

Great to see #Cefas’ work on the UK marine aggregate sector's Regional Seabed Monitoring Programme referenced in today’s UN report. The RSMP relies on #OneBenthic for delivery, enabling large-scale seabed monitoring and environmental assessment. wedocs.unep.org/items/b037d0... #MarineScience #Sand

Great couple of days in #TheNetherlands hearing about progress with the OR ELSE project (or-else.nl/en/) concerning #sustainable #MarineSandExtraction. Thanks to the organisers for giving me the platform to present a UK perspective on #ecology and the role #OneBenthic can have in decsion making.
