#PEEC2018 @sgorgopa : Citizen science data is often believed to be less accurate and reliable than data gathered by highly trained experts. This perception limits how widely used this data is by policy makers.

#PEEC2018 @FishingForFeed : Trawling gear has high bycatch, including threatened species. It can also damage the habitat. Often not counted in official fisheries statistics.

#PEEC2018 @FishingForFeed : Trawl net fisheries have the highest discards of any fishing gear in the Pacific- up to 8 million tons a year of accidentally-caught, dumped overboard fish.

#PEEC2018 Clinton/Walker: limpets in a site exposed to waves may be smaller to avoid drag from waves, and also there’s less time to eat and get energy to grow if you have to hold tight to the rocks.
