How to tap the collective brainpower of a lecture theatre at the #MARE2025 conference? Use #LiberatingStructures 1-2-4-all. We collected >50 ideas for the social science needed for the next half of the UN Ocean Decade. Great closing session together with @marloeskraan.bsky.social #MarSocSci

"Marine Social Scientists we need you: how to craft social science advice so it makes a difference to policy?" - Engaging #MARE2025 session with Early Career Scientists, together w @marloeskraan.bsky.social @icesmarine.bsky.social and @ec.europa.eu DGMARE and STECF. The future of #MarSocSci rocks!!

Diverse and provocative day at #MARE2025 with keynotes on MSP2.0 and on why #MarSocSci should study big corporations active in the seafood market, and sessions on using AI in social sciences and on why small-scale is not always beautiful. And of course the traditional dinner in the Dominicus Church!

Great first day of #MARE2025. The keynote by Sarah Coulthard about Challenges and opportunities in the visibility of UK inshore and small-scale #fisheries (and associated benefits), ressonated throughout many sessions during the day - even those not explicitly on fisheries. #MarSocSci

And we have lift off! The #MARE2025 conference in Amsterdam is now now live. We have 44 participants from 51 countries. Organised by @marecentre.bsky.social this biennal #MarSocSci conference always feels like a family gathering.
