What are cumulative effects? These occur when multiple environmental pressures impact marine ecosystems simultaneously, leading to greater overall harm. Understanding these effects is crucial for effective marine conservation and management. 🌍🐟 #GES4SEAS #CumulativeEffects

In the GES4SEAS HEU project we made a video explaining this concept of cumulative pressures. We hope it makes it more clear to you!

Hey Mastodon! Time for my #Introduction:

I'm a wildlife biologist living in #Whitehorse #Yukon. My focus is on monitoring, managing, and assessing the #CumulativeEffects of disturbance - particularly on #Caribou #GrizzlyBears & #moose. I live in, work on, and explore incredibly beautiful landscapes every day.

I love hiking, cross-country skiing and being outside summer or winter! I'm passionate about gardening, science, cooking, and dogs! Oh and I'm a #LivingLiverDonor.
