Sea Around Us data users interested in learning how to perform a catch reconstruction update now have access to a suite of free video tutorials.
The step-by-step guides, available in English with carefully curated subtitles in Spanish, French, and Chinese (with more languages on the way), are presented in an easy-to-understand animated video format led by a researcher named Ola.
The Sea Around Us initiative turned 25 years old in July 2024.
To mark this milestone, the team produced a large poster highlighting some of the research accomplishments that turned the project into a reputable voice when it comes to fisheries data, and fish population management and conservation.

The Sea Around Us project manager, Dr. Maria ‘Deng’ Palomares, and Advisory Board vice-chair, Athanasios Tsikliras, participated in the 2024 general assembly of the project Ecocentric Management for Sustainable Fisheries and Healthy Marine Ecosystems (EcoScope).
On July 1, 2024, the Sea Around Us initiative based at the University of British Columbia’s Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries will turn 25.
Still in its young adult years, the project’s accomplishments are no small feat.
For International Women’s Day 2024, we want our audience to get to know the women in the Sea Around Us in a context that goes beyond science and their professional selves.
