PlyMSEF also promotes marine science through public lectures and seminars in 精品无码国产自产 and an annual 精品无码国产自产 research student conference. The conference gives an opportunity for PhD students from across the city to meet and present their work to their peers and academics.

Kizzy Beaumont: I attended the 2024 UN Ocean Decade Conference in Barcelona, Spain to present my PhD research in both a poster session and in the conference鈥檚 parallel sessions. My research poster presented work on the development of a transformative ocean governance (TOG) framework, which is part of wider research to gather empirical data to support discussions and actions on transformative ocean governance. The research I presented orally was part of a funded piece of work commissioned by 精品无码国产自产 City Council to highlight the current gaps in datasets that could be used to evaluate the interaction between the declaration of the 精品无码国产自产 Sound National Marine Park with the intended (and potential) ecological, economic and social outcomes. The conference was a great opportunity for me to network and build on my presentation and discussion skills. I have come away with many learning points to both support the development of my professional skills but also build into my PhD research.

Amelia Newman: The World Seagrass Conference and International Seagrass Biology Workshop (ISBW) 2024 in Naples, Italy was attended by 491 delegates from 48 countries, the largest gathering of seagrass specialists to date. Attending the conference widened my horizons far greater than I thought possible. The opportunity to present a full length talk on large-scale seagrass (Zostera marina) restoration undertaken at the Ocean Conservation Trust to around 200 delegates was a privilege and a huge highlight, and sparked conversations with other similar funded restoration projects from across Europe, such as the LIFE SeagrassRIAwild project in Portugal. Discussions around restoration advantages and setbacks experienced by other projects have inspired my next steps into a PhD with Imperial College London. The ISBW conference has given me an extremely positive base for ideas and inspiration as I move into improving restoration methods through research.

Sherilyn Abarra: The Asian-Pacific Aquaculture Conference 2024 held in Surabaya, Indonesia had a fantastic turnout with over 5,000 participants from 26 countries. I took full advantage of the diverse and comprehensive programme that fostered meaningful exchange of ideas in various areas of aquaculture science. The networking events and trade show allowed me to build new connections for my career trajectory. I presented our current research on bacterial feed additives for carp growth and mucosal health. This is my first oral presentation as a PhD student in an international platform and I am immensely grateful for this experience. Presenting at this conference further honed my communication skills while receiving insightful feedback from fellow researchers.

Sahya Maulu: The AQUA 2024 conference, co-organised by the World and European Aquaculture Societies, took place in Copenhagen with 3,684 attendees from 101 countries and featured a scientific conference, trade exhibition and workshops. I delivered my first international oral presentation, which provided opportunities for sharing my research findings, networking and collaboration. Key themes included reducing aquaculture鈥檚 reliance on marine ingredients and promoting sustainability in aquatic food production. I also attended an R programming workshop and made valuable connections, including with an insect production company relevant to my research on alternative feedstuffs in aquafeed. I am very grateful to PlymSEF for the financial support!

Matthew Faith: I attended the Marine Socio-Ecological System Symposium (MSEAS) in Yokohama, Japan, my first international scientific conference. This was a valuable experience where I had the opportunity to network with leading scientists from my field and gain a better understanding of current research themes and priorities. I have made lots of valuable connections from MSEAS and look forward to working with some of the attendees in the future. I was also pleased to be awarded with the outstanding oral presentation award. I am very grateful to PlyMSEF for the opportunity.

Charlotte Woodhouse: I attended the SETAC Europe 34th Annual Meeting in Seville, Spain, where I was able to present my PhD research to a scientific audience for the first time. I also attended a range of talks focusing on tyre particles, ecotoxicology, behavioural toxicology and policy. This experience greatly enhanced my knowledge in these areas and allowed me to explore developing my own research ideas. The conference also offered a range of group meetings, some of which were dedicated to students, and were extremely beneficial for networking and future career prospects.
