The fifth @speseas_tt Director is Ryan Mannette @revphoto_tt! Ryan is a marine scientist with over fifteen years of experience employing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in a diverse range of applications from utility management to enhancing the decision-making process regarding the sustainable use and management of our natural resources and coastal and ocean environments. From 2003 to 2016, Ryan was a key part of the team that planned and managed the NIHERST Caribbean Youth Science Forum. As a Forum Chaperone and Coordinator, he got the opportunity to interact with young scientists and act as a mentor. He is passionate about science, especially marine and environmental science, as well as working with students to prepare them for their future careers. Follow Ryan here or on Twitter @RyanMannette.
This month, we will be focusing on Trinidad and Tobago’s rays and skates - the flat fishes that are closely related to sharks!
Meet the fourth @speseas_tt Director, Dr. Diva Amon @diva_amon. Diva is a marine biologist focused on the little-known habitats and animals of the deep ocean, and how our actions are impacting them. Since gaining her PhD from the University of Southampton, UK, she has positioned herself at the nexus of science, policy and communication. She has a deep desire to see stewardship measures applied to the global ocean (especially the deep ocean!), as well as the engagement of a broader group of humankind towards this effort. Diva has participated in research cruises around the world and has an extensive science communication and outreach record, with her work featured on National Geographic, CNN International, BBC World, etc. She is a 2020 @insidenatgeo Emerging Explorer, a Pew-Bertarelli Ocean Ambassador, and a World Economic Forum @friendsofoceanaction. Find out more about Diva via her website https://divaamon.com/ and follow her on Twitter @DivaAmon too.
Happy Manatee Appreciation Day!
Today we’re introducing the third of @speseas_tt Directors, Dr. Farahnaz Solomon @farahnaz.solomon. Farahnaz is a marine ecologist specializing in fisheries. She has over 15 years of professional experience in marine resource management having worked for the Fisheries Division, the Buccoo Reef Trust and the Institute of Marine Affairs. Her expertise includes fish larval development and identification, fish age and growth and reproduction and population genetics. Farahnaz would like resource users to better understand the relationship between biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides as it is through this appreciation that positive changes can be made to sustainably manage our fisheries. Her present interests include invasive species management, elasmobranch biodiversity, the design and implementation of MPAs and Blue economy. She especially enjoys documenting TT rich ichthyofauna through her projects and from pictures shared by resource users. Farahnaz is an Erasmus Mundus scholar having attained a PhD in Marine Ecosystem Health and Conservation from the University of Algarve in Portugal and UPMC, France.

Mangroves and seagrass beds trap pollutants and sediment that could smother #CoralReefs and in return, coral reefs provide protection from waves and tidal influences to associated seagrass beds and #mangroves 🌊
