I can't tell you how nice it is to be able to report on a good news story. And this one is right at the heart of what we are exploring in Seascape's ongoing Against the Tide series. Congrats to all at Pie Factory Music! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

One thing we have learnt as part of Seascape’s year long Against the tide series is that, in places of coastal deprivation, opportunities for young people on their doorstep make a huge difference to their well being. So what message does this send? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How much do we really know about Greenland sharks? (The answer in my case was nothing at all, so I found this piece fascinating). @leylandcecco.bsky.social dug into some new research that questions a few of the things scientists thought they knew... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thanks to all the young people (and one older person) that shared their stories here - and thanks to Guardian Community for setting up this call out www.theguardian.com/environment/...
