🎉 +15 MILLION oysters will be released into the North Sea in one of the biggest rewilding projects in UK waters! This will re-establish a huge oyster bed around Orkney that experts say will help repair damaged marine habitats while sequestering carbon https://bit.ly/3Q9sw5d

That's neat. Filled up my $1000 NZD ($571 USD) electric car for $0.02 NZD ($0.01 USD). Did it with solar power even though it's a cloudy day. It's so cheap it honestly feels illegal. No wonder oil companies hate these things.

That Warhammer is a larger contributor to UK GDP than Fishing continues to blow my mind.

Au revoir coastal nuclear Models based on peer reviewed data - UK new #nuclear at #SizewellC will be almost entirely cut off by flood water at least once per year by the time it's built. And will only get worse.

Extraordinary triple rainbow before the Rugby today. Come on Albion!

“The idea that a civilization might destroy itself is both ludicrous and likely. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 We are pathetically inadequate at long-term planning, idiotically primitive in our destructive urges and pathologically incapable of simply getting along." - Brian Cox

The meaning of words is to be decided not by their use, usefulness, or history, but by their commercial benefit to the most powerful lobby groups. I have a recipe for almond milk in a cookbook from 1226. It has been used as a term in English for hundreds of years. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

@sunnymegan.bsky.social I read other posts saying booing has been muted/removed in US broadcasts 😞

Brexit has made it harder for fishing businesses to sell into their main market, Europe, with more delays and paperwork. If we are serious about backing coastal communities, getting closer to our European partners on trade is the most practical way to cut friction and restore stability.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨 "Half of the UK’s top 10 fish stocks are in peril; either critically low, overfished, or both" 🎣 Decades of ignoring the science have pushed cod and mackerel towards collapse. Our Policy & Research Director Alec lays it out here👇 greenbusinessjournal.co.uk/overfishing-...

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

This is some very welcome good conservation news! Huge congratulations to the @mantatrust.bsky.social team, reward for all your hard work and passion. Having all international trade banned will give real hope that manta and Devil ray populations may have a chance 👏👏

I really can’t fathom why COP30 didn’t deliver what was needed 🤔 (from @privateeyenews.bsky.social)

Dr Keiron Fraser, Associate Professor in Marine Conservation at @plymuni and Member of the Marine Biological Association, explains how decades of protection, reduced bycatch, and collaboration with coastal communities have helped green turtles move from endangered to a species of least concern.
