Ottawa announces $3.8-billion nature strategy, laying out path to protect 30% of lands and waters by 2030 via @jennthornhillverma.bsky.social

They drift 1000s of kms as larvae on 🌊 currents from the Sargasso Sea, landing on Canada's eastern shores as translucent, finger-length juvenile eels —elvers— worth more per kg than bluefin tuna or beluga caviar... www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... @pulitzercenter.org @theglobeandmail.com

As wild Atlantic salmon vanish from Canada’s rivers, wildlife filmmaker Nick Hawkins is raising salmon fry in his own home to document their life cycle and bring attention to the threatened species. 📖 Read here: https://bit.ly/4b2EFAW #WildlifeConservation #AtlanticSalmon #CanadianGeographic

Entanglement is one of the greatest threats to whales. Canada aims to protect them by requiring the use of special fishing gear. "We believe this is going to be part of a modern fishery going forward." ORN Fellow @jennthornhillverma.bsky.social reports for @theglobeandmail.com. bit.ly/4rvukDr

A gear-shift for 🇨🇦 fisheries toward areas where “ropeless” gear — which removes entangling lines for endangered North Atlantic right whales — is part of standard management. A win for fishers so they don’t lose weeks on the water when a whale is present — and a win for 🐋 too. @pulitzercenter.org

Last wk, we reported on the Arctic Report Card—that same day the White House budget director called the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Col. – a world-leading facility for climate science – a source of “climate alarmism” that would be “broken up.” Read more👇by Ivan Semeniuk

Tune in to your fav podcast spot to hear The Globe’s daily news podcast, The Decibel, for a literal deep dive — the ‘Entangled’ series on North Atlantic right whales, how they depend on vocalizations, and the sounds of underwater noise pollution. @pulitzercenter.org @theglobeandmail.com 🌊

The North Atlantic right whale, a critically endangered species, has seen a small bump in population. But experts warn that "we still need strong protective measures for continued growth." Story by ORN Fellow @jennthornhillverma.bsky.social for @theglobeandmail.com. bit.ly/47CXXe9

Good news today for one of the world’s most endangered whales—slow population growth for the fourth year. (And meet a couple more right whale mothers who are protagonists in this species’ race against extinction)! @pulitzercenter.org @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Humpback whales are a conservation success story. But as their numbers thrive, their search for food is increasingly pushing them into dangerous shipping lanes, creating a new risk. Story by Ocean Reporting Network Fellow @jennthornhillverma.bsky.social for @theguardian.com. bit.ly/42LFppj

The #codcollapse shuttered hundreds of fishing communities across Newfoundland and Labrador. But not Francois. Not Grey River. In communities without roads, accessible by ferry, residents rely on one another. A true ferry tale. 📸: Ethan Murphy for @theglobeandmail.com #underexposed

Rope-heavy fishing traps are a deadly hazard for whales and other endangered animals. But why haven't safer options caught on? Story by ORN Fellow @jennthornhillverma.bsky.social, Lauren Owens Lambert, and Nick Hawkins for @theglobeandmail.com. 👉 bit.ly/4pBqisv

Étonnant article de The Guardian, concernant la prolifération des baleines au large de New York, du fait du réchauffement climatique. La présence d'autant de cétacés dans une zone de navigation intense, dans le contexte politique des USA hostile à l'écologie, est un dilemme :

“What was once a marine highway connecting southern breeding grounds to northern feeding areas has, since 2010, become a regular foraging destination, putting #humpbacks on a collision course with maritime traffic.” Today in @theguardian.com Seascapes w/ 📸: Chris St Lawrence & Lauren Owens Lambert

In the Miramichi, Atlantic salmon populations are dropping precipitously. Salmon conservation groups say the culprit is clear: striped bass. But as I explored in this story for @theguardian.com, the picture is murky, especially in a changing climate www.theguardian.com/environment/...
