Have you already read our paper on the hot topic of deep-sea mining, please do so - it is in the top 5% of all research outputs scored by Altmetric.

There are benefits to projects like pipelines, but long term negative costs are usually left to the larger society to deal with, said @drrashidsumaila.bsky.social. "I think there's usually a disconnect between those who gain and those who bear the cost." www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

🌍 #BlackHistoryMonth - The Tyler Prize celebrates Black pioneers in environmental science! 🌱 Warren M. Washington – Climate modeling 🌊 Daniel Pauly – Revolutionized fisheries 🐟 Rashid Sumaila – Sustainable oceans Let’s celebrate their achievements and amplify diverse voices! 💚

Warren Washington - he advised six US presidents on climate change, from Reagan to Obama. He was only the second African American to earn a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences, and was recognized with the Tyler Prize in 2019.

Daniel Pauly built the world's first public online database of fish and marine species, giving everyone in the world access to cutting edge fisheries data. You can see his work at @seaaroundus.org @seaaroundus-io.bsky.social

Rashid Sumaila changed how we manage shared resources. He showed that when countries cooperate to manage fish stocks sustainably, everybody wins! He went on to pioneer research on the economic and ecological benefits of banning harmful fishing subsidies. @ubcoceans.bsky.social
