'When I first became involved in advocating for eastern #tarakihi in 2019, #Fisheries New Zealand’s own #science estimated the eastern stock had fallen to around 16% of its unfished #biomass—well below the 20% soft limit and nowhere near the #Harvest Strategy Standard target of 40%.
'Six years later, we’re paying substantially more at the checkout, yet the eastern stock remains well under a rebuilding-plan target.
'Recent projections suggest it is still hovering around the lower management thresholds, with recovery far from assured under current catch settings.
'That should concern every New Zealander.
We’ve somehow normalised the idea that a fish can become increasingly expensive while remaining chronically depleted. Consumers are paying more, commercial operators continue #fishing, and we’re repeatedly told the #fishery is being managed “#sustainably”.'If this is what #sustainability looks like, perhaps we need to rethink what the word means.
'A truly #sustainable fishery shouldn’t require decades of rebuilding while the stock remains well below the level our own management system says it should achieve. It shouldn’t leave us debating whether 10–20% of the original spawning biomass is acceptable, and it most certainly shouldn’t have us celebrating modest improvements while remaining nowhere near the target.'
.....
'Perhaps the real question isn’t why the price has risen, it’s whether we’ve convinced ourselves that #depletion has become an acceptable definition of sustainability.

#Biomass is organic matter derived from plants and animals—such as wood, agricultural crops, and waste—that can be burned directly for heat or converted into #Renewable #Biofuels and #Biogas.

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) is a massive #ocean_current in the #AtlanticOcean, driven by #temperature and #salinity changes (#thermohaline circulation). It influences global #weather significantly:
- Warms up #Arctic, East #Canada, #BritishIsles & #Nordic region
- Cools down #GulfofMexico, #Amazon & #Africa
- Drives #rains in all these regions
- Supports a huge #plankton #biomass, that:
- Supports higher #marine_life
- Acts as #CO2 #carbon_sink.[2/7]

@heiseonline Der massive Rückgang der #Kohleverstromung in UK liegt leider an der Umstellung auf "#Biomass" - ich habe das Gefühl, dass #Waldrodung, Pelletproduktion, dann Pelletmühle im Kraftwerk dem Klima mehr schadet, als den Wald stehen zu lassen und Kohle zu verheizen. #Pellets und anderes #Holz können eine Lösung für Kleinfeuerungen oder dezentrale BHKW sein, die Umstellung von Großkraftwerken macht mir Gänsehaut. #energiewende
