How #DavidAttenborough's #film will get #bottomtrawling #banned
🧐"bottom #trawlers hv been working at #sea for more than a century, but nobody had ever seen tis scene before. No diver wld survive where te #cameras were.. It is a nightmare vision of #massdeath & #destruction..
The worst of it is tt while the #official #UN goal is to have 30% of the world’s #oceans in ‘maritime protected areas’ by 2030, most of those #MPAs still allow #bottom #trawling."

Earth's #oceans are under ongoing #ecocide threats. Human industry has contributed to increased ocean temperatures, killing of ecosystems & marine life.
We need healthy oceans for sustainable life on this planet.

"What stands out to me is that #MPAS forecasted this system to be a super typhoon even before the storm had formed," Judt said. "Earlier, in fact, than many operational models would have anticipated, and with better prediction of its intensity."

My dream since I did a hike on these mountains years ago while listening on #cb to stations in EA: Activating two #SOTA summits OE/NO-063 and 062 in a row.

Here a vertical ANT is quite ridiculous to take with, but I wanted to collect more experience with the #MPAS.

10/15m were hard to work, 2m went perfectly fine, even 2 S2S to OM!

Thanks to all who helped me get the 16 QSOs incl. 4 S2S through. That's not much compared to a 10hrs tour whereof I was 3hrs in the air. But I'm lucky I did it.

Heute ist die Entscheidung gefallen: Kurzwelle geht mit auf die nächste Tour nach SM. Mal sehen was mit 10 Watt geht. Ausrüstung: #Icom 705, mobile Stromversorgung, Chameleon #MPAS 2.0 Antenne und #Elecraft Tuner T1. #Hamradio

"Manta ray populations are thriving in Indonesia’s Raja Ampat archipelago, a new population assessment shows, highlighting the importance of marine protected areas to the species’ conservation.

The study showed that reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi) populations saw up to 10.7% compound annual increase from 2009-2019 in the region, even as global ray and shark populations undergo a sweeping decline."

The location & boundaries of #MPAs are being determined by #conservation priorities identified through intensive #consultation with #MarineScientists , #FirstNations #stewardship #leaders & other experts. Similar to the GBR, long-term funding will promote #responsible #EconomicDevelopment in the #GreatBearSea & support #sustainable fisheries, #ecotourism & community-led conservation projects to ensure effective #marine stewardship into the future.
