“I’m in awe right now. Watching how slowly the sun rises up here, the moon still lighting up the sea and sky, and a powerful force of nature tossing us around underneath it all. Pinch me.” - Tina Tyler-Silverman

Endangered #rightwhales could wait almost a decade for new #US protections
New protections for endangered right #whales in #Atlantic postponed for nearly a decade under a plan that cleared a key hurdle in Washington with support of fishing and lobster industries.
Environmentalists say this could spell end for the vanishing whales, which can drown after getting tangled up in fishing gear or being struck by boats. There are only about 380 #NorthAtlantic right whales left.

European heatwave’s unlikely accomplice: an ocean ‘cold blob’

2026-06-17 23:51:55 M2.0 North Atlantic Ocean

Only M1.4 according to the BGS.

An interesting area - not somewhere I've explored before. Seems to be around the intersection of the Irish Shelf, Malin Shelf and Rockall Trough.

The #NorthAtlantic’s ‘cold blob’ may signal a major current’s decline
The #AtlanticMeridionalOverturningCirculation may be near a #tippingpoint, researchers say
Prevailing wisdom has been that the patch was getting colder because less heat was coming in via #ocean currents — specifically, #AMOC. This current brings heat from the tropics northward toward Europe, shaping temperature and precipitation in Europe, North Africa and beyond.

Mysterious 'cold blob' in the #Atlantic is a sign of the #GulfStream weakening — and that's bad news for the #USEastCoast

The Atlantic's enigmatic "cold blob" has once again been linked to a weakening of key ocean currents and a devastating climate tipping point.

Story by Patrick Pester, 6/10/2026

"A mysterious "cold blob" in the Atlantic Ocean is a sign that key ocean currents are weakening, a new study has found, with potentially devastating long-term impacts on our #climate and #weather.

The cold blob, or #NorthAtlantic #WarmingHole, is an area south of Greenland and Iceland where average sea surface temperatures have actually been going down. Researchers have been working to understand the blob for years, given that it bucks the global trend of Earth getting warmer.

"The new research, published May 28 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, supports previous interpretations that the blob's existence points to a weakening of ocean currents known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC). "

#ClimateChange #TippingPoint #GlobalWarming #AMOCCollapse

#AMOC collapse will have catastrophic consequences. Predictions are:

- Colder around #Polar #NorthAtlantic
- Hotter in #Africa, S. & C. #America
- #SeaLevelRise ~ 1m on the shores of the #Atlantic
- Loss of #vegetation & #arable_land, #drought & #famine in #Europe & Africa
- Collapse of #marine_life and #seafood
- Global #food_crisis
- Large parts of #Amazon rain #forests turn into #grasslands
- #CO2 rise in the #atmosphere due to loss of #carbon_sinks (#Phytoplanktons, Amazon)

[4/7]

#GlobalWarming has increased the fresh meltwater flow from the #polar_icesheets into the #NorthAtlantic, slowing the #AMOC down. Monitoring data has raised fears of its imminent cessation & collapse, possibly in a decade. This is the data we're losing. Recovery will take at least a millennium.

While it will cool down N. #Europe & E. #Canada, it will be a dry cold-#desert climate. The tropics and southern hemisphere will get even hotter and drier.

Burning #SeaShells to make #quicklime

Posted on November 10, 2018 by Per Storemyr

"Burning seashells to make quicklime once was a great tradition in the #NorthAtlantic region. In Millstone Park, Hyllestad (W-Norway), we have built two #limekilns, reviving old lime burning traditions, involving #craftspeople, volunteers and the public. Recently we burnt sea shells to make #LimePaint and #mortar! Read about the experiment in a new poster and web article."

Trump and Co don't even understand what the NA in NATO mean. We could have a 1000 baboons in charge and the result would be better.

#Endangered #NorthAtlantic #RightWhale Population Is Slowly Increasing, Scientists Say

#Biden Administration Withdraws Protections for #Endangered #Whales
Proposed rules would have slowed more #ships to prevent collisions with rare #NorthAtlantic #rightwhales
In Aug 2022, #NMFS proposed rules to lower the risk of #whale strikes by expanding existing slow zones and regulating more types of ships. But after bristling public debate over the rules and with just days left in President Biden’s term, the agency canned the suggested change.

Scientists add more #underwater #robots to monitor endangered #NorthAtlantic #rightwhales
In the race to protect the #endangered species, researchers are bringing in more underwater robots—unmanned vehicles known as gliders that slowly patrol the Gulf of St. Lawrence, passively listening for #whales.
Gliders can stay at sea for months, move far offshore and work in all types of weather. They’re equipped with underwater microphones that scientists use to track animals.

For much of his migration, #Bishop swam through waters where the lack of #SpeedLimits makes #vessel strikes more likely.

In 2022, the #Biden admin proposed expanding that area & applying speed limits to smaller #vessels….

The proposed expanded boundaries have been embraced by scientists & advocates, who say it could help save #NorthAtlantic #RightWhales from #extinction. But NOAA Fisheries, the agency behind the proposal, has yet to finalize the rule, which is still being reviewed by the WH.

That day, off the coast of New Smyrna Beach, FL, scientists tagged #Bishop w/a satellite transmitter. For the next 50 days, he broadcast his location as he migrated over 1k mi up the #EastCoast. It was one of the longest transmissions of a #NorthAtlantic #RightWhale ever recorded.

…Bishop averaged about 50 mi / day for the rest of his northward journey. By March, he had joined other right #whales to search for food south of Nantucket, MA. On March 11, his tag fell off, ending the transmisison.

#Misinformation spreads as more #Atlantic #whales show up dead. Scientists are worried.
Scientists say such confusion and misinformation can hurt evidence-based #conservation efforts. The “right” rabbit hole to save #NorthAtlantic #rightwhales, #MichaelMoore, a #veterinary scientist at #WHOI in Massachusetts said, would be the one that addresses #ship strikes and entanglement with #fishing gear.
