Small pelagic fish make up more than 30% of the global fisheries catch. A new collection in @cjfas.bsky.social explores their role in food webs, ecosystems, and sustainable management. Submit your research ▶️ buff.ly/01yih9h

Nature research paper: Herring spawned poleward following fishery-induced collective memory loss

Herring spawned poleward following fishery-induced collective memory loss - Nature
A critically low abundance of older herring due to age-selective fisheries resulted in an approximately 800-km poleward shift in main spawning.

For the sustainability of the Balearic Islands, go for a #6dayairport !!!. Only by reducing the total human pressure we'll make a noticeable difference.

I can only think of one effective solution for the excess tourism in Mallorca. Close the airstrip one day in the week (and all nights). Full stop. And then, wait and see. Any politician brave enough out there?

The Trump admin aims to zero out funding for NOAA’s 16 cooperative institutes, which study everything from extreme weather to fisheries to toxic algae. I spent last week talking with folks about the losses — & potential threats — to society if these institutes close. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...
Trump cuts would cripple NOAA’s wide-ranging science partnerships
The agency's cooperative institutes study everything from salmon stocks to tropical cyclones.
