Assessment of trawling impacts on 10 Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem indicator taxa (e.g. cold-water corals) across New Zealand waters show that 30 years of trawling reduced VME area by 20.8 %, with losses up to 40.7 % in some bioregions.

Found some purple jellydisc (I think), with a nice reflection, in the woods this weekend. Also managed to fix the access track after a fallen alder destroyed some of it.

At least 135 Palestinian bodies mutilated by the Israeli army returned to Gaza.

Yet there is infinitely more outrage over racist Israeli football hooligans being barred from Birmingham's streets.

The world has been turned on its head.

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials

Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths

Has Israel stopped starving & murdering Palestinians? Have all the Palestinian hostages been released? Are the settlements being dismantled? Is the occupation over? Do Palestinians have the right to return to their homes? Do we have accountability &justice for Israels war crimes?

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

It was nice to see the progress of the participants during the @icesmarine.bsky.social training course on assessment of the seabed impacts of bottom trawling. Some participants even completed a first draft assessment for their own region using new data!

It would be great if we could take a whole country and change the default speed limit to 20mph and then compare it to one left at 30mph. What if it reduced casualties by 25% and with lower risk reduced insurance premiums by £45 a year? Well it did! bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

Started my travels to teach an @icesmarine.bsky.social training course on the bottom trawling risk assessment method that we have been applying in WGFBIT. Currently cruising through Belgium on the Eurostar, continuing tomorrow to Copenhagen after a night at my parents.
