Spain’s marine protected areas (MPAs) are still being decimated by bottom trawling.
We took legal action last year but Spain has issued more fishing licenses for bottom trawling inside these MPAs since then.
So we’re going back to court with @oceanaeurope.bsky.social to protect these zones.

Hundreds of avocets, whimbrels, oystercatchers and redshanks too ... the avocets silvering the air in a swarm of flight.

I'm getting into the iNaturalist app. Which is helping me to slow down beside flowers and see what might be inside them.
This is a stevenia deceptoria ... a woodlouse fly. Currently THE sighting in East Anglia.

I'm enjoying having a traditional print paper on a Sheet bday again. This has the looks of good honest journalism.
A superb piece of journalism in The Observer: it seems like the one of the sacred texts of Nature Writing (TM) is not quite as much of an unflinchingly honest read as claimed

Speaking of f&%kery ... as of yesterday, the Gulf of Karankawa is just 0.02°C below the record high for the day, set just last year.
The lack of tropical development is allowing warm surface-waters to continue heating.
Will we see a new daily record tomorrow? Stay tuned!
