Calling all marine ecologists! If you study biodiversity, conservation or related topics, a second 'Marine Ecologists' starter pack is being organized here on Bluesky to connect researchers and practitioners. Reply here or to @drangelborja.bsky.social if interested—we need 6–7 people to get started!
I can organize a second group, but I need at least 6-7 people to start it. Hence, if more marine ecologists, not included in the first pack, want to be added, let me know and I will organize a second one!

Reflecting on a year of weather extremes—droughts, wildfires, and powerful cyclones—2024 became the first year on record to exceed 1.5ºC warming above pre-industrial levels. Bold climate action will be needed to prevent this from becoming the norm: www.bbc.com/news/article...
World's hottest year: 2024 first to pass 1.5C warming limit
Last year was the world's warmest on record, bringing temperatures above a politically symbolic milestone.
