"So there's an another, maybe better way to tell the story, one in which immigrants are not only vital to our economy but enrich and renew our society. "

Wrote a thing: ...at the heart of it is another Trumpian Big Lie, that immigrants are a burden and menace. We need to fight the false story with a true one: this country needs its immigrants and they are a blessing and an enrichment of what this country is and in many ways its heart and soul.
Immigrants: A Love Letter
It has never been easy to be an immigrant to the United States – for most economic, linguistic, and cultural barriers make life here a struggle, even if they were escaping a worse life elsewhere. The ...

The American Fisheries Society stands strong in our support of the federal fisheries professionals who serve as the stewards of our aquatic natural resources. Read our new statement on the Future of Public Trust Resources: fisheries.org/2025/02/futu...
Scenic photo of a river and mountains, with text: The American Fisheries Society stands strong in its support for the federal workforce. Federal fisheries professionals serve as the stewards of America’s natural resources. But the current termination of federal employees threatens the very foundation of fisheries and aquatic resources stewardship in this country. This stewardship is at risk, and with it the public trust resources citizens have enjoyed for generations. The continued layoffs and other attempts to reduce the workforce will erode the knowledge, skills and experience needed to manage our natural resources. This will have long-term devastating impacts on everyone who relies on public lands and waters for their livelihoods and well-being, as well as devastating an essential professional workforce for years, perhaps decades. The value this workforce brings to conservation, science, and stewarding our public trust resources cannot be overstated—all of which benefits every U.S. citizen. Read our entire statement: fisheries.org.

Just returned from issesr7.ifop.cl in Puerto Varas, Chile with @fisheriesprof.bsky.social & others. New insights on aquaculture-assisted fisheries, new birds on my list, new connections, rekindling old ones, and curanto, the traditional sea/land-food dish of Isla de Chiloe. ¡Fantástico!
