Nerd fact (I’m a marine biologist after all), when luciferin and luciferase (gotta love the biblical names) join together, they react with the oxygen in the air to make an oxidised complex. After that, luciferin emits a photon, and that is what you see when it breaks

Images are worth 1000 words. This is “literally” living with sea level rise at your doorsteps. If it was king high tide my feet will in the water… at least here in Kosrae they can retreat to the hillsides… atolls don’t have that option.

AoNZ's only general strike was in 1979, when Muldoon (National Party) wasPM, it involved aroud 300000 people. The fact that it took 46 years for the next one tells me how patient new zealenders are with their goverments (both main parties), and how piss off they really are with the present.

While speaking at Forums is fun and you learn a lot, it is at joint trainings with industry, like today here at the Federated States of Micronesia Fisheries Authority, where the real work is done. A joint training on ePSM and VMS with the PICs Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) is a good example of this

Back in 2023, I received a truly heart-warming message from Ho-Tu Chiang, a young and bright former Taiwan coastguard member Woking on his postgradin IUU fishing. He told me that my work motivated him to start his own path in fisheries sustainability by working to improve industry compliance.
