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.

First year students from @bangoruniversity.bsky.social School of Ocean Sciences were gaining practical field work skills (and how to keep dry) at Aberffraw beach today.
People on a wet beach with the sea nearby. There is a grassy hill in the background, underneath an overcast sky.

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

Study after study, data proves again and again that bike infrastructure saves lives.
brenttoderian.bsky.social Brent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.social · 28d
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.

Ruth Clarke, a third year Marine Biology and Oceanography student at SOS, is currently doing a placement year with @seatrustwales.bsky.social in Pembrokeshire to gain wider skills in conservation related topics.

Trashfree trails staff standing at the edge of a wooded area with a sign explaing what TFT is about: reconnect people with nature through the simple yet meaningful act of removing single use pollution from wild places.

A great day for the annual SOS beach trip with the new undergraduate students @bangoruniversity.bsky.social. Sandcastles were built, beach pictionary played, and much fun had by students new and old, and staff.
A picture of sandy beach flanked by rocky outcrops on both sides. The sun is shining, the sky is blue with a few clouds, and the sea is calm.

As Welcome Week, in great weather (the sun always shines in north Wales!), is drawing to a close we thank the SOS peer guides for their efforts. They are the friendly faces behind Welcome Week and put a lot of work in to make the freshers (aka The Peerlings) feel at home.
