Tuna fishing devices drift through a third of oceans, harming corals, coasts: Study
A recent study reveals that drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs), widely used in tuna fishing, have spread to more than a third of the world’s oceans.  These devices harm ocean life and coastal communities, but weak rules and lack of accountability make it hard to manage them properly, some conservationists say. The study, published in […]

Seaweed farming as an eco-friendly alternative for Tanzanian fishing communities
Climate change, overfishing and habitat loss have caused a sharp decline in fish stocks around Pemba Island, off the coast of Tanzania. To find a new income from the sea, women from Pemba are turning to sustainable seaweed farming, Mongabay’s video team reported in May. Seaweed farming was introduced to the island in 1989. It […]

Going out for some pond building parts but had to take a break at the cΓuumaʕas river (su-u-ma-as) to watch the fishers coming in from a morning of sockeye salmon fishing. 🎣
Lots of sounds of Bald Eagles in the distance. Probably in the trees across the river looking for a fish to snatch up.
check out the pro trailer parking with the offset stalls. 😂 🅿️

Industrialised fishing nations largely contribute to floating plastic pollution in the North Pacific subtropical gyre - Scientific Reports
The subtropical oceanic gyre in the North Pacific Ocean is currently covered with tens of thousands of tonnes of floating plastic debris, dispersed over millions of square kilometres. A large fraction is composed of fishing nets and ropes while the rest is mostly composed of hard plastic objects and fragments, sometimes carrying evidence on their origin. In 2019, an oceanographic mission conducted in the area, retrieved over 6000 hard plastic debris items > 5 cm. The debris was later sorte…

Top Ocean Experts Sound the Alarm Over Growing Marine Crisis Due To Climate Change https://insideclimatenews.org/news/04062025/one-ocean-science-congress…

Top Ocean Experts Sound the Alarm Over Growing Marine Crisis Due To Climate Change - Inside Climate News
On the opening day of a global science conference, French fishery scientist Clea Abello presented research showing that marine protected areas could protect commercially valuable fisheries.

A fisher had finished work early and was sitting next to her boat on the dock. A LinkedIn influencer walked by, clearly upset by seeing the woman displaying such laziness.

“Why aren’t you out fishing?”, he inquired forcefully.

The fisher responded: “Because I have caught enough fish for today. My family will eat and I can sell some for profit. Now I’m taking it easy and enjoying the afternoon sun.”

“Why don’t you catch more fish when you have time to spare?”, asked th…

I dunno. Maybe a bad angle but not hating this hair today. This is no shower or shaving. No encouragement, please, just ribbing on compliment-fishing. 😁

What’s rare about that cub is that it lives near a highway in BC, which isn’t exactly covered with roads.

Fishing for the Optimal Roman High Latitude Time Domain Survey: Cosmological Constraints for 1,000 Possible Surveys
The upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to conduct a generation-defining SN Ia cosmology measurement with its High Latitude Time Domain Survey (HLTDS). However, between optical elements, exposure times, cadences, and survey areas, there are many survey parameters to consider. This work was part of a Roman Project Infrastructure Team effort to help the Core Community Survey (CCS) Committee finalize the HLTDS recommendation to the Roman Observations Time Allocation Committee.

Good Morning #Canada
It's National Fishing Day, which means that with over two million lakes and rivers that flow into five major ocean drainage basins, Canadians will be pulling on hip waders and checking tackle boxes. There are 3.5M recreational anglers in Canada, plus another 700K (ish) tourists, driving a $1.75B dollar industry. The fishing capital of Canada is Kingston, Ontario... according to Kingston area "experts."

Brazil manatee hunters become advocates as village turns to ecotourism
The fishing community of Barra do Mamanguape on Brazil’s northeastern coast used to be a hunting site for manatees. But today, the villagers have turned to ecotourism and are now protecting the manatees, Mongabay’s video team reported in May. The village estuary, where river meets the sea, has warm, calm waters, perfect habitat for manatees. […]

Satellite tracking of 12,000 marine animals reveals ocean giants are in trouble
A massive global collaboration has tracked over 12,000 marine animals from whales to turtles to create one of the most detailed movement maps of ocean giants ever assembled. The project, MegaMove, highlights how animal migrations intersect with fishing, shipping, and pollution, revealing alarming gaps in current ocean protections. Even if 30% of the oceans were protected, most critical habitats would still be exposed to threats.
