A network of associations among the terrorists involved in the 2004 Madrid train bombing, as reconstructed from press stories after-the-fact. Edge weights encode four levels of connection strength: friendships, ties to Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden, co-participants in wars, and co-participants in previous terrorist attacks.

Efforts to Save Kelp Forests from Ocean Warming Are Ramping Up
At one time, kelp forests — which shelter fish, slow erosion, and sequester carbon — grew along a third of the world’s coastlines. Now, scientists are working to bolster heat-stressed kelp by attacking the urchins that prey on them and transplanting hardier kelp varieties.

Decline in plankton across Northeast Atlantic sends stark warning for ocean health
Microscopic plankton are among the most important organisms on Earth. Phytoplankton produce around half of the oxygen we breathe, while plankton as a whole underpin marine food webs, support fisheries, help regulate carbon and sustain life across the ocean.

The biggest problem with this I imagine is storage for all of those... I assume osm doesn't need a load of storage since it doesn't have any photo upload features at all

For much of his career, Bruce Menge assumed he would conduct the same research until he died.
The marine biologist has studied sea stars since the 1970s, and the animals had always seemed more solid a bet than others in the ocean.
They have no natural enemies,
regenerate limbs when they lose them
and reproduce prolifically.

Then, just over a decade ago, a mysterious disease wiped out 90 percent of the West Coast’s sea star population.
Tide pools emptied…

A record die-off of sea stars was followed by something that stunned biologists
Sea stars almost went extinct along the West Coast a decade ago. Recently, they have been making a comeback.

It’s been over two years since I last submitted a #Wikimedia #Phabricator ticket, so I guess I should submit a new one for a weird bug on #WikimediaCommons involving structured data via

Climate change is driving a gray whale “catastrophic mortality event” in the Pacific Ocean
as melting sea ice depletes food sources and the animals starve, environmental groups warn.
Meanwhile, a range of other issues,
like ship strikes, oil spills, microplastic pollution, algal blooms and Russian harvesting
are also probably contributing to the die-off that has nearly halved the whales’ estimated population.
It fell from 20,000 in 2019 to fewer than 13,000 this …
