Judith Brett: “I don’t want to live in dread of a dystopian future, or consumed with anger at go-slow governments, or in a state of depressed apathy because of my powerlessness, so I go about my generally enjoyable life accompanied by the drone of doom in the pit of my stomach.”

Do opposites attract? What’s the kittiwake story?

25 red handfish have arrived at IMAS Taroona in a rescue effort to get them out of hot water this summer🌅Scientists raised the alarm due to a predicted #marineheatwave which, with high air temps, could be a serious threat to the species’ existence🤿 bit.ly/Handfish-rescu…

So much heat kicking about the mid/northeast Atlantic Ocean already, with large marine heatwave developing along W Africa and W Europe. Overall average temp in N Atlantic highest on record for this time of year. #marineheatwaves #MHWs

The State of the Global Climate report for 2023 is now out (wmo.int) which shows that the global ocean experienced an average daily MHW coverage of 32%, well above the previous record of 23% recorded in 2016. #marineheatwaves #MHWs

Our new study published today in Nature Communications examined links between marine heatwaves (MHWs) and the health of foundation species (corals, kelps, seagrass) across the global coastal ocean rdcu.be/dKHfN (1/n)

Researchers have found compelling evidence that intense summer marine heatwaves play a significant role in the decline of vital marine species like corals, kelps & seagrasses - and it can result in widespread ecosystem collapse & declines in biodiversity. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
