Shall we dissect how completely absurd the claims in this tweet are? It's a lesson in how scientific work can provide a thin veneer of plausibility, which is then packaged with more absurd claims in a classic motte-and-bailey. This tweet has half a million views!

Norway has a $1.5 trillion sovereign wealth (i.e. oil) fund, the world's largest. It also likes to position itself as a green nation. This last week, it has a) voted to allow deep-sea mining; b) licensed sea-bed dumping of 170m tonnes of mining waste. 🇳🇴💚 theguardian.com/world/2024/jan…

Happy New Year! We're starting the year off with a project kick-off 🥳 #NorTrack - funded by Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) - will track the movements & distributions of species in the Northeast Atlantic to transform biodiversity monitoring in the North 🐟🤓 europeantrackingnetwork.org/en/news-nortra…

Contrary to announcment of @bmz and KfW Bankengruppe the construction to divert water from the Vjosa Wild River National Park is ongoing full speed. Payed by Germany, build by Austrian STRABAG

Man må sige, at DM Akademikerbladet tager Berlingske med bukserne nede her. Bladet spørger rent faktisk ind til, hvordan BCG er nået frem til sin afsindige fantasi om, at AI kan spare 15-20% af den offentlige sektors drift væk. Svaret: 'Vi har meget travlt pt' dm.dk/akademikerblad…

DAVID VS GOLIATH EXISTS IN MANY FORMS. Here is something we in European Tracking Network have worked on in a long time, to ensure openness, compatibility and credibility. If you work with acoustic telemetry and are IN DOUBT about your studies, don’t hesitate to REACH OUT.

New paper alert⚠️ - on the European eel spatial distribution in the Madeira and Porto Santo islands. One of the findings was that the species is mainly concentrated along the coast, where the human pressure is higher. Read more of their results here: 👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aq…

This morning, EAA and 27 other orgs delivered an open letter to Ursula von der Leyen EU Commission urging the Commission to launch a nature-based EU Water Resilience Initiative before the 🇪🇺 elections!

We call on decision makers to listen to the people who have never forgotten the Mekong's fishes and who are facing the immediate effects of their decline + to take measures to keep rivers free-flowing, tackle unsustainable sand mining, destructive fishing practices, pollution,...

few days ago, we tagged 100 trout smolts with acoustic 🔊 tags for my PhD. Because very little is known about their migration directly to the sea (in systems without fjord), we aim at understanding the threats they face during that phase 🌡️🐟🦅🦭🦦

Det er krysteragtigt af SF, K, V og S i Aarhus at ville dumpe 400.000 ton kviksølvforurenet havneslam fra udvidelsen af Aarhus Havn ud for Sjællands Odde, fordi de får røvfuld af de aarhusianske vælgere, hvis de dumper det i Aarhusbugten. Drop havneudvidelsen i stedet. #dkpol

Thrilled to share my first PhD paper! 🎓Our study reveals striking differences in fjord migration between Atlantic salmon and brown trout. Curious to learn more? 🐟🔍Dive deeper here: doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15… #telemetry #salmonids #migration Kim Birnie-Gauvin, Ph.D Kim Aarestrup

And so far the twaite #shad tagging with #OP tags is running smoothly 🥳🐟! Currently 30 shads in two days! 85 more to go 🙃

DYK the Danish Straits have been listening for acoustically-tagged fish 🐟 since 2018!? All 3 straits detect movements of fish between the Baltic and North Seas as part of our #STRAITSproject. Salmon, trout, eel & more have so far been detected! 🙌🦈🐟 stay tuned for more 🤩

On #WorldTunaDay, we celebrate the deployment of our Gibraltar Array, which is tracking the movement of 🐟, including tuna, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean 🌊. The Strait of Gibraltar array will provide us with unprecedented data on tuna ecology! 🙌

Yay👍

We need to stop the ongoing construction, we need more people at the Una. From Croatia and other countries. Rivers unite. That‘s why I will go there tomorrow. Join if you can.

The Una known as “The One” because of its unique beauty, is governed by national and international nature protection regulations. But it is not safe. A local investor has started construction of a dam at the Una Spring in Croatia. In addition to the immediate threats this poses,
