An interesting article about noise pollution in the marine environment, highlighting its negative impact on marine animals and calling to for it to be included in assessments of cumulative pressures on marine ecosystems
New research provides more evidence on the benefit of no-take zones. Research on the California spiny lobster fishery reveals that a 35% reduction in fishing area was compensated by a 225% increase in total catch after 6 years

The elegant blue shark is another of my highlights of British Seas. Sadly for these beautiful predators we catch 100,000s of them each year in Europe and they are the world’s most fished shark. It’s a great privilege to see them. #NationalMarineWeek with @WildlifeTrusts
