The impact of the conflict in Gaza on the fishing sector is devastating.

Reviving the sector hinges on restoring peace and safe access to the sea.

Listen to what fishers have shared with @FAO 👇

#Climate #Christmas
Devastating scenes from #CaboDelgado #Mozambique where coastal and inland communities have been flattened by the final landfall of #CycloneChido
This on top of the existing stresses communities face there, this #disaster presents a bleak future for all. Please support the effort of @FAO @UNICEF @WFP
and all those working proactively on the ground to try and deliver desperately needed aid. #ClimateCrisis #Disaster #Environment #SDGs #fisheries #agriculture

The weather over Africa is very weird right now and it's affecting hurricane season.

Typically, African Easterly Waves, or hurricane seedlings, swirl from the Guinea Highlands in West Africa into the tropical Atlantic where they strengthen during late August and September.

This year, the wave train is displaced north of its average position and waves are instead rolling into... the Sahara Desert! 🌵

The map below illustrates where rainfall over the next 10 days is forecast to exceed the *record maximum monthly rainfall* in September, dating back to 1940.

It includes Algeria, Mali, Libya, and parts of Niger where little or no rainfall typically falls this time of the year!

The northward-displaced wave train is one of the factors influencing the current lack of tropical activity in the Atlantic.

This data quantifies just how unusual things currently are over Africa...

@forecastguy Gotcha thanks! Let’s see how #Beryl further develops!

@forecastguy Why is it not a factor? Genuine question ta

💡One size DOESN'T fit all when it come sto disaster risk reduction.
🌏Different populations in different regions experience and perceive risk differently – and this needs to be considered in DRR programming.

Yet more fossil fuel damage to people and ecosystems: "Trinidad and Tobago is considering declaring a national emergency over a huge oil spill from a ship that ran aground and overturned this week." https://t.co/zmJGdZ5dEq fossil fuel industry denies it's their oil.

#IFISH6 One fisher is killed globally every 5 minutes trying to bring fish to our tables….Fao is working against unsafe fisher working conditions and fighting against the normalization of fatalities on the job in the fishing sector @FAOfish

#IFISH6 attendees exploring the fishing safety exhibit. Spotlight also on the unsinkable boat model created by @FAOFish in collaboration with the support of #Norway to help Sri Lankan fishers face the challenges posed by harsh weather conditions due to #ClimateChange👇

After a successful first Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) Summit in 2022, we are thrilled to announce the #SSFSummit2024, a gathering of Small-Scale Fisheries Peoples and other SSF stakeholders shaping the future of sustainable small-scale fisheries.

Nothing like presenting on Disaster Risk Management in Fisgeries and Aquaculture when an actual earthquake happens! #St Vincent #Earthquake

First MPA for sperm whales in the Dominica as they shit twice as much there. As a result, nutrient-rich poop remains along the ocean surface and creates plankton blooms, which capture carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and drag it to the ocean floor when they die #ClimateAction

21 Species have been delisted from the Endangered Species Act due to extinction. “Federal protection came too late to reverse these species’ decline, and it’s a wake-up call on the importance of conserving imperiled species before it’s too late.” https://t.co/grvVjMyXrb
