Journalist & @Mongabay contributing writer, I follow inspiring conservation stories & recovery outlooks that move toward positive rather than away from negative

Mark O'Connell: You would have to be borderline insane - or American - to feel nostalgic for 1970s Ireland https://t.co/xMnPr2rHBE
Haha - nice catch, Mark.

@MeghnaWBUR - Imagine the flight delay had already made the guy in the plane miss his flight. In his head he's thinking how insignificant his needs are to this big system. Then he hears you, who can still catch her plane, excusing your way towards him...

@OnPointRadio I guess the question to look at is how are State Owned Enterprises working out for Russians? That's more likely the model we're going for.

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

@OnPointRadio Facts are only a tiny fraction of history. The study of history is about perspectives. That you can have multiple perspectives is what drives some folks crazy. These folks would rather have a dictated narrative than be told "there's no 1 answer."

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

Dear @AldiUSA it's crazy that 5 ounces of Simply Nature Organic greens have to come in a #plastic box. Plastic for nature? Please fix this sad sourcing.

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

@OnPointRadio The problem is that moderate strategists like Kate think middle but speak coastal. That's why they also eat their own.

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

@OnPointRadio Well Kate encapsulates how the DNC continues to double down on a losing strategy. The problem is messaging, not clinging to the middle.

Since @nytimes is focusing on North Atlantic Right Whale this week, I'll say my piece @SierraClub goes into more detail about some of the snags and offers ways to take action. #whale - #NARW

Just topping up your daily dose of #rhino 🦏

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

That @nytimes got the North Atlantic right #whale story out there is why I subscribe to them. Also fairly comprehensive, some context, no dancing bears – is it too much to ask?

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

My story on Maine #lobster issue sets some context around the politics of lobster fishing and gag of @NOAAFisheries https://t.co/1I0OXISHGK mentioned in today's @nytimes piece I Tweeted on the plight of right whales.

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

North Atlantic Right Whale: Having spent last week at the #NARW conference, I see @nytimes was there as well. Glad they mentioned Maine lobstermen and NOAA gag. Problems less covered: "volunteer" low boat speeds, recreational boats/sport fishers https://t.co/As1i6apCdv

#Debate2024 Simple #KamalaHarris answer for connecting her to policies of Biden's presidency: "I'm as different from Biden as Pence was from you."

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

Check out my latest article: Dear #Kamala , Sparkle Forward. How the convention has answered all the silent letters from "out here." https://t.co/gl8wCE6DL6 via @LinkedIn

Check out my response to a @WIRED or @WIREDScience piece by @_CliveThompson "Solving #plastic with a Persistent Long View: Reflections on a non- gotcha Wired article" https://t.co/Ft5ps55UDh via @LinkedIn

Fortunately, there's $$ going into cleanup efforts in the case of orphan wells. It helps that they often emit noxious gases that concern local citizens. https://t.co/fwTzgRLws8 On the other hand, active leaks are a more international story. #methane

[International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) @MethaneData]

Methane is the low-hanging fruit for climate action.

🟢 New EU methane regulations will help scale the use of credible data to #CutMethane across the oil & gas sector.

➡️ IMEO's open, reliable & actionable data is helping unlock mitigation.

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

Is there any hope for the North Atlantic right #Whale ? @SierraClub Even after the tragic whale deaths this year, the animal may be adapting itself into a better place for survival. Just a snapshot in a crazy rollercoaster ride against time: https://t.co/AfJwBlGrBy

[Bat Conservation International @BatConIntl]

💡 Our next Bat Chat is coming up and you don't want to be left in the dark. Dr. Amanda Adams will be chatting about the impacts of light pollution as it pertains to bat conservation. Tune in live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch.

[Marianne Messina @RecoveryWatch]

Go @MethaneData ! Also go @MethaneSAT - I'd love to see a citizen task force watching that data. Spot the methane leak.

Something is pumping out large amounts of oxygen at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, at depths where a total lack of sunlight makes photosynthesis impossible https://t.co/89l1iYzS5s
