The conservation movement needs to make space - in the center - for Indigenous knowledge and expertise when it comes to land and ocean management and restoration. https://t.co/EHcWv3HfJL

BREAKING: @Citibank headquarters in downtown Manhattan are *totally shut down* by activists this morning.

Every entrance is blocked + there are hundreds of bankers standing outside b/c their bank is funding deadly oil, gas, coal + refuses to #EndFossilFuels. #ClimateShutdown

This op-ed from @ALFAfishak and @FishAlliance spells out why the guidelines for fisheries policy @NOAAFisheries need to change and do more to support community-scale fishermen: https://t.co/Mq2Tub1Nta

The standards in question are about how fishing rights are allocated, how fishing communities should be considered with regard to policymaking, and how bycatch should be managed. You can submit comments here: https://t.co/BC72GPN1Cd

We have a chance to push @NOAAfisheries toward more equitable and responsive policy that will work for community-scale fisheries:

@NOAAFisheries is accepting public comments on their proposed revisions to guidelines for implementing the standards that our fisheries policy are based on. Due 9/12. We're all fisheries stakeholder bc the ocean is a public commons!

In the blog post we linked to above, there are resources for anyone interested in submitting a comment. They don't have to be fancy or extensive! But the more they hear from community-scale fisheries advocates, the better!

Very excited about this work and investments to support our grasslands and buffalo. Funding supports Native herd development and buffalo herd manager apprenticeship program.

A reminder that Exxon knew about climate change as early as 1977 and still decided to pollute the planet. But thanks for the update. https://t.co/P3qzHzeHvT

Blue Harvest Fisheries is shutting down. What's going to happen to all those boats and permits?

Private equity goes fishing; fails.

To some, the billionaire-backed venture was set to be the savior of the fish industry. To others, it was a boogeyman, squeezing out locals, lining the pockets of foreign investors and bleeding its fishermen dry.

“If we kept the seafood landed in the U.S., we would not have to import so much or develop aquaculture,” says Natsoulas. “Aquaculture is just contributing to the commodification of food.” @CivilEats @DontCageOcean

One year after the Inflation Reduction Act became law, over 170,600 clean energy jobs have been announced. The cost of wind and solar has decreased by 54% and 37%, lower than coal, oil, & methane gas. And climate solutions are becoming a reality. https://t.co/Vn4qKavwBi

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

In the year since the Inflation Reduction Act passed:

-Inflation has dropped from 9% to 3.2%

-170,000+ clean energy jobs have been announced

-Economic growth has accelerated

-Consumer spending is solid

-Real wages have finally risen

Bidenomics is working.

Our partners @ALFAfishak are part of this effort and it's cool to see how the ripple effects of ecosystem-focused conservation can play out. I bet the birds think it's cool too.

It's heartbreaking to see the continued loss of life & wildfire damage in Hawaiʻi & we're sending our support to all those impacted. It's more important now than ever to push for protections that make our ecosystems more resilient against climate change. https://t.co/NxgfWs5hgn

"The economic toll from a single occurrence on fisheries and coastal economies can be as hefty as $3.1 billion."
