'The Bahamas may no longer exist in the future.'

The Bahamas is on the frontline of the climate crisis where the oceans and animals that call it home are being badly impacted.

Corals are dying at an alarming rate and sea turtles are under threat.

@Noel_Phillips reports.

[Tom Hartley @DiploTom]

Really pleased to have visited @TheIslandSchool and seen this great project in partnership with the UK's National @PadstowLobster Hatchery🇬🇧 and @UniofExeter🇬🇧
It's a great partnership leveraging UK research & Bahamian expertise to increase lobster numbers in the Caribbean🦞

I'm mainly found in the other place now - see you there 🦋 The changes since X have seen interactions on this place tank -

@chris_harrod @sceneUofG Ah just saw your new role. I thoroughly enjoyed learning isotope analysis there. Would love to come back one day.

We’re all in the Biology family, but that is about right.

@ARichCulture @mzrjmorgan Ya’ll know we the onliest people that does this outside of diplomatic events. We had a Caribbean conference in Nassau last year and every body was looking at Bahamians like “what is this protocol?” Needless to say, “Protocol having been established” became the running joke.

[Nick D Higgs @BahaNick]

@JustABahamian Yeah this really is the wrong time. I mean…. https://t.co/7yBi5D37mO

[Hakai Magazine @hakaimagazine]

The bad news is out: Hakai Magazine is shutting down at the end of 2024. We’re incredibly sad, but our team is proud of the great work we’ve done these past 10 years. We have 5 more months of beautiful and unique coastal stories to come. More info here: https://t.co/iwp4DXTTEt

@kejames Oh didn’t realise there were professional ones… ok that makes sense.

[Nick D Higgs @BahaNick]

@kejames Ok, as a non US, I have Wikipedia’d fraternities and sororities and have vague grasp of what they are but why do some Americans put them on their CVs? Is there a guide for the uninitiated?

[Nick D Higgs @BahaNick]

You heard it here first! (HT @PetraJLarsen for reminder). Congratulations to Andrew and team on these results. Paper: https://t.co/u52Z38rM0s

[Nick D Higgs @BahaNick]

"That's a stunning result" (comment from audience) as Prof Andrew Sweetman presents evidence of unexpected oxygen generation in abyssal sediments. How is it happening? Unsolved mystery here at @150_challenger #Challenger150

[Nick D Higgs @BahaNick]

@mzrjmorgan @imnickintl Woah now that takes me back. Present from my class at SW All Age, when I went away to school.

Whoever's responsible for the Microsoft outage is getting fired anyway, so the smart thing to do would be knock Teams out for the day too and leave a hero.

[Dr. Vincent Raoult @sawsharkman]

Important study once again shows that electric shark deterrents can reduce shark bite probability by ~50%, this time for white, tiger and bull sharks, the three species most responsible for shark bites. They're the obvious way to reduce your bite risk!

The lack of comprehensive data on whale sharks in the Bahamas poses a significant concern, especially considering their importance for global tourism and the potential role of the Bahamas in their migratory routes.

Research is now suggesting that the melting of polar ice is changing how the earth spins & making the days longer.
