This is some of the most important environmental-economic research I have read in years. The $10 trillion benefits of overhauling our food system https://t.co/wLJidqwfql via @Verge

Seize the moment: researchers have a rare opportunity to make progress in protecting global biodiversity - 'You cant manage what you don't measure'. Its imperative to integrate biodiversity and environment into national accounts! https://t.co/pq1zTWEWeT

Partnerships to deliver on the sustainable use of #ocean & its species can enhance the crucial role of social & economic incentives from sustainable, legal & traceable use of biodiversity. @UNCTAD is @CITES #CoP19 to show how #BlueBioTrade achieves this:🔗https://t.co/duSS5cvrsQ

Happy Monday from me and this school of jacks! #cabopulmo

While sad I appreciate the attention this has brought to our declining fisheries. BUT it begs a bigger question, why are consumers obsessed with only a few types of fish? Diet diversity is essential! Billions gone: the disappearance of Alaska snow crabs? https://t.co/vAbwEeEGWJ

Sad reality, but another strong indication that sustainable #agriculture is foundational to life as small islands in a globalised world. #SIDS

#DYK that 40% of the population in higher-income #Caribbean nations is reported to be food insecure?

The #foodcrisis will affect individuals as well as the "longer-term growth prospects of countries within the region".

While at university my grandma would ask me, 'are you writing (to-do) lists?' which I only occasionally practiced. As I grow older, whenever I make these lists I find my mental, professional and relational health is significantly better. Giving thanks for generations past wisdom.

Can #trade & #sustainable use of #marine species go hand in hand?🧐

With an EEZ 79x larger than their land, find out how Vincentians can optimise their position as the biggest #QueenConch producer in the region thru #BlueBioTrade & @CITES compliance:🔗https://t.co/XC9Byqa5Ui
