The demand for squid is rising fast, but protections for them haven't kept up.

This month, countries can agree to sustainably manage the species in the South Pacific, the world's largest squid fishery. #SPRFMO https://t.co/TjKMxDapXG

@eat_dc @BarredinDC Andy's pizza at Atlas Bridge District closed after less than 6 months and was supposed to be part of a brew pub. Taste Lab still hasn't opened. Kitchen Savages is already closed. The Sandlot isn't food. And the Go Go Museum isn't open enough to really provide "food access."

@AlexKomaDC @trayonwhite Here's the bus stop (which services two 24 hour routes) next to city-owned 1234 Marion Barry Ave. SE. Fun times getting two small kids to school, and totally inaccessible to those with wheel chairs or strollers.

Nice way to handle the sidewalks by a 24 hour bus stop, @AnacostiaBID @DCDPW @311DCgov. Stop #100/426.

1.42 million metric tons of commercial tunas—heavier than 140 Eiffel Towers—are transshipped annually.

However, transshipments that are not adequately managed can open the door to illegal activity.

Global fisheries health has fallen largely due to overfishing.

This November, regional fisheries management organizations (RFMO) can adopt data-backed catch limits, set by harvest strategies, for five commercially and ecologically important fish.

What they can do. 🧵 👇

Hey, Call Your Mother! There are a lot of storefront vacancies here in Anacostia and we'd be HAPPY to have you on this side of town. @cym_deli
