The official vote is in from W Pacific Fishery Council. Every single Pacific National Monument will be opened to commercial fishing.

Longlines in Papahānaumokuākea. All fishing gear in Rose Atoll. The entire Marianas Trench reserve gone.

~80% of US protected waters abolished.

@O4fukssakeChris @NoNonsenseND @ApingSpring @CAMHSNetwork This is called a "radar" chart (in Microsoft Excel anyway). The lowest values are in the centre and the highest on the circumference. This isn't a good example because it assigns no value to "perception" (0.5?), the colour is irrelevant, and labels should be on vertices eg:

A Warning from History.

A year after WW1 ended, A French Pilot, Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, flew an Airship from the Belgian coast to the devastated battlefields of France where millions died.

Lost for decades this is part of what he saw remastered in color and HD.

The Pacific Community (SPC) in New Caledonia is advertising for a Principal Fisheries Scientist (Coastal & Nearshore).
Your office will be 80 metres from this beach, and your extended workplace will be the insular western and central tropical Pacific.

But scientists around the region are beginning to find a way. SPC CFAP wants to discuss drawing together a network of interested practitioners and stakeholders to work on the Pacific SIDS small-scale coastal/reef fisheries science-policy interface, at https://t.co/Q8nvzoImcX

The 2025 Pacific Community (SPC) Fisheries Meeting was in Hobart this month. Coming through strongly was the desire by Pacific Islands for SPC to find and put more resources into science needed for effective management of small-scale coastal fisheries https://t.co/2wvvcxFCrn

[Tim Adams @timonroad]

SPC has a fine reputation for world-class oceanic tuna fisheries science, but the super-diverse small-scale fisheries around the coasts of the islands are a critical food and income source for rural people, and involve up to 1,000 species (https://t.co/FKr2JK9bT0) Not simple.

@fakehistoryhunt First plane I was ever allowed on. Didn't get a cup of tea though. Just a bollocking for using too much rudder.

[Tim Adams @timonroad]

Just been comparing this season with entire #LUFC history since 1919. Today, with one game left to go:
4 more goals will =most goals ever scored
22 equals the highest number of wins
97 is most points ever scored, even if 3 points per win applied to matches pre-1993
#farke rules

@matkertesz Bin there dun that. The next step is to swap out the lasagne and use roti. And the NEXT step is to roll it all up and sell it on the street at Leeds Utd home games. It's a slippery slope.

@MichaelFieldNZ But are they Fijian or Tongan sharks?

I just discovered that Twitter itself has already deleted most of my history. It only goes back to early 2020 now.

Probably just as well

Looking back through my Twitter feed before I delete the whole thing.
