Check out today’s episode where I cover a review of 40 years of research on crown of thorns starfish populations and outbreaks. I also cover the early closure of the krill fishery in the Antarctic Peninsula www.youtube.com/live/fgXYfgm...

I launched a new comms product this week called Ocean Decoded Live. A live show, Monday to Thursday at 4pm EST, where I cover ocean science and conservation. Producing and hosting a live show has been a dream of mine for quite some time and thanks to @ecamm.bsky.social software, I am able to do it.

I just did an exercise within Claude to adapt my site to AI SEO and it mentioned having a “takeaway” section for each of your blog posts or entries as AI is there to help answer questions. For example, where can I buy a map of Nova Scotia from the 1950s. The AI answers pop up first

I’ve ordered calamari for most of my life and not once have I ever wondered or been told what species of squid I was eating. I just knew it was squid. I never questioned it once. Why does it matter? Well, the global squid fishery is not managed well. I should have asked a while ago…Damn!

If a politician: -Has never cared at all about whales before; -Is in the pocket of big oil, an industry which has a financial incentive to oppose alternative energy; and -is a well-documented liar, You don't have to take their "we have to stop offshore wind to save whales" claims seriously.
