CITES currently discusses potential changes to the listings of eels (anguillids). We consider the uncertain impacts of those changes and conclude that a comprehensive assessment to evaluate the expected impacts relative to conservation targets and risk analyses are needed. doi.org/10.1017/S003...

“Many people tend to think that the extremists, the nutty MAGA people, are inherently incompetent; and that conversely, when you go up on the competence scale, you are likely to encounter fewer ideological extremists. Vought, however, is a fully competent, utterly committed radical ideologue.”

We are attending the Wild Salmon Connections conference this week at Fishmongers Hall in London. Although things may not look great for #salmon populations not all is lost as there is a great deal of work going into reversing that trend.
