Caught between joy at the high quality scientific investigation and sadness at the benthic devastation that's unfolded over on the North American Atlantic coast. Sometimes I wish ecological theory was just theory. #trophiccascade #regimeshift www.biographic.com/unmasking-th...

Unmasking the Sea Star Killer
After a decade of carnage, we finally know what’s devastating sea stars along North America’s West Coast. Does that mean scientists can save them?

About 5 years in the making: (there really is) limited evidence on the impacts of #windfarms on #fisheries species. Wind is a solution to the climate crisis, but we also need food security. These are tough, complex choices and we need evidence to support them. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14672979...
Image shows the amount of evidence available on windfarm impacts on fisheries for different types of species. The amount of evidence is represented by lines, with thicker lines meaning more evidence. Most of the lines are thin, signalling little available evidence; the most evidence was found for demersal and reef-associated roundfish.
