Assessment of trawling impacts on 10 Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem indicator taxa (e.g. cold-water corals) across New Zealand waters show that 30 years of trawling reduced VME area by 20.8 %, with losses up to 40.7 % in some bioregions.

In the thousands of locations sampled in this meta-analysis, the mean MP densities were high enough to expect fundamental biological processes, such as growth and reproduction, of marine fauna to be significantly negatively impacted.

• Typhoons can exacerbate plastics inputs from land to sea.
• Mangroves can trap these plastics and delay the release of plastics to the sea.
• Recovery of trapped plastics in mangroves can prevent eventual release to the sea.

At least 135 Palestinian bodies mutilated by the Israeli army returned to Gaza.

Yet there is infinitely more outrage over racist Israeli football hooligans being barred from Birmingham's streets.

The world has been turned on its head.
At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials
Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths

Has Israel stopped starving & murdering Palestinians? Have all the Palestinian hostages been released? Are the settlements being dismantled? Is the occupation over? Do Palestinians have the right to return to their homes? Do we have accountability &justice for Israels war crimes?

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA
Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.
