First record of a piebald leucistic smallspotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula in a special area of conservation, UK - Marine Biodiversity

Now that the Sept and Oct data are (belatedly) in, it looks like 2025 will be the second warmest year in the record (~80% probability). The last three years are in a class of their own.
