. @wclnews.bsky.social says the findings are likely an underestimate, as so few vessels record data.
They didn't include non-UK vessels fishing in UK waters in their estimates.
I've said this before. Attacking civilian #water systems is a war crime under 1977 Geneva Convention Protocols & prohibited by the Berlin Rules & other international law.
I discuss this in my new book:
When the Well is Dry: How Water Fuels Violence and Shapes Peace.

At last! A coherent plan for dealing with the perversity of fossil gas largely setting electricity prices, even though it supplies only 1/4 of our power.
Stepping into the market like this offends the government's deepest instincts. But it needs to happen.

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”
France is baking. 12C above normal in many places. Climate change is here and is only getting started.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Unconfirmed news reports that the new US attacks in Iran included bombing two #water reservoirs that provide drinking water to more than 20,000 residents in the city of Kouhestak and 10 surrounding villages.

Last week I met Alastair Campbell & Rory Stewart of The Rest Is Politics and we talked energy costs and renewables in public and in private.
Glad to see my keynote feature in the latest episode (Alastair was in the audience) - it comes up around the 17-min mark.

“The government mustn’t let these terrible losses continue. To protect marine wildlife, Ministers must finally deliver strong bycatch action plans, backed by strict mandatory monitoring and enforcement, before more wildlife is pushed closer to extinction" says @richardbenwell.bsky.social
An incredible amount of wildlife is being senselessly killed as "collateral damage" by fishing vessels every year according to analysis by @wclnews.bsky.social
Most of these deaths are avoidable as mitigation measures already exist says @richardbenwell.bsky.social:

Government plan to de-link gas and electricity prices aims to reduce bills for consumers after global surge in prices
The analysis looked at data from the few UK vessels that record data on bycatch. (About 0.5% of UK dredging vessels record this information.)
@wclnews.bsky.social used this data to extrapolate the impact of the UK fleet on fish, birds + marine mammals.
Though chaotic, the city’s transition has become a global role model
