This week's topic is fishing and harvesting activities. There is no robust data on populations of fish/other commercial species🦀🐟 It is unknown if fishing is conducted at sustainable levels. #marinelife #sustainability #seafishing

Examples of shore gathering activities include seaweed harvesting, bait digging and foraging for Ormers.🪸 Intensive harvesting reduces the biodiversity of our marine intertidal zone. More information is needed on populations to assess impacts. #foraging #ormering #marinelife

Data collected by The Clean Earth Trust suggests that over 9% of marine litter in Guernsey has come from fishing activities.🎣 To find out more about lost or discarded fishing gear found on our beaches, check out: cleanearthtrust.org/thebeachcleanp… #ghostfishinggear #beachclean #fishinglitter

Intensively managed land is not as good for wildlife as sympathetically managed areas.🌻 Species-rich grasslands are declining due to inappropriate management. 1/3 of Guernsey consists of gardens. These areas can provide habitat for species.🐝 #landmanagement #gardenfornature

A lack of land management can be detrimental to biodiversity. This can lead to increases in scrub/woodland. Dense scrub has increased by 64% since 1999.🌳 A balance is needed to implement good land management practices and help increase biodiversity. #conservation #managingland

Connecting our island community with nature is one of the aims of the Nature Commission so it was a real pleasure to be invited to lead Year 4 children from Amherst Primary School on nature walks around The Millennium Walk at St Saviour's Reservoir. 🕷🐞🦆🐦🐝🦋 Guernsey Water

It was great to be invited to lead nature walks for Year 3 children from St Martin's Primary School as part of their stay at Fauxquets Valley campsite. The nature walks were a little soggy at times so we saw a lot of amazing snails!🐌 #NatureEducation
