Rousseau on #inourtime: "Hold childhood in reverence, and do not be in any hurry to judge it... You are afraid to see him spending his early years doing nothing. What! is it nothing to be happy, nothing to run and jump all day?" Also Rousseau: abandons all 5 babies at orphanage.

Wow - despite the "Thames effect", humpbacks are doing the opposite of what many shark populations have done (>90% declines since 1950!)

So many perks

⁦Ed Hawkins⁩ - creator of #WarmingStripes - has also produced these images of changes in average temperatures for each #ocean basin from 1901-2018. What jumps out at you from these?

Finned sharks may "survive" (miraculously!) but... presumably they're having difficulty staying upright, making sudden turns, displaying dominance and mating, given that the dorsal fin plays a role in all of these things...

Iceland demonstrating best-practice 1st world fisheries management: ensure your fisheries minister is ex-director of major fish company, bribe Namibian officials for access, oh and make sure a fifth of MPs own "stocks in stocks", i.e. fishing companies. bit.ly/2OiiY49

In the same week that great #hammerhead #sharks have been shown to be apex predators crucial to ecosystem function, don't forget you can still pick up some dried, very, very juvenile scalloped hammerheads, four for the price of $1.50, in your local market in #Madagascar...

No, Daily Express those aren't great white sharks in Australia #sevenworldsoneplanet "filling their stomachs’ in brutal once in decade coastal onslaught"... they're actually whaler sharks. Ridiculously out of touch and inaccurate reporting IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation) bit.ly/34dmQtV

... although it is fascinating to see that #BBC #sevenworldsoneplanet falls into the usual clichés with sharks (eery music/the "ruthless predator" that is "well able to pick off reef fish"; actually they have relatively low hunting success rates of 5-8% bit.ly/35npD3S)

... whereas, for example, in the puma sequence in #sevenworldsoneplanet, the predator not only gets a cute name (Sarmiento) but also a heartrending back story of her struggle to feed her cubs in the face of insurmountable adversity. #predatortypecasting

Despite the huge spatial & temporal overlap of N Atl #mako sharks with #fishing, & the 'overfishing/overfished' stock assessment, #ICCAT2019 members reject total retention ban - any real interest in shark fisheries management or sustainable fishing? nature.com/articles/s4158…
