BREAKING: 5 seabird species added to UK Red List. 🚨 Climate change, invasive predators, bird flu, and overfishing are pushing populations to the brink. Urgent action is needed - including upholding the sandeel fishing closure in English North Sea & Scottish waters.

Seabirds are among the most threatened bird groups in the world, with nearly one-third at risk of extinction. A recent study by a team of ecologists found that almost 200,000 individual birds are caught and killed in European waters yearly. …lpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ac…

44 experts from 15 countries issued a stark warning about the dangers of crossing an ocean circulation tipping point, in an open letter to the Nordic Council of Ministers. I had the honor to present it to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson yesterday. #AMOC

Another “Don’t Look Up” moment Ocean currents regulate the planet. Transferring heat and cold around the globe. One estimate suggests without the Atlantic Overturning Circulation (AMOC) the seas at the equator would be 20c hotter and 20c colder to the north. Short 🧵 #Climate

Very exciting to see this celebration of the work of so many people who care about seabirds 🌊 🥳 We'd love to see any new seabird tracking data for the next 20 years of marine conservation! #ornithology

The risk of an #AMOC shutdown - explained in 15 minutes at the Arctic Circle in Reykjavik on Saturday. I had the honor of presenting a letter by 44 experts warning of that underestimated risk to many countries. Watch the video: youtu.be/k0FUZKQhU6U?t=…

Using data from @bgc_argo—a network of autonomous floating units—researchers estimate the global stock of phytoplankton carbon biomass as approximately 314 teragrams, just ~0.06% of the biomass of the entire biosphere. In PNAS: ow.ly/5IEp50TZeUU
