Ever notice small scale #aquaculture (SSA) doesn't seem to get much attention? Us too. We ran a semi-quant synthesis of the the literature and found it is poorly defined, missing from the US & Europe, & underrepresented in marine systems (e.g., oysters) dx.doi.org/10.1111/raq....

Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves - Nature The viability of Antarctic ice shelves under low rates and high rates of global warming is modelled to estimate when it will become unfeasible for the ice shelves to maintain their present-day shape.

🌊 Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves

If global temps stay <2 Β°C, nearly all 64 ice shelves survive by 2300. But above ~4.5 Β°C, ocean melt causes 38 shelves to collapse by 2300, risking up to 10 m sea level rise.

Graphic with two parts. Panel 1 is a map of the Bering sea, showing that the cold pool was much smaller between June and August of 2018 and 2019 than it was on average during the summer from 1993 to 2013. The map also shows the area of an annual survey of the snow crab population, which intersects partially with the cold pool. Panel 2 shows two line graphs comparing the average cold pool area with the snow crab population from 1992 to the early 2020s. The cold pool area dropped to its lowest point in summer 2018, and the snow crab population plummeted the following year.

Warmer waters in the Bering Sea caused snow crabs to crash. Now, scientists are racing to predict the future of the lucrative fishery.

Hazardous chemicals & waste don’t just harm the planet β€” they affect our health too.

The Basel, Rotterdam & Stockholm Conventions work together to protect people and the environment from these dangers.

Cover of the 2025 EAT–Lancet report, featuring an image of a person scooping up green vegetables in their hands from a large plate. The report quote: β€œThe targets of the EAT–Lancet Commission for healthy people on a healthy planet with just food systems can only be met through concerted global action and unprecedented levels of transformative change.”

The world produces enough food, yet billions lack access to healthy & sustainable diets. A new EAT–Lancet report presents a science-based approach to improve health, safeguard our environment & provide for a projected 9.6 billion people by 2050.

Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance - Nature A revised β€˜Doughnut’ providing a visual assessment of trends in social deprivation and planetary degradation over the past two decades shows more than doubling of global GDP accompanied by accelerating ecological overshoot but only a modest reduction in human deprivation.

For me, our latest Doughnut findings underscore the urgency and importance of the collective work to move beyond GDP as the measure of economic success, reorienting economies to create a future that provides a good life for all within planetary boundaries. Dive in! /FIN

Exclusive: ex-CDC director talks about why she was fired β€œI would never do that, as a scientist,” Susan Monarez says of being asked to approve changes to vaccine recommendations without knowing the details.

EXCLUSIVE: In her first interview all year, Susan Monarez, CDC director for only 29 days, tells me why Trump/RFK fired her and where this is all headed.

The CDC director is an β€œinherently political position, but that doesn’t mean that it has to be politically compromised”, she tells @nature.com.
