in addition to the usual catch of smaller inshore fish, I find juvenile tuna and sharks. And as I slow down to make my observation, the Koli women flash a wide smile and say to me, “Arre, ghey ki”, (Come on, buy some).
The phytoplankton in the sea, and the plankton food web they support, underpin the rest of the marine food chain.
Falkland Conservation is a non-governmental organisation working to protect the wildlife in the Falkland Islands for future generations. It undertakes practical conservation projects, surveys and scientific studies, conducts annual monitoring of seabird populations, rehabilitates penguins.
Research suggests that the oceans’ phytoplankton are declining in abundance in many places.
Mangroves are the rainforests by the sea, found at the boundary where land meets ocean. They serve a wide range of ecological functions, providing economically valuable products and services.
Ghost Fishing’ is what fishing gear does when it has been lost, dumped or abandoned. Imagine a fishing net that gets snagged on a reef or a wreck and gets detached from the fishing vessel.
The most underappreciated of marine ecosystems, the humble seagrass meadow.
If you were to ask people what influences the abundance of fish in the sea, most would probably answer ‘commercial fishing’. While it is true that commercial fishing can deplete fish stocks, another important factor, the ‘environment’, or more accurately, environmental variability.
