It’s the go-to meal for a visit to the seaside, but cod and chips could soon be off the menu, according to a new study. Researchers from Rutgers University have warned that rising sea temperatures will mean fewer popular fish species will be available to catch over the next 200 years. ‘While the species we fish today will be there tomorrow, they will not be there in the same abundance,’ warned Dr Malin Pinsky, co-author of the study. Experts from Aberdeen analysed 30 years of trawl survey data on cod, haddock, whiting and saith from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. They found that while juvenile fish in the North Sea and the West of Scotland have been getting bigger, the size of adults has been decreasing.
As data science has grown in importance, it has encountered the IS department with increasing frequency.These encounters produce lots of misunderstandings,…
Like in many other European countries, the temperature record in the Netherlands was broken in the summer of 2019. In the city Gilze and Rijen it became 40,7 °C. Even more remarkable: this was two degrees above the old record, 38,6 °C measured on 23 august 1944! Across the world, the weather becomes increasingly weirder, and above all, warmer. To stop this climate change, a world-wide transition to a so-called circular economy is needed. A definition to measure the ‘circularity’ of products and services is however missing. An increasing number of companies say they are on a mission to become 100 % circular, but what they mean remains unclear!
On January 31, the Department of Environmental Protection announced 13 projects in eight Southcentral Pennsylvania counties, aimed at watershed restoration and protection, have been awarded more than $4.7 million in funding through this year’s Growing Greener Grants. “Growing Greener is the single largest investment of state funds that goes directly towards addressing critical environmental concerns of the 21st century,” said DEP Southcentral Regional Director Rod Nesmith. “Now in its third decade, DEP’s Growing Greener continues to play an essential role in restoring and protecting the health of streams and rivers in communities across Pennsylvania. The grant program provides necessary funding for a variety of projects focused on creating a cleaner environment for all Pennsylvanians.”
