Ukraine’s 123rd Territorial Defense Brigade completed a combat mission on the Kinburn using a ground robotic system delivered by an unmanned sea platform. The robot was landed on occupied territory and deployed without exposing troops to the same level of risk. The first operation of its kind.

Chronic ocean warming drives 20% annual decline in fish biomass - Oceanographic Magazine ->Oceanographic | More on "Ocean warming fish biomass decline" at BigEarthData.ai | #OceanWarming #Fish

oceanographicmagazine.comChronic ocean warming drives 20% annual decline in fish biomass - Oceanographic MagazineChronic ocean warming is driving a near 20% annual decline in fish biomass across large swathes of the Northern Hemisphere, according to a startling new study led by scientists at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales and the National University of Colombia. It’s a sweeping study that goes some length to paint the complexity of the picture. This is a story more nuanced than a simple downward trend, but one that has found that extreme marine heatwaves – those now increasing in frequency and intensity – can temporarily obscure this long-term decline by triggering short-lived biomass surges in some of the ocean’s colder regions. Drawing on an unprecedented dataset of 702,037 biomass change estimates from 33,990 fish populations recorded between 1993 and 2021, the team examined trends across the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic and the Northeastern Pacific. The scale of the analysis provides critical insight for fisheries management and marine conservation at a time when global food security is under mounting pressure. Marine heatwaves do not affect all species equally. Instead, impacts hinge on what scientists describe as a species’ “thermal comfort zone” – the temperature range in which it can grow and reproduce most effectively. When extreme heat pushes...
