What centuries-old whaler logs can tell us about why bowheads struggle today
Tens of thousands of old logbooks from the 18th and 19th centuries reveal the scope and scale of how industrial whaling nearly wiped out bowhead whales. But they also show why some modern-day populations are surviving better than others.

Pression sur Cuba : le porte-avions américain “Nimitz” est arrivé dans les Caraïbes

L’armée américaine a annoncé, mercredi 20 mai, que le porte-avions américain “Nimitz” et son groupe aéronaval étaient arrivés non loin de Cuba et y resteraient au moins quelques jours. Il s’agit avant tout d’“une démonstration de force”, commente la presse américaine.

📺 NEW VIDEO - Catch up on our #CPCCGWebinar with Joseph Harrison from the University of Salford.

Joseph discussed a key finding in #migrant health research: although foreign‑born #populations often live longer, they may spend more of those extra years in poorer health. Using #Swedish #administrativedata, Joseph examines which major causes of #death show this paradox, offering a clearer picture by relying on objective patient records rather than self‑reported #health: https://youtu.be/CiBkLxADtrk?si=T7jiicfhJfI2XZvV

#Save #Endangered #Sharks and the #EndangeredSpeciesAct
As a wildlife conservationist and waterman who has spent most of my life on the #ocean, I have had the #privilege to #witness the #miraculous #recovery of the Brown Pelican, the Humpback Whale in Hawai'i, and the Gray Whale #populations in my home waters of #California. These majestic creatures, once on the brink of #extinction, have rebounded, thanks in large part to the protections afforded by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). However, the introduction of #ESA Amendments Act of 2025 poses a grave threat to this landmark legislation and the species it #safeguards.

First Nations continue call to save Mactaquac salmon facility
The Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick is continuing to advocate for the Mactaquac Biodiversity Facility. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans announced earlier this year that the facility will close in the fall, a move some conservationists say could threaten salmon populations.
