Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! We are proud to announce that we have officially published our second installment in our Tales From The Baltic article series! Today’s article focuses on the numerous dead zones in the baltic sea, why they are there, how they form, & what their consequences are. The area of the central Baltic Sea covering (as of 2024) approximately 70,000 square kilometers is considered the largest human-induced oxygen dead zone. The second largest is located in the Gulf of Mexico, yet it is 3 times smaller than the largest one. However, despite this fact, few people know of its existence, and the importance of preventing it from expanding. Here, we will break down the causes behind the formation of oxygen-depleted areas and the consequences that follow.  To access this article, please visit the link below, or visit the website in our profile. https://www.thepersaudcatalog.org/post/tales-from-the-baltic-the-largest-human-induced-oxygen-dead-zone

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! Recently, one of our science writers contributed a fascinating article all about the perplexing Anomalocaris! One of the strangest animals to ever live that supersedes the exotic platypus or the virtually invincible tardigrade was Anomalocaris canadensis, often simply referred to as Anomalocaris. Its scientific name, Anomalocaris, translates to “unlike other shrimp” from Greek, with canadensis translating to “from Canada” from Latin. This arthropod roamed the oceans and was a major predator, growing up to six feet long—longer than the average adult human male! Anomalocaris is part of the phylum Arthropoda, which includes isopods such as sand fleas, which you have most likely encountered on a fun trip to the beach.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! Recently, we published the latest installment in our Disasters at Sea article series. This month’s feature focuses on how climate change is affecting Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. For thousands of years, ocean currents have flowed around the globe, influencing weather patterns and shaping ecosystems as they go. This global conveyor belt has a “motor” called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) that drives our currents, but climate change is weakening it. It may be surprising that global warming impacts ocean currents, but the warmer our planet gets, the more likely our dynamic ocean and weather patterns will shift. We thank science writer Emily Cohen for contributing this article.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! In collaboration with our brilliant Social Media Volunteers, we created a series of informational graphics on sustainable fisheries. Our final graphic focuses on some of the ways that YOU can be sustainable in your diet when it comes to seafood. One of the ways to do your part in creating the push for sustainable seafood practices in fisheries is to be more sustainable in your diet. One way to do this is to shop locally in order to support your local businesses and the communities they support. Shopping locally also helps you develop a relationship with local fish mongers, allowing for more traceability. It is important to ensure the products you purchase are traceable, meaning you know where the fish was sourced from. There are several resources for this such as friendofthesea.com and Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch. These websites are great resources that list out products that offer sustainably sourced seafood and companies that are contributing to marine conservation.  Another factor to be mindful of when attempting to stay on a sustainable seafood diet is to avoid overfished species. To stay informed, doing research on websites by organizations such as NOAA Fisheries and World Wildlife Fund can keep you updated on the fish that are at risk. Purchasing products that are MSC or ASC approved is also a more convenient way to ensure that the products are sustainable. Both organizations set the standard on making sure that the fisheries are leaving enough fish in the water and ensuring that the fish farms are protecting the environment, treating the fish well, and supporting local workers.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! In collaboration with our brilliant Social Media Volunteers, we created a series of informational graphics on sustainable fisheries. Today’s graphic focuses on sustainability in fisheries.  While fisheries may have certain negative impacts on the environment and marine ecosystem, proper regulation of the industry can help reduce these cons to become a more sustainable industry. One way is to ensure that protected species such as turtles don’t get caught in the nets of the fishing industry’s highly favored method of catch, trawling. Turtle excluder devices, also known as TEDs, help prevent sea turtles that may get stuck in trawling nets and allow them to escape safely. They are made of metal bars and mesh that fit inside the net and have been 97 percent effective in reducing the amount of turtles that get caught in shrimp trawls.  Cetaceans, such as dolphins and whales, are also at risk of getting caught in commercial fishing gear that results in injury or death. One device that was introduced to reduce these instances is acoustic pingers. It works by emitting high frequency sounds that keep the animals away from fishing gear. They have proven to cause a reduction in bycatch of many cetacean species but could still use some improvements to be more effective in deterring dugongs, humpback whales, and bottlenose dolphins.  Another way of making fisheries most sustainable is by setting an annual catch limit. Monitoring annual catch levels helps reduce overfishing and allows for long-term biological sustainability. The recommended steps in this process include calculating the overfishing limit, recommending the acceptable biological catch, specifying the annual limit, and setting annual targets.  Certifications such as MSC and ASC are a great way to support the fight against overfishing.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! In collaboration with our brilliant Social Media Volunteers, we created a series of informational graphics on sustainable fisheries. Today’s graphic focuses on bycatch & trawling. Bycatch is the accidental catching of non-targeted species during commercial fishing operations. Bycatch could include non-target species, young fish, and protected species. It is a complicated issue that affects marine wildlife globally. Trawling is the act of towing a large net across the ocean floor with a boat to capture certain species of crabs or ground fish. The mesh net is designed to contain the fish inside the net as they reel it up to the surface. There are two different types of trawling, bottom trawling, which includes scraping the sea floor, and midwater trawling. Trawling has negative effects on other marine life in the ocean that are not the intended targets of catch. They can become entangled while foraging. Animals such as pilot whales, dolphins, and sea turtles are at high risk of being caught in bottom trawl; they may drown, get injured, or face stress and exhaustion from the capture and release. Trawling does not have to cease entirely, there are ways it can remain a sustainable approach to capturing fish. For instance, in the case of sea turtles, fisheries have introduced turtle exclusion devices which are a grid of bars with an opening near the end of the trawl net which allows for turtles to escape. This has greatly reduced turtle mortality rates in trawl fisheries. Trawling also does environmental damage to the ocean floor, damaging coral & delicate habitats. Some recommended methods to control this method of catching fish are to reduce the number of tows at night and reducing the duration of each tow.
