Strong winds reduce the energy required for flight and take off in albatrosses; however, little is known about how wind impacts other behaviors, such as foraging. Darby et al. combined at-sea behavior and stomach-temperature data from two species of albatross to demonstrate the negative impact of stormy weather on foraging behavior and prey capture.

This #WorldOceanDay, we are proud to spotlight the work of our author Deborah Rowan Wright, whose bold and far-reaching strategy of 100 percent ocean protection is the subject of her uplifting book Future Sea: How to Rescue and Protect the World’s Oceans. https://bit.ly/3VcUSdB

🌊 Join the DaWetRest project! 🌍 We're on a mission to restore freshwater ecosystems by 2030, and YOU can be a part of it! 🌱 Are you located in a region with similar ecosystems or in a less-developed area? You could be eligible to become one of our Associated Regions! We're looking for areas that share ecosystems, whether neighbouring regions or those in different river basins, to join us in implementing innovative solutions for restoration. 💧 Your proposed activities should complement our DEMO activities and demonstrate high quality and credibility. Together, we can make a real difference in restoring our oceans and waters. 🌏 We're selecting representatives from six Associated Regions, spanning the catchment areas of the Danube/Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic and Arctic basins. At least one representative from each basin will be chosen, with two from the Danube-Black Sea basin. Ready to be a part of something bigger? Apply now to be a DaWetRest Associated Region and help us achieve our goal of restoring our precious freshwater ecosystems by 2030!

Researchers fitted acoustic trackers to wild young salmon – here’s what they found out : Salmon smolts prefer direct route to open ocean, study finds. A new study from Norway's Institute of Marine Research (Havforskningsinstituttet) has revealed that young salmon smolts from Namsen predominantly swim directly westward towards the open ocean, avoiding areas with high concentrations of fish farms. https://lnkd.in/d9Rqg3UD

Every week I look into marine science news and topics for the Coastal Catch Ups Newsletter. Before this week starts I would like to know Is there a topic you want to learn more about?
