Saturday Morning Ocean Story 🌊 I’m fortunate to live just 2 minutes from the fjord and forest 🌲🌊, deeply connected with nature. But in our busy, urban lives, many are losing touch with the natural world around us. That’s why it’s vital to share incredible stories of marine life, like this fascinating journey of Atlantic bluefin tuna 🐟 by Havforskningsinstituttet (Institute of Marine Research in Norway). Did you know these remarkable fish can reach speeds of up to 70 km/h (43 mph) and travel up to 45,000 kilometers each year on their migrations? Populations in areas like the North Sea and Skagerrak are now showing signs of recovery after years of decline, thanks to conservation efforts. However, continued responsible management is key to ensuring their long-term survival. Read more here (article in 🇳🇴): 👉 https://lnkd.in/dRiyvyRj

Celebrating World Migratory Bird Day! 🐦⬛ 🎊 Tomorrow, we will honour the crucial role birds play in our natural heritage and ecosystems. They not only provide cultural and economic benefits but also help control pests and manage waste. However, the latest report indicates that 30% of breeding birds are in decline, with migratory species particularly impacted by agriculture and urbanisation. In our Wadden Sea Flyway Initiative, we have been working with partners along the East Atlantic Flyway to improve their protection for over a decade. Since 2023, the European Commission has been supporting Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands through the Technical Support Instrument (TSI) to monitor waterbird movements along the East Atlantic Flyway.
