Hi, everyone! My marine biology and conservation blog has three discussions going on that many of you might be interested in.
The first concerns a recent paper in the journal of conservation biology. The authors argue that it is sometimes necessary to kill individual sharks for the benefit of species-level conservation, and it has generated a lot of strong opinions. What do you think? Join the discussion here: http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=5412 Red snapper are one of the most overfished species in the United States, but tough new regulations have fishermen marching on Washington, DC in protest. Two commercial fishermen agreed to take my questions about their side of the story. See their responses and leave more questions for them here: http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=5746 Finally, my co-blogger has compiled a list of the internet's best resources for oil spill news. It includes blog posts and Twitter feeds. Check it out, and let us know if you have any that we should add: http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?page_id=5720 Thanks, everyone!
