Coconut crabs (Birgus latro) are found in abundance on #AldabraAtoll. It is the largest terrestrial crab in the world, and it’s crazy to think its life starts just like this! 📸 Joey Latsha (1/2)

Last week at the @FaureFoundation Ocean Fair we spoke to many about the impact of #marinedebris on remote islands like #AldabraAtoll. Although the @AldabraCleanUp removed 25 tonnes of washed-up debris from Aldabra, it is estimated that over 500 tonnes remain… (Burt et al, 2020)

In 2019 the @AldabraCleanUp showed the huge amount of trash from industrial tuna fisheries operating in Seychelles, Including Fish aggregating Devices (FADs) Last month EU and Seychelles blocked proposals to reduce FAD use to protect tuna stocks.

My advance copy of Biology: The Whole Story, beautifully illustrated by @cecilegirardin and published by @DFB_storyhouse. It covers all levels of biology and explains key concepts in a clear and readable way. Thanks to the many in @OxfordBiology who helped!

📢A phased reduction in the number of drifting FADs permitted per vessel! 📋 The creation of a drifting FAD registry and 🐟A 72-day closure period for drifting FADs Less FADs means less pollution arriving on Aldabra AND a reduction of fishing pressure on Tuna 👏🙌

Exciting news from Kenya! The #IOTC has adopted two resolutions on Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) to curb harm to marine life - A phased reduction in the number of #FADs permitted per vessel and the creation of a drifting FAD registry.👏 Full statement👉buff.ly/40tSPU9

‘Crisis Column’ by Mariaan Laubscher was displayed at the Seychelles Biennale, depicting only a small fraction of what washes up on our beaches each day. Made using flip flops collected during the @AldabraCleanUp, this sculpture shows us that we still have much to learn.
