Yorkshire fishermen scared for livelihoods as ‘everything is dead for miles’

  1. Wild caught fish supply 17% of all animal protein consumed by humans – mostly to poorer communities in Africa and Asia

    Another batch of climate refugees as their food runs out.

  2. About 78% of the earth oxygen is produced by the oceans,

    Anyone know what the plan is for breathing once the delicate eco system collapses ?

  3. And the concern is about fishermen’s wages ?? I mean, that’s bad, but there’s a bigger picture here which is horrific

  4. If they voted Leave, and vote Tory, then they only have themselves to blame.

    If they want to protect the natural environment they need to vote Green.

  5. This article is awful. Doesn’t explain why this is happening or what any official response or policy is to the situation.

  6. I don’t understand, at Filey in Yorkshire there is a place called the Filey Brigg. I went to visit it a few years back…basically it just a massive sewage pipe. There seemed to be a lot more wildlife around the pipe than in the local are. I thought somehow the raw sewage was actually good for the small sea creatures.

  7. It’s going to be a steep decline as water pollution increases and we do nothing to stop it in any meaningful way. The next few years are going to be rough for the climate and it is going to be when we start seeing some big changes that were predicted but we chose to ignore. It would be shocking if we had not known for years that this is the point where climate change is really going to become evident.

  8. One possible cause is seismic surveying for offshore fracking opportunities or even offshore wind farm cable connection with the substation onshore.

    Sound waves directed at the seabed to collect data for sea bed mapping can destroy crustaceans apparently as the energy cannot dissipate and the creature dies.

    If anyone with experience in this field can refute or backup this hypothesis I’d be very appreciative.

    Source: local community magazine had an opinion piece about it last month.

    The writer said a similar incident had been recorded of the east coast of the US.
