So proud of my team @CEIbahamas and all of the great work that we do! Living our mission: leadership effecting change. â at Bahamas
'The Bahamas may no longer exist in the future.'
The Bahamas is on the frontline of the climate crisis where the oceans and animals that call it home are being badly impacted.
Corals are dying at an alarming rate and sea turtles are under threat.
@Noel_Phillips reports.

Really pleased to have visited @TheIslandSchool and seen this great project in partnership with the UK's National @PadstowLobster HatcheryđŹđ§ and @UniofExeterđŹđ§
It's a great partnership leveraging UK research & Bahamian expertise to increase lobster numbers in the CaribbeanđŠ

The bad news is out: Hakai Magazine is shutting down at the end of 2024. Weâre incredibly sad, but our team is proud of the great work weâve done these past 10 years. We have 5 more months of beautiful and unique coastal stories to come. More info here: mailchi.mp/hakaimagazine/impâŠ

Whoever's responsible for the Microsoft outage is getting fired anyway, so the smart thing to do would be knock Teams out for the day too and leave a hero.

Important study once again shows that electric shark deterrents can reduce shark bite probability by ~50%, this time for white, tiger and bull sharks, the three species most responsible for shark bites. They're the obvious way to reduce your bite risk!

The lack of comprehensive data on whale sharks in the Bahamas poses a significant concern, especially considering their importance for global tourism and the potential role of the Bahamas in their migratory routes.

Research is now suggesting that the melting of polar ice is changing how the earth spins & making the days longer.

*Business* leaders were stressing the need for strong universities on @BBCr4today this am, but Iâve seen very little on how next gov will support them @bphillipsonMP. Seems like one area that will boost economy, education, R&D etc etc.
Visa rules, funding and evolving net-zero targets are among scientistsâ concerns as UK citizens prepare to vote next week go.nature.com/3xCjaGb

That tweet so triggering bey. Tipping culture is getting crazy and I blame the Americans, fully. They are the ones that started flipping the screen around to ask for a tip when youâre literally just ordering a coffee. Itâs tip-shaming.đ
Iâd like everyone to know that even though gratuity is included it is not mandatory. I have refused to pay it at restaurants in The Bahamas and elsewhere when the service was woefully inadequate.
When it comes to tipping, I donât mind putting a little extra down especially if the service was beyond superlatives, but what I donât be into is the wait staff saying things like âAw, the gratuity donât come to me so make sure you leave some for meâ or things of that nature. Iâm the worst customer to say that to because I am gonna ask you âhow much do you think your service was worth?â and if you say something ridiculous youâll find out exactly how well Iâve mastered passive sarcastic insults gtfohwtbs đ

LÀs om hur djuphavsforskaren Thomas Dahlgren, @mucofloris , arbetar för att beskriva djuphavets biologiska mÄngfald:
Genomskinliga sjögurkor och rosa havsgrisar Àr nÄgra av de fascinerande djur som upptÀcktes vid vÄrens #djuphavsexpedition till Stilla havet.
"Uppskattningsvis Àr endast 1 av 10 arter som lever hÀr beskrivna" sÀger forskaren Thomas Dahlgren @goteborgsuni. t.ly/bJeDA

ALT âA flamingo, carved in pink agate with rose diamond eyes and chased dull red gold legs. Cartier, one of FabergĂ©âs competitors, chose to produce hardstone flamingos inspired by FabergĂ©âs work. The Royal Collection contains an example which appears stylised and unnaturalistic by comparison with this skilfully executed model.â
