Has France failed its children?
Denis Loctier explains on #EuropeToday the impact of the murder of an 11-year-old girl in France, as thousands protest over alleged systemic failures and the justice minister orders a review of 70,000 allegations of violence against minors.
"We want to attract responsible people who appreciate nature," told me Ramona Remmen, local museum manager on Norway's Træna archipelago. While tourism can support these tiny islands' economy, its uncontrolled growth risks disrupting both the community and local ecosystems.
Where marine science meets tourism: on Faial Island, the whale-watching company Naturalist stands out — it’s run entirely by scientists 🐋 Marine biologist Gisela Dionísio told me why that makes it a win-win.
Fish are vital for🇲🇷#Mauritania’s economy and food security. But some key species face serious threats. In Nouakchott, I spoke with Mohamed El-Hafedh Ould Ejiwen, head of IMROP, about how science is guiding efforts to preserve and restore fish stocks.

With floating turbines, offshore wind parks can move into deeper, windier waters — unlocking 80% of Europe’s sea area for green power. At @WindEuropeEvent, I spoke with Stine Myhre Selås from @Equinor about this next leap for renewables.

Some sectors can’t go electric — but they can go green. In Esbjerg, I interviewed Lars Dyrholm from European Energy on how #GreenHydrogen and #EMethane, produced with offshore wind energy, can replace fossil fuels for hard-to-abate industries. #EnergyTransition
Les pêcheurs 🇫🇷 testent des balises #DolphinFree — une nouvelle approche pour éloigner les dauphins des filets. À Audierne, j’ai parlé avec Virginie Lagarde du #CDPMEM29 : cette balise peut-elle protéger les dauphins tout en aidant la pêche à reprendre normalement ?
French fishers are testing #DolphinFree pingers, using a new approach to keep dolphins away from nets. In Audierne, I spoke with #CDPMEM29 Virginie Lagarde about what fishers think of this tech — can it protect dolphins while helping fishing in the Bay of Biscay return to normal?
The 𝟳𝟬th episode of my TV series "Ocean" airs this week! This time, we explore how Northern Sweden managed to preserve its wild salmon while many other regions couldn’t.
Fish ladders, salmon slides, and restored riverbeds: the region of Norrbotten in northern Sweden is helping wild salmon feel at home in its rivers once again. 🐟🏞

Italy’s underwater WiFi. Portugal’s fish-powered farms. Europe’s #blueeconomy startups are innovating big—but funding them?
In this Ocean episode, w/@euronewsgreen shows how the EU’s #BlueInvest is helping turn ocean ideas into real change. 🌊

GETTING AROUND THE WORKPLACE
🛗 Normal people: take elevator
🤿 Me: gets towed by speedboat in full SCUBA gear
Yesterday, we filmed a dive in the “Secche della Meloria” marine protected area near Livorno, where Italian researchers tested an underwater acoustic “WiFi/GPS” system developed by @WSENSE_IoUT through the WTAG project. Look out for my TV story on it, coming in November!
Five offshore wind test sites (including @plocan that I visited this year) teamed up to improve conditions for floating wind projects — they aim to tackle challenges like permitting to speed up testing and innovation, keeping EU at the forefront of floating wind technology
@Loctier, We urge the EU to allow us to test asap EU innovation in EU waters, releasing the EU technology in the EU on time and keeping the pace of the USA and China. We need urgent action at the EU level to speed up bureaucracy and regulation to deliver the potential of the coming wave of technologies for the energy transition. renews.biz/95950/hamburg-202…
It takes a scientist a full day at the microscope to count plankton in a seawater sample, but AI can do the same work in just 30 minutes. Ocean data is exploding, opening up incredible possibilities. Don’t miss this month’s Ocean episode, which I produced in Italy and Belgium!
Have you heard of the EU’s ‘Digital Twin of the Ocean’? 🌊🌐
This powerful modelling tool will make complex scientific data accessible to everyone. 🔬
