So you want to work in oceans?

The starting guide for anyone trying to work in oceans.

I like that this is a beginner’s map for breaking into ocean/climate work when there is no obvious career path. The author’s main point is to not wait for the perfect “ocean job” title; build fluency in the ecosystem, learn the vocabulary, follow where money/policy/innovation are moving, join the networks, and position your existing transferable skills as ocean-relevant. And yes, sometimes that means reaching out to others even when it feels like an awkward cold call.

The ocean needs people who can design programs, build partnerships, translate science and data into action, communicate and tell stories, understand (and create!) policy, implement projects, and raise funding. Many of these roles do not require a marine science degree and anyone in the blue or green economy will tell you they need people with skills across the board. I think this just happened across my timeline at just the right time as a good reminder.

70% Drop in Levels of Forever Chemicals Observed in Seabird Eggs Tracks Regulatory Success

These pescatarian birds are directly exposed to PFAS contamination due to the island's position near the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.

While continued vigilance a regulation is needed, this data indicates that regulations are working to reduce PFAS concentrations in marine ecosystems.

Yes!!!! I did a review of literature on PFASs in human drinking water about half a year ago, and there is a lot of really good progress! Please celebrate this, please don't let this solution be forgotten (at least so quickly) as the ozone layer or acid rain.

We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!

Environmental problems CAN BE SOLVED.
