A growing appetite for jellyfish promised a boom for fishers in Honduras. But then the storms came
A decade after Chinese investment, La Mosquitia's processing plant is sitting idle and jobs have been lost as the climate crisis takes its toll.
The jellyfish's vulnerability to changes in climate makes harvesting possible only during the predominantly sunny seasons, which last about three months in Honduras. Extreme weather events frequently reduce or interrupt these windows of opportunity.

Half a million oysters to be introduced to Humber estuary in restoration plan
European flat oyster is defined as ‘collapsed’ in UK but there are hopes it could return to coastal waters.
Half a million native European flat oysters will be introduced to the estuary after being carefully nurtured by Wilder Humber, a partnership between Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and the green energy company Ørsted.
Yorkshire Wildlife Oyster Restoration project, based on the Spurn Point, Humberside.
The project aims to restore the number of native oysters on the seabed of the North sea and Humber estuary.
Oyster Larvae are bred and hatched in a bio controlled location by the The Oyster Restoration Co in remote Scotland. The first batch of 400,000 oysters were transported to Yorkahire Wildlife site on the 4th September 2024 and placed to grow in controlled tanks.

Thousands of salmon escaped an Icelandic fish farm. The impact could be deadly
Aquaculture is bringing jobs and money to rural regions, but a huge escape of farmed fish in August could devastate local salmon populations.
Guðmundur Hauker Jakobsson jumps into the River Blanda. Within minutes, he pulls out a 15lb silver fish, which thrashes and writhes against the net, then another, then another - five in all. The wild salmon of the Blanda here in north-west Iceland are some of the largest and most athletic in a country where the rivers are considered among the world's best.
But these, says Jakobsson, are not wild fish.
Sure enough, it has a rounded tail and torn fins: signs of a farmed salmon. He suspects it's a fugitive from an open-net pen where just last month, on 20 August, thousands of fish grown in pens from a Norwegian strain escaped. They have since been found upstream in rivers, endangering the wild salmon population and hitting the headlines in Iceland.
Suspected escapees have now been found in at least 32 rivers across north-west Iceland, according to unconfirmed social media posts, one of which showed fish covered in sea lice, a parasite that can be lethal to wild fish.

Anger over fish stocks as Senegal village mourns boat disaster dead
Grieving relatives and friends of people who died in Cape Verde boat disaster say more will leave unless conditions improve.
Hundreds of motorised canoes decorated with swirls of green, red and blue line the beach of Fass Boye, a small fishing village in northern Senegal. The handpainted boats, known as pirogues, used to return to shore brimming with fish, residents say. But as fish populations began to ebb over the last decade, the boats assumed a new role. Instead of carrying fishers out to sea, now they take them to Spain's Canary Islands in search of economic opportunities.
On 16 August, one such boat that had departed from Fass Boye with 101 people onboard was found drifting off the coast of Cape Verde. It held only 38 survivors.
Fass Boye residents and environmental groups blame the Senegalese government for doling out fishing permits to industrial trawlers from Asia and Europe, which they say are responsible for the decline in fish stocks.

Anger over fish stocks as Senegal village mourns boat disaster dead
Grieving relatives and friends of people who died in Cape Verde boat disaster say more will leave unless conditions improve.
Hundreds of motorised canoes decorated with swirls of green, red and blue line the beach of Fass Boye, a small fishing village in northern Senegal. The handpainted boats, known as pirogues, used to return to shore brimming with fish, residents say. But as fish populations began to ebb over the last decade, the boats assumed a new role. Instead of carrying fishers out to sea, now they take them to Spain's Canary Islands in search of economic opportunities.
On 16 August, one such boat that had departed from Fass Boye with 101 people onboard was found drifting off the coast of Cape Verde. It held only 38 survivors.
Fass Boye residents and environmental groups blame the Senegalese government for doling out fishing permits to industrial trawlers from Asia and Europe, which they say are responsible for the decline in fish stocks.

'You're looking to die': the Brazil river where illegal fishing threatens lives
Poaching of endangered species flourishes despite widespread outcry - but sustainable fishing could end the violence engulfing the trade.
Jose Maria Batista Damasceno weeps as he describes his decades dodging death in the Brazilian Amazon.
There was the time, along the Japura River, that an illegal fisherman threatened to butcher him if he didn’t get out of town. "You’d better leave or we’ll harpoon you," Damasceno remembers being told.
A few years later he narrowly escaped being ambushed and murdered in another remote corner of the rainforest - just as Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips were last year.
Damasceno isn't an Indigenous activist or journalist, like Pereira and Phillips, whose killings exposed the environmental battle raging deep in South America's rainforests.
He is a fishing engineer who has dedicated his life to convincing small riverside communities that sustainable fishing programs will benefit them more than the quick, short-term profits offered by the illegal fishing mafias.

North Yorkshire puts seaweed at the heart of its carbon-negative ambitions
Seagrown, the UK's largest seaweed farm, is one of the projects driving the region's plan to tackle the climate crisis.
Buoys mark the next frontier in UK farming and an initiative that could help North Yorkshire become the first carbon-negative region in England.
Thirty-five metres beneath the waves is the UKís largest offshore seaweed farm, a 10-hectare (25-acre) patch of ocean managed by a company called Seagrown, started four years ago by a marine chemist, Laura Robinson, and Wave Crookes, an aptly named local trawlerman turned mariner.

Determined fishers are testing their stretches of river for pollution as citizen scientists take on the water companies.
When the Guardian went to visit some Angling Trust members at their clubs around Reading, there was palpable anger in the air.
This is because water companies have been spewing waste into many of these stretches, destroying the hard work, money, and hours of time anglers put in to keeping the rivers healthy. Now, they are fighting back with determined fishers all over the country testing their stretches of river for pollution using kits supplied by the Angling Trust.
150 volunteers have so far signed up to the sampling scheme in England, covering 50 rivers across 18 catchments, and more clubs are signing up every day.
The Angling Trust is using volunteers from regional fishing clubs to conduct regular tests of river water to better understand what could be polluting the water and the origins of the pollutants. This week the organisation has been working with Swallowfield Fishing Club who fish on the Blackwater in Berkshire. Chatting with club member Martin Moore (centre) are Stuard Singleton-White (l) and Martin Salter (r) of the Angling Trust.
