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.

Sintia Monico Lopez (35) [left] and Hermaina Meltan Lopez (37) [right] are two female workers at the jellyfish factory and used to be involved in the processing stage of jellyfish production. They were given between 110 and 55 Lempiras [£3.49 and £1.71 respectively] per day working four to five-hour shifts.

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.

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.

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.

Offshore wind could blow us out of the water, say Cornish fishers.
Newlyn trawler owners stress that they’re not against renewables, but fear for their fishing grounds if the Celtic Sea is carved up and sold by the crown estate.
Newlyn, in south-west Cornwall, is home to one of Britain’s largest trawler fleets, with more than 100 boats regularly landing catches. However, miles out to sea, a storm is brewing.
The boats’ fishing ground could end up being squeezed by floating windfarms planned for the Celtic Sea, an area of the Atlantic bordered by Cornwall, south-west Wales, southern Ireland and the north-western edge of France. In July, the crown estate – the Queen’s property manager and owner of the seabed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland – announced that five sites in the Celtic Sea could host offshore installations that could deliver four gigawatts of wind energy by 2035. Up to 300 turbines would power nearly 4m homes, and generate income for the crown and the Treasury.

Newlyn trawler owners stress that they’re not against renewables, but fear for their fishing grounds if the Celtic Sea is carved up and sold by the crown estate.
Newlyn, in south-west Cornwall, is home to one of Britain’s largest trawler fleets, with more than 100 boats regularly landing catches. However, miles out to sea, a storm is brewing.
The boats’ fishing ground could end up being squeezed by floating windfarms planned for the Celtic Sea, an area of the Atlantic bordered by Cornwall, south-west Wales, southern Ireland and the north-western edge of France. In July, the crown estate – the Queen’s property manager and owner of the seabed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland – announced that five sites in the Celtic Sea could host offshore installations that could deliver four gigawatts of wind energy by 2035. Up to 300 turbines would power nearly 4m homes, and generate income for the crown and the Treasury.

Offshore wind could blow us out of the water, say Cornish fishers.
