Here is a recap of cumulative pressures. Next, we will see how #CumulativeEffects can cause tipping points.
Stay tuned!!!

To understand this, we need to understand how humans impact marine ecosystems. In the previous MOOC, you have learned that WE need the ocean but our activities IMPACT the ocean

And sign out from Teams

And then can't make another lyric rhyme

That's because you're poorly...

What are cumulative effects? These occur when multiple environmental pressures impact marine ecosystems simultaneously, leading to greater overall harm. Understanding these effects is crucial for effective marine conservation and management. 🌍🐟 #GES4SEAS #CumulativeEffects

In the GES4SEAS HEU project we made a video explaining this concept of cumulative pressures. We hope it makes it more clear to you!

“If the Government of #Alberta allows Pathways Alliance to skip the #environmental assessment and carries out a piecemeal approval process, the government – and the public – will be unable to identify the project-specific and #cumulativeeffects of the largest #carbon capture project in Canadian history." https://environmentaldefence.ca/2024/05/14/the-health-environmental-and-financial-risks-of-oil-sands-carbon-capture-projects-need-to-be-adequately-assessed-by-alberta-2/

Yet more on Canada's treatment of species at risk. Industry trumps any attempt at effective recovery.

Haven’t shared a lot of my #research on here yet, but #today I’m sharing an #openaccess paper I’m particularly #proud of 🥹. We used #expertopinion to develop a #cumulativeeffects model of the #multiplestressors affecting the #Arctic seabird Northern Fulmar. #fishing, #climatechange, #oil and #mining as well as resulting #boat traffic, #noise pollution, and #contaminants including #plastic are big contributors.

Hey Mastodon! Time for my #Introduction:

I'm a wildlife biologist living in #Whitehorse #Yukon. My focus is on monitoring, managing, and assessing the #CumulativeEffects of disturbance - particularly on #Caribou #GrizzlyBears & #moose. I live in, work on, and explore incredibly beautiful landscapes every day.

I love hiking, cross-country skiing and being outside summer or winter! I'm passionate about gardening, science, cooking, and dogs! Oh and I'm a #LivingLiverDonor.

Pronouns: she/her

What are the main direct drivers of recent biodiversity loss globally?
1 Land/sea-use change
2 Direct exploitation
3 Pollution.
Climate change only 4th, but will probably rise fast.
