Subsidizing extinction: Subsidies, Sustainable Development Goals and the World Trade Organization
The ocean and biodiversity support our life, yet both are being degraded by direct (e.g. overexploitation, climate change) and indirect (e.g., unsustainable consumption) drivers. A key policy-related driver of ocean and terrestrial biodiversity degradation is harmful subsidies, i.e., government transfers to an economic sector, such as fishing and oil and gas, that lead to artificially […]

The Weddell seal is a fast-ice-obligate, mesopredator found around the Antarctic coastline. Traditional methods of understanding population abundance, including shipboard or aerial transects, are cost-prohibitive and risky, so we combined high-resolution satellite imagery (VHR) with the web platform, Tomnod, to conduct a citizen science campaign to: 1) determine where seals are present, 2) estimate abundance […]
