Sarah Schumann, who fishes commercially for bluefish in Rhode Island and leads a campaign for “fishery friendly” climate action, said after attending four listening sessions she’s still unsure how to balance her support for the research with the apprehension she hears in the fishing community.“If I was actually trying to decide where I land on this issue, I’d be twisted in knots,” she said.

In April last year, more than a hundred people marched along a beach carrying signs that read “Keep our sea chemical free.”Sue Sayer, who runs a research group studying seals, said she realized in discussions with Planetary that “they had no idea about what animals or plants or species live in St. Ives Bay.” The company’s initial release of magnesium hydroxide into the bay, she said, fired up a community that is “massively, scientifically passionate about the sea.”

David Santillo, a senior scientist with Greenpeace Research Laboratories at the University of Exeter, took issue with how Planetary proposed tracking the impact of its work. According to a recorded presentation viewed by AP, the company’s baseline measurements in Cornwall were drawn from just a few days.

“If you don’t have a baseline over a number of years and seasons,” Santillo said, “you don’t know whether you would even be able to detect any of your effects.”“Ramazan davulcusu” or Ramadan drummer Muzaffer Kara gets dressed with a traditional attire at his house, in Istanbul, Thursday, March 28, 2024.
