Remember #DarkOxygen? The discovery that rocks on the seafloor may be producing O2 went thru 3 years of peer review. Rebuttals go thru peer review. That's science. Why did @ScienceMagazine cover a mining company's rebuttal before journal acceptance?(1/5) science.org/content/article/…

🌊 A new @oceana analysis reveals nearly 3000 fishing vessels spent months — and sometimes years — at sea without coming to port. ⛴️ These long voyages can be a risk indicator of #IUUFishing or human rights violations on the ocean. Details here: bit.ly/3KYCNLt
