Scientists take bold new approach to curb growing underwater threat: 'It starts with a scientist being ignored'
Scientists have found a delicious solution to an invasive species problem: eating long-spined sea urchins could save Tasmania's kelp forests, Cosmos Magazine reported. Rising ocean temperatures are pushing these spiny creatures southward from New South Wales to Tasmania's rocky coast. Their population has exploded from just a few individuals to around 18 million in recent years, creating what researchers call an ecological crisis. You might wonder why this matters to you. When sea urchins devour kelp forests, they create barren areas that destroy habitat for hundreds of other species, including commercially important fish. This affects food supplies, local economies, and recreational fishing that many families enjoy. "It's like most disaster movies. It starts with a scientist being ignored," said the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies' Scott Ling, who first warned about the threat to Tasmania's kelp beds, per Cosmos Magazine. The solution? Eating more sea urchin roe, a delicacy that drives a billion-dollar global market. By encouraging commercial fishing of these invasive creatures, you can help protect coastal ecosystems while enjoying what many consider a gourmet treat that tastes salty and fishy and looks like orange-yellow mandarin slices. University of Tasmania marine biologist Katie Cresswell's study recommends targeted "overfishing" of the urchins, particularly in areas valuable to the abalone industry. "This study sets our Tasmanian story of this 'edible pest' in an international context," she said, per Cosmos Magazine. Her research shows this approach is working — commercial fisheries have removed about 1.2 million urchins yearly from Tasmanian reefs for the past six years. "We used modelling to estimate how much worse the urchin problem would be without commercial fishing — and the answer is at least twice as bad," Cresswell said of the study, published in Nature Sustainability. "This will impact ecosystems and communities alike, so it's increasingly important to use modelling to guide flexible management decisions that balance sustainability with economic needs," Cresswell said about the broader effects of climate-driven species migration.

Wrexham eye triple Premier League transfer including ex-England duo
Wrexham have set about their ambitious transfer activity with several Premier League stars, including Danny Ings, on their radar ahead of their Championship return Wrexham have set their sights on a number of Premier League veterans ahead of their return to the Championship with former England duo Danny Ings and Aaron Cresswell both on their radar. The pair have just left West Ham and are on the lookout for new clubs. Cresswell and Ings are both into their 30s, but will have plenty to offer if they dropped down to the second tier with the Welsh side. Wrexham, backed by their Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have continued to show their financial muscle when it comes to their recruitment and are looking to add several players with top flight experience. Ings moved to West Ham from Aston Villa for £12million in January 2023, but is already no longer part of the club's plans. Cresswell, meanwhile, who has won three caps with the Three Lions, has been performing for the Hammers in the Premier League for a decade and is another player who would add valuable experience and quality. Welsh goalkeeper Danny Ward is another man who is on the market, reports The Sun. He is free to leave Leicester after a difficult spell and could and has landed 44 caps for his country. He was a schoolkid at Wrexham before joining Liverpool in 2012 and could relish the chance to return to the Racecourse Ground. The Welsh-based outfit have also put former Wolves centre-back Craig Dawson on their shortlist of targets, but may face competition from Derby. The 35-year-old wants to remain playing but the Rams want to bring him to Pride Park. Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson has also admitted that the club will look to exercise the loan market, knowing that players will be willing to drop down one league. "The loan market is something we are looking at," he told The Athletic. "It's all about touching base with the Premier League loans managers, making sure we have an understanding of who could become available. "We can probably attract a better calibre of player than we'd have been able to do in the past. Premier League teams are reluctant to loan out their elite players into League One. It has to be a player you believe can make an instant impact and is going to make a significant contribution as the season goes on." Wrexham have become the first team to reach the second via three promotions in a row. They've shot up from the National League and secured their spot in the Championship after finishing second in League One.

Wrexham linked with second England international in bad news for James McClean
Wrexham linked with second England international in bad news for James McClean Wrexham are reportedly keen on signing Aaron Cresswell after the experienced left-back confirmed he would be leaving West Ham upon the expiration of his contract The potential arrival of Aaron Cresswell could be bad news for Wrexham captain James McClean (Image:) Wrexham have been connected with a potential move for another England international in a development that could spell bad news for captain James McClean. The Welsh team, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, were linked last week with an attempt to lure Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson to Wales. And Aaron Cresswell is now reportedly their newest transfer target after bidding a heartfelt goodbye to West Ham. As per ReluctantNicko via Patreon, both Wrexham and Leeds are vying for the left-back's signature ahead of his contract expiring next month. It's reported that the Red Dragons may have the upper hand due to their closeness to his original home of Merseyside and the promise of regular playing time. Wrexham are also believed to be prepared to present an appealing financial package to the 35-year-old as manager Phil Parkinson seeks to strengthen his squad following their recent promotion to the Championship. However, this could spell trouble for club captain McClean, who currently holds the left wing-back position. Cresswell made his final appearance for West Ham on Sunday, coming on as a late substitute during their 3-1 Premier League win over Ipswich at Portman Road. His exit from the Hammers was confirmed earlier this month after an eleven-year stint with the club. Cresswell has clocked up 369 appearances for the east London side since transferring from Ipswich for £3.75million in July 2014. Article continues below Having been part of the victorious Europa Conference League team in 2023 and with three England caps under his belt, Cresswell expressed a deep sense of appreciation for his tenure at West Ham following Sunday's victory. Wrexham are said to be interested in Aaron Cresswell following his departure from West Ham (Image:) Cresswell reflected on his poignant farewell, saying: "It was special. I was sweating a little bit towards the end about whether I was going to get on or not, but the reception I got will live with me until the day I die. "Every time I've worn this jersey, I'd like to think I've worn it with pride and tried to represent the club in the right way. I'm reflecting certainly over the last two weeks, and I'm just grateful for the whole journey, and we've been through so many lows and had some unbelievable highs. "I've said it a lot this week. These moments I'll cherish for the rest of my life. And I'll never forget these boys; the special group we've had, especially over the last four, five, or six years, has been incredible."

Jarrod Bowen, who found the net in Suffolk, seized the moment to praise his colleague on his departure. He said: "He [Cresswell] has been a credit to himself. I was asked a couple of questions before the game and even last week, and since the news came out that he was leaving." "You wouldn't have known, and I think that's a credit to Cress himself, the way that he applies himself every single day in training, and he's such a big character at this club and will be remembered forever. "We go to Manchester United away, and he puts in a man of the match performance there, and then against Nottingham Forest as well, he comes out with another strong performance. And I think, for me, that's one of the biggest things that Cress can look at himself and wear with pride. Article continues below "Today he got the moment that I think he thoroughly deserved, against the club that we signed him from and finishing in front of our fans that he's also played in front of for 11 years. For me, it's been a pleasure to be in the dressing room with Cress and to be a teammate and a friend as well."

Second England star linked with Wrexham transfer as James McClean left sweating
Hollywood-owned Wrexham have been linked with an ambitious bid to sign a Premier League star which could potentially spell bad news for club captain James McClean Wrexham have been linked with a move for a second England international in a deal which could leave captain James McClean sweating.

According to ReluctantNicko via Patreon, both Wrexham and Leeds are chasing the left-back's signature ahead of his contract expiring next month.
