Ukraine has hit an oil refinery deep inside Russian territory, reportedly 1,550 kilometres from the border, using cheap drones built with 3D printers and fishing line rather than expensive military hardware. Commenters are highlighting how low-cost, garage-built technology is allowing Ukraine to strike strategic targets far behind the front line and outpace Russia's defences.
- 4Europe's marine heatwaves put fisheries under strain●How Europe’s intensifying marine heatwaves threaten its fisheries
Europe is experiencing increasingly intense marine heatwaves, and Reuters reports on the growing threat they pose to the continent's fisheries.

- 7Why marine protected areas alone won't save the ocean▼30x30: Why declaring marine protected areas is not enough
The 30x30 goal—protecting 30% of the world's land and ocean by 2030—is under scrutiny as experts argue that simply designating marine protected areas does not guarantee effective conservation. Commentators highlight that many existing reserves lack enforcement, funding and management, allowing damaging activities such as illegal fishing to continue, and call for genuine implementation rather than paper parks.

Norway has designated its largest marine protected area, covering 1,848 square kilometres of coral reefs, sponge gardens and fish nurseries. The move lifts formally protected waters from 4.8% to 6% of Norwegian territory. Discussion has focused on reports that the government drew the boundary around its salmon farms rather than through them, raising questions about how much industrial activity the new protections actually restrict.

- 14Bottom Trawling and Deep-Sea Mining Share the Same Threat●What makes bottom trawling and proposed deep-sea mining twin horrors is that same fundamental mechanism: taking ecosyste
An argument gaining traction holds that bottom trawling and proposed deep-sea mining are 'twin horrors' because both exploit ecosystems that operate on geological timescales. Corals grow millimeters a year and ocean currents take centuries to settle sediment, so habitats destroyed by these activities may never recover on human timescales. The comparison is being used to press for stronger protection of the ocean floor before deep-sea mining moves forward.
