    I wish the headline was more in line with the actual study. I’m glad at least the conclusion made it into the article:

    “The Institute of Marine Research is clear that a significant increase in production in certain fjord systems could increase the risk of eutrophication locally, but that current production is well within nature’s carrying capacity. This provides a basis for strict, site-specific management, but does not document that current operations are destroying the fjords.”

    Should be more like “fish farm growth must be strictly managed so that it doesn’t endanger the ecology of at risk fjords”

      Sounds like a partially-solid (lol) plan chance to set up some aquaculture farms and use some of that poop for plants.

      No way! The meat industry would never do that. It’s definitely the people’s fault for not recycling properly!

        It’s the flesh of a fish, which is an animal. I therefore call it meat.

          It’s kinda like how pizza is a vegetable.

          In the EU, meat has to come from domestic ungulates, poultry, lagomorphs or wild game, otherwise it’s not meat: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319971198_How_meat_is_defined_in_the_European_Union_and_in_Germany

            It’s traditional. Medieval christians defined fish as “not meat” so they could eat it during fasting (along with finding other creative workarounds, like wrapping meat in dough so the all-seeing, all-knowing entity couldn’t see them eating meat (see Herrgottsbescheißerle)

              Some of them also came up with creative definitions for “fish”, so they could have a nice roast humble fish on a Friday or during lent. (A beaver definitely is a fish, just look at it swim around in water all day, also it has a scaly tail, need any more evidence? Now shut up and eat your roast fish.)

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)
