Protecting 715 acres of public land from SpaceX

This is what happens when a trillionaire-owned company starts treating public land like its own testing grounds.

@uriel.cinema is taking you straight to the frontlines in Brownsville, Texas, where @spaceX has rapidly expanded across a rare coastal ecosystem, including land that belongs to the public and is meant to be protected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

They described their first site as a “small testing facility.” But it’s become something much larger: a growing industrial footprint in a crucially important habitats for endangered ocelots, sea turtles, and migratory birds.

As if they didn’t have enough, they now want to take 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge for additional dangerous testing that is literally killing wildlife and destroying plants.

Let’s growl with mama.

Bottom trawling has been banned in an area off the Sussex Coast supporting rare chalk reef and sandstone reef ecosystems. With this new law, nearly 30% of inshore waters around Sussex are protected from trawling.

In other positive UK ocean news, a recent study found Scottish seabed ecosystems can see a dramatic rebound after receiving trawling protections. After a decade of protection, these areas had three times as much marine live and twice as many species present. Intact and undisturbed seabed ecosystems can also function as carbon sinks.
