It seems that North Sea stocks of cod are making a welcome return to our waters (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/apr/08/north-sea-cod-stocks-bounce-back-analysis-shows). This is put down to a reduction in fishing activities in the location but it might be a bit premature to put the item back firmly on the menu. The finding goes some way to countering the argument that seals (rather than humans) were mainly responsible for the initial declines.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
