Oysters are ecosystem engineers. They build reefs made of piles of shells and sediment! Every generation settles on the shells of their ancestors, and the shells act as "baffles", catching sediment that builds up between nooks and crannies like mortar. These reefs slow erosion and reduce storm surge. One study found that they can reduce wave height by up to 50%! This is one reason NYC has been seeding oyster reefs, to protect against the flooding that occurred during Superstorm Sandy. #clamfacts

#Opinion: #BorisJohnson is politically dead. Even if he does get through confidence vote this time, he is mortally wounded.

Labour wrapping themselves in the butcher's apron isn't a good look. At best, it just looks fake. At worst, it's trying to don the tories' mantle.
And at a time when the image of the jack is sullied beyond retrieval for a large number of progressives, not just within Cymru and Alba.
