Hi all, this is the last day of my AFS President’s term & last AFS tweet. Dr. Brian Murphy will be taking over. For those of you in AFS, I was honored being your President & I appreciate your support. If you like, follow my personal Twitter @Scottabonar1 Thanks & best wishes!
Enjoy fish video from my team & I. Hate to push so hard but we aquatic scientists are seeing profound effects of climate change. See 111 world aquatic scientific societies statement on climate change here #saveourfishclimatestatement. Talk about this, share your climate stories.
This week Am. Fish Soc. released a statement w/ 110 of world’s leading aquatic scientific societies urging governments and societies to curb greenhouse gas emissions now to maintain somewhat intact freshwater and marine ecosystems. #saveourfishclimatestatement. Now time to act.

With AFS meeting etc. coming up I didn’t have time to deal with this critter in backyard but it is what it is. Beautiful creature. Captured it, took way out in desert, let it go. Don’t try this at home, I had rattlesnake capture training back in the day. Sound up great rattle.
Great escape into the mountains for a few hours on Sunday. Neat finds - a bighorn sheep skull, the rare and highly endangered Nichol’s Turk’s Head cactus, and more fossils. Got my energy back for another week of computing!
Great news on “Statement of World Aquatic Scientific Societies on the Need to Take Urgent Action Against Human-Caused Climate Change” that AFS wrote in collaboration w/ other world societies. 107 societies joined statement w/ > 80,000 members. More to come...
All best wishes to our colleagues, families, friends, and others who are enduring the brutal storm coming ashore in Louisiana and Texas. Our hearts go out to you during this exceptionally tough time.
$14 power bill for our solar powered house in July in Arizona. >100F almost every day, central AC going 24hr/day, and electric car powered, all off solar. Last pic, fish across world affected by climate crisis. Increasing # of people want to do something. Reduce emissions now.

The first online @TheFSBI Annual General Meeting today. Good to see positive links with the @AmFisheriesSoc President @Scottabonar1 and Toyoji Kaneko, President of the Japanese Society of Fisheries Science. Another great years' work by the FSBI Council.
