🌞 Based Solarpunk person of the day:

P. Fanciulli, a fisherman from Tuscany, Italy, placed dozens of statues underwater to make it practically impossible to do bottom trawling (an illegal fishing practice which destroys ecosystems).

In order to stop the illegal boats, in the years he has impersonated coast guards, used sirens, barbed wire, and underwater explosions.

I cannot emphasize enough how important NOAA is and how catastrophic its gutting will be. This will ruin and end lives across the US in the short term by reducing disaster-predictive capabilities and harm the whole world in the long term through the deletion of important climate data.

It's a modern day book burning
