Historic Bluefin Tuna Lands on Yorkshire Coast After Decades

An Atlantic bluefin tuna weighing about 338 kg was landed near Whitby, Yorkshire—the first to be landed in the area since the 1960s, with a second over-300-kg specimen following the next day. University of Exeter researchers have tagged six bluefin off Whitby, suggesting a resurgence of the species in British waters under careful fisheries management. The catches are sold to high-end markets and restaurants, reflecting ongoing demand for this premium fish.

Mysterious Pink Lights in Yorkshire Town Traced Back to 'Stranger Things'

The mysterious pink glow illuminating the skies over East Yorkshire, which some believed to be the Northern Lights or even extraterrestrial activity, has been revealed to be caused by LED lights used for growing plants. The UK's largest plant propagator, Plant Raisers, installed the pink LED lights to manipulate day-length and maximize plant growth. The lights have not been visible until now due to an energy crisis that forced the company to invest in LED lights, resulting in the pink hue. The lights have significantly reduced the firm's energy bill and improved plant quality.
