  2. Fight to save #PugetSound #KelpBed underscores NW #habitat challenges

    July 25, 2024

    "The #WashingtonState Department of Natural Resources and the #SquaxinIslandTribe have announced a partnership to conserve the #SquaxinIsland Kelp Bed, the last major kelp bed in South Puget Sound.

    "DNR and the Squaxin Island Tribe will work to surround the kelp bed with a priority habitat zone, try to reduce #environmental stresses to improve the kelp bed’s health, and partner with #PugetSoundRestorationFund on future #restoration projects, according to a news release.

    "Since 2013, DNR and Squaxin Island staff have seen a 97% decline in the kelp bed, which holds both ecological and cultural significance. In #Oregon, the #coastline lost more than two-thirds of its canopy of #BullKelp.

    "'We recognize how important it is to protect this critical resource,' said #KrisPeters, Squaxin Island Tribe chairman, in a statement. '#Squaxins can’t do it alone; it takes us all coming together as partners. That is why this local inter-governmental agreement is so important and monumental.'

    "The Squaxin Island Kelp Bed is the first habitat DNR is prioritizing in its statewide #KelpForest and #Eelgrass Meadow Health and Conservation Plan, which state legislation directed DNR to hatch in response to the loss of bull kelp and eelgrass on the Washington coastline.

    "The plan’s goal is to conserve and restore at least 10,000 acres of kelp forest and eelgrass meadow habitat by 2040.

    "Restoration efforts will initially focus on three pilot sub-basins: South Puget Sound, the Eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca and Grays Harbor. As DNR works toward its 10,000-acre goal, it intends to explore conservation and recovery in all sub-basins, according to DNR’s website.

    "'Squaxin people have been stewarding these waters and lands for thousands of years,' Peters said in a statement. '#KelpBeds have also been stewarding these waters for thousands of years, providing nourishment and a critical ecosystem for the many plants, animals, and fish of the #SalishSea.'"

  3. "Strange odor in SW Washington definitely wasn’t from Mount St. Helens, scientists say"

    The smell was so foul that people immediately thought it was the volcano. However, the scientists traced that strange odor to a certain Max Wells. He apparently let out a fart so stinky that it was smelled for miles. Janice Wells, his wife, tears running down her cheeks from the smell, told reporters, "He had a black bean burrito just before he farted."

    PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — "The mayor of Portland, Oregon, demanded U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement leave his city after federal agents launched #TearGas at a crowd of demonstrators — including young children — outside an #ICE facility during a weekend protest that he characterized as peaceful.

    "Witnesses said agents deployed tear gas, #PepperBalls and #RubberBullets as thousands of marchers arrived at the South Waterfront facility on Saturday. Erin Hoover Barnett, a former #OregonLive reporter who joined the protest, said she was about 100 yards (90 meters) from the building when 'what looked like two guys with rocket launchers' started dousing the crowd with gas.

    " 'To be among parents frantically trying to tend to little children in strollers, people using motorized carts trying to navigate as the rest of us staggered in retreat, unsure of how to get to safety, was terrifying,' Barnett wrote in an email to OregonLive."

  10. seems interesting when #news orgs go along with the political #branding slogans which serve the interests of far-right orgs like #PeopleForPortland (& their allies in #PBA)

  16. When lawyers use AI and get caught… This case involves my good friends and local southern Oregon legends the Wisnovsky brothers. They just won big, and the opposing lawyers in this frivolous lawsuit got seriously fined and sanctioned for submitting AI briefs with hallucinated citations. Uh-huh‼️ The suit, filed by a nasty, greedy and estranged sibling was dismissed with prejudice. Always a pleasure to see justice served and cheating lawyers caught and called out by the court. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #legal #lawyers #justice

  17. Right Sizing for Reality

    #Oregon has elected some brilliant political leaders. Rep #KhanhPham is one of them. She serves on the State #Transportation Committee.

    Pham is challenging why $7.5 Billion of DOT money is going into an ill-defined mega-project rather than where our priorities must be: #PublicTransit, #Safe #Streets, connected communities and #Climate solutions.

    None of the $7.5 Billion is for #LightRail, #BikeLanes, #Walkways.
