    #SandDune Vote:
    Some Tribal Perspectives on
    Proposed Wind Port on #Wahsumkik

    “..For both #Wabanaki people and non Wabanaki people...It has a great amount of history. It's ecologically sensitive and important to the #ecosystem of our coast...” - Darren Ranco,
    PhD, #Penobscot Citizen, Professor at the University of Maine, MITSC Commissioner, #Maine #ClimateCouncil committee member.

    April, 2024

    "Sears Island (known also by the Penobscot name Wahsumkik) is the largest #undeveloped island within the state and one of the largest on the eastern seaboard, and considered important to #BirdMigration. Construction of a wind port operation would require the destruction of 70 acres of #forest and would impact a yet to be assessed area of marine eel grass. The destruction of a sand dune was
    reportedly missed in a first assessment of the site, thus prompting the Governor's bill."

    New Climate Council report: Powderkeg: Australia primed to burn.
    prevalence of grassfires. This may be particularly evident in 2023/24 summer, and may be amplified further if an ElNino eventuates.
    Vegetation growth follows flooding events and grasslands dry out much faster.
    Is Australia prepared? Not when we are authorising gas expansion.

    A big loss to Australia.

    I've just learned that Prof Will Steffen died at the weekend. He was a giant in climate science in Australia. He also a made a huge contribution in communicating climate science to the wider public.
