One of my few impressions of the trip to Timmendorfer Strand today, and just to remind those running "water" companies in englandshire: this is what coastal waters should look like, clear and clean.

Group warns of potentially polluted water identified at #MaineBeaches
Maine Public | By Caty DuDevoir
Published July 11, 2023 at 2:39 PM EDT"Thirty-six beaches in Maine were considered potentially unsafe for swimming on at least one day of #bacteria testing in 2022, according to a recent report.
"Sewage overflows and runoff pollution contaminated the waters surrounding multiple popular swimming spots such as #GoochsBeach in #Kennebunkport and #FerryBeach in #Scarborough.
"John Rumpler is the clean water director at the Environment Maine Research & Policy Center who co-authored the report.
"When we pave over everything with #ParkingLots, #StripMalls and big #roadways, that water has nowhere to go, so it sweeps up all the #pollution on the surface and pulls it right into nearby #rivers, #streams, and #coastalwaters, or overwhelms our combined sewage systems,' Rumpler says.
"Rumpler says that preserving the state's #wetlands can restore and expand the land's natural capacity to absorb rain water, and continuing to repair #sewage #infrastructure across the state is a step in the right direction.
"With the heavy precipitation these last few weeks, Rumpler is worried that pollution levels may be higher.
"Beach water quality updates can be found on the Maine Department of Environmental Protection website."

#Oyster fight: The humble sea creature could hold the key to #restoring #CoastalWaters . #Developers hate it. Revitalizing #oyster farms and wild oyster #reefs could undo decades of #environmental #destruction on our coasts. The story of oyster #aquaculture in the #Delaware Inland Bays—about 32 square miles of water draining into the #AtlanticOcean that make up a 320-square-mile watershed—is an object lesson for the rest of the world. https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/10/1081208/oyster-fight-the-humble-sea-creature-could-hold-the-key-to-restoring-coastal-waters-developers-hate-it/

"While the high seas make up more than 60% of the world's oceans, they have long drawn far less attention than coastal waters. The UN wants to protect them in a global treaty. Here's why that's so important."

The Public Trust Doctrine from the Good Law Project:
"Our Legal director, Emma, explains how an ancient legal principle, the Public Trust Doctrine, could be used to stop the destruction of rivers and coastal waters by water companies."
We're trying to force the Government to act now to stop the pollution of UK waters. Visit our Crowdjustice for more info or to donate."
