These Are The Best Bike Paths in National Parks
Photo: Grant Ordelheide Most national parks don’t allow bikes on dirt trails, whether or not they’re e-bikes, but that doesn’t mean biking is off limits. Many national parks have designated multi-use paths, some paved and some gravel, that offer a scenic way to explore without having to go deep into the backcountry or stick to the roads. These car-free paths provide a safe and fun way for everyone to get out on two wheels, whether you’re looking for some serious miles at Grand Teton […]https://onlinemarketingscoops.com/2026/08/18/these-are-the-best-bike-paths-in-national-parks/

As #EastAfrica’s oceans change, coastal women build new livelihoods
By ALLAN OLINGO, July 5, 2026 at 10:36 pm
MALINDI, #Kenya (AP) — "The unfinished restaurant is still little more than concrete walls and wooden beams. As her daughter sweeps away the last piles of sand, 54-year-old Nuru Mohammed directs women hanging fishing nets to serve as decor. In a few days, the beachside restaurant on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast will open, offering another way to earn a living.
" 'For us women, this is hope,' says Mohammed, who, for most of her life, was one of the few fisherwomen in Malindi, a town northeast of the port city of #Mombasa. 'It will help support many families that have depended on the ocean for decades.'
"Across East Africa’s coast, fisherfolk are increasingly turning to tourism, #EcosystemRestoration and other conservation-based businesses, reinventing their relationship with the sea as #ClimateChange, #overfishing and declining ocean health threaten their livelihoods.
"In Kenya, women are turning restored #MangroveForests into sources of income through #beekeeping and #ecotourism. In #Tanzania’s #Zanzibar archipelago, fishing communities are protecting #CoralReefs through locally managed closures. In #Mozambique, #SeaGrassRestoration is creating jobs while reviving marine habitats. Together, these efforts are redefining resilience, not as leaving the ocean behind, but as restoring it while building enduring livelihoods.
" 'Communities that depend on the ocean are also its best stewards,' said Andreane Martel, project director for a conservation program dubbed #ReSea. 'When local people, especially women, lead conservation, they protect #biodiversity while creating more resilient and inclusive livelihoods.' "

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐇🐗 Researchers at #Fukushima University documented how unregulated tourist feeding on #Okunoshima Island allowed rabbit populations to exceed natural carrying capacity.
The overgrazing stripped local vegetation while tourist #foodwaste attracted wild #boars that began scavenging carcasses and hunting live #rabbits.

North Carolina Wreck Diving: The Bruse Reeb
North Carolina is often called the Graveyard of the Atlantic, home to hundreds of shipwrecks scattered along its coast. While the famous wrecks like the U-352 and the Spar get most of the attention, some of the most memorable dives come from the lesser-known sites hidden offshore.
https://youtu.be/wu43_h92tZA?si=uVu-PeLl8Nb3fNWb&t=581
On a recent trip with Gotham Divers, aboard Atlantis Charters out of Beaufort, NC, we headed out to a site nicknamed the Wreck of the Bruse Reeb – Bow Section. It’s not one of the marquee wrecks you’ll see in guidebooks, but that’s exactly what made the dive so interesting—quiet, atmospheric, and full of life.
Exploring the Wreckage
The bow section of the Bruse Reeb lies scattered across the seafloor, its remnants slowly being reclaimed by the ocean. Rusting beams and plates provide structure for schools of fish that weave through the wreckage. Though modest in scale compared to other North Carolina wrecks, it offered plenty of details to notice and film, making the dive feel like a mix of history and marine life.
Crossing Paths with Another Diver
Also on board that day was Squalus Marine Divers, who was filming the dive for his own channel. Around the 10-minute mark of his video, he was capturing footage of a perfectly camouflaged summer flounder when I drifted into the frame. Flounders are masters of disguise. You usually won’t notice them until they shift or flick their fins. It was a fun, unscripted moment to have both of us filming the same fish from different angles.
Why North Carolina Diving Stands Out
This dive was a reminder of what makes North Carolina wreck diving so special. Beyond the well-known sites, there are countless smaller wrecks scattered offshore, each with its own atmosphere and ecosystem. From Beaufort to Morehead City, operators like Atlantis Charters make these sites accessible, giving divers the chance to experience both the legends and the hidden gems of the Graveyard of the Atlantic.
To get a closer look at the wreck and the marine life around it, check out the full dive video from Squalus Marine Divers above. About ten minutes in, you’ll spot the moment when we both film the same summer flounder. This is one of those small, unscripted underwater encounters. Such experiences make dives like this so memorable.

While I am at it: The #organictraveller's #travelnotes on #Kerala are hopelessly outdated, help (and #boosts) very much appreciated!
If you are in #Kochi / #Cochin, #Trivandrum / #Thiruvananthapuram and around I'd be grateful to hear whether places listed in the https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-kerala articles are still operating (in the described way).
I'm also keen to hear about newer places offering #organic #fairly traded/produced #food and goods!
