De 7-jarige zojuist: ‘Ik heb goed nieuws en slecht nieuws.’ Ik: ‘doe eerst het slechte nieuws maar.’
‘Het slechte nieuws is: het fruit is op.’
Ik: ‘En het goede nieuws?’
‘Ik hou van je.’

From CalMatter's 2024 environmental milestones in review: Sadly, low #salmon numbers prompted a 2nd consecutive closure of the #fishing season, and a third-year cancellation is possible. But on the positive side, 2024 brought much-needed protections for White Sturgeon & Longfin Smelt -- two native fishes we've fought long & hard for! https://calmatters.org/environment/2024/12/environment-review-2024/ @CALMatters #sturgeon #longfinsmelt #smelt #cawater #californiawater #endangeredspecies #endangeredspeciesact

Vrienden, ik stel aan u voor: Guus. Zij komt kersvers uit het asiel en is hard aan het wennen. Hier wat foto's van haar unboxing.
Zij heeft hiervoor in een pleeggezin gezeten Daar heette zij Hannah. De kinderen daar hebben een hartelijk briefje voor de nieuwe eigenaar meegegeven. #smelt
Alle katten in onze familie heten Guus. Sinds mijn generatie is een familielid aangewezen om volgnummers uit te reiken. Dit is Guus 05.

Sinking in Saltwater: #Maine’s #coastal #marshes at risk as sea levels rise
Between 28 and 57 percent of the state’s coastal marshes could disappear by the end of the century, victims of a rising sea, coastal #development and #PollutedRunoff.

July 28, 2024PORTLAND — "It takes hundreds of years for a #SaltMarsh to form, for fine sediment brought in on the tides to settle in sections of shoreline sheltered from the worst of the wind and waves. As salt-tolerant plants — smooth #cordgrass, #SaltmarshHay, #saltgrass, #BlackRush — begin to grow, their dense stems and roots trap more sediment, and the marsh builds more rapidly, up and out.
"#Crabs, #shrimp and #worms arrive, drawn to the rich food of dying marsh grasses, followed by a variety of #fish — #alewives, #StripedBass, #smelt and Sea-run #BrookTrout among them — many of which eventually migrate between the marsh and the sea.

"The same dense grasses that are so good at trapping silt also excel at ensnaring pollutants, pulling out nitrogen and nutrients that cause #AlgalBlooms, and burying #toxic #contaminants in the peat.
"Once established, plants in salt marshes grow quickly, fed by the rich soil, and pull #carbon from the atmosphere. Salt marshes are ten times more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests, and, left undisturbed, can trap the gas in the ground for centuries, a phenomenon scientists refer to as 'blue carbon.'
"Maine has some of the most extensive blue carbon reservoirs in the northeast — second only to Massachusetts, according to a study published by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2023.
"But as sea levels rise and development presses in, these reservoirs, and the habitats they create, are at risk of disappearing.
"An analysis by the University of Maine suggests that a significant portion of the Maine’s salt marshes — between 28 and 57 percent, depending on the sea level rise scenario — could be gone by the end of the century. They are also threatened by polluted runoff from #pesticides, #septic systems and #AgriculturalWaste.
"'The decisions Mainers make over the next 10 years are going to determine whether these important ecosystems persist,' said Bates professor Beverly Johnson, who has been studying blue carbon for years, speaking to The #MaineClimateCouncil in December.
"Over the past 25 years, nearly 300 acres of Maine’s wetlands — both fresh and saltwater — have been impacted by or lost to development, according to a Press Herald/Maine Monitor analysis of data from the state’s In Lieu Fee Compensation Program. The program allows developers to fill or convert certain #wetlands if they pay a fee, money that is used for conservation projects elsewhere."

European smelt populations are declining throughout Germany. At the Thünen Institute of Fisheries Ecology, we have developed laboratory techniques for rearing eggs and larvae to investigate the factors that influence the early life stages of the species.

- ‘Met jou knuffelen.’

‘t Is koud buiten, maar mijn hart smelt. Net op de afsluit van het project allen samen geluisterd naar het resultaat (samen met kinderen een meeluisterverhaal maken van een leesboekje). Een jongen waarvan ooit aan de ouders gezegd was dat hij nooit behoorlijk zou kunnen lezen ( maar die dit jaar enorme sprongen gemaakt heeft dankzij zijn school!) kijkt iedere keer vol trots om naar zijn papa als hij aan de beurt komt in het verhaal. De papa zit daar met tranen in zijn ogen. #smelt
