A multi-stressor scenario for the ocean and waterway ecosystems:
* The ocean is 'cooked' by the combustion of fossil fuels.
* Add a generous heap of 'nutrient-rich' floodwaters (runoff) from farms and suburbia.
* Get a harmful algal bloom (HAB) disaster, killing bio-diverse marine life and threatening the hip pocket nerve of coastal dwellers."A survey found that Australians remained far more concerned about disasters such as bushfires and flooding than they did HABs, despite 22 million people living with seven kilometres of the coastline and climate change modelling predicting more frequent and severe blooms."
"The study also found Australians had a "relatively low prioritisation of disasters — and HABs in particular — when compared with everyday socio-economic concerns"...Cost of living and healthcare dominated respondents' concerns in Australia, while environmental and climate change-related risks were perceived as less pressing.' >>

So, I saw a piece on the local news today about #SeaLevelRise and #PFAS in #BrunswickME. Unfortunately, I'm not finding the link yet, but the gist was, if the sea level rises, all the PFAS pollution in the area will spread. Big time...!
Report warns Maine’s largest PFAS spill could affect water and ecosystems for years
by Everett Sloane, 3/29/2026
"A scientific analysis of the largest PFAS contamination event in Maine’s history warns that the effects of a massive firefighting foam spill at #BrunswickExecutiveAirport could persist in local #waterways and #ecosystems for years. The release, which sent approximately 1,450 gallons of aqueous film-forming foam concentrate into streams feeding the #AndroscogginRiver, has already triggered fish consumption advisories and a federal enforcement order. Yet the full scope of long-term #ecological damage remains difficult to measure, in part because the spill site sits on land already contaminated by decades of military use."

The smoke from #Canada’s #wildfires may be even more #toxic than usual
A legacy of #mining means that #ToxicMetals could be carried along plumes of smoke.
by Matt Simon, June 5, 2025
"More than 200 wildfires are blazing across central and western Canada, half of which are out of control because they’re so hard for crews to access, forcing 27,000 people to evacuate. Even those nowhere near the wildfires are suffering as smoke swirls around Canada and wafts south, creating hazardous air quality all over the midwestern and eastern parts of the United States. The smoke is even reaching Europe.
"As the climate changes, the far north is drying and warming, which means wildfires are getting bigger and more intense. The area burned in Canada is now the second largest on record for this time of year, trailing behind the brutal wildfire season of 2023. That year, the amount of #carbon blazed into the atmosphere was about three times the country’s #FossilFuel emissions. And the more carbon that’s emitted from wildfires — in Canada and elsewhere — the faster the #PlanetaryWarming, and the worse the fires.
" 'There’s obviously the #ClimateFeedback concern,' said Mike Waddington, an environmental scientist at McMaster University in Ontario who studies Canada’s forests. 'But increasingly we’re also concerned about the smoke.'
"That’s because there’s much more to wildfire smoke than charred sticks and leaves, especially where these blazes are burning in Canada. The country’s #forests have long been #mined, operations that loaded #soils and #waterways with #ToxicMetals like #lead and #mercury, especially before clean-air standards kicked in 50 years ago. Now everyone downwind of these wildfires may have to contend with that legacy and those pollutants, in addition to all the other nasties inherent in #WildfireSmoke, which are known to exacerbate respiratory and cardiac problems.
" 'You have there the burning of these organic soils resulting in a lot of carbon and a lot of #ParticulateMatter,' said Waddington. 'Now you have this triple whammy, where you have the metals #remobilized in addition to that.'
"What exactly is lurking in the smoke from Canadian wildfires will require further testing by scientists. But an area of particular concern is around the mining city of #FlinFlon, in #ManitobaCanada, which is known to have elevated levels of toxic metals in the landscape, said Colin McCarter, an environmental scientist who studies pollutants at Ontario’s #NipissingUniversity. Flin Flon’s 5,000 residents have been evacuated as a wildfire approaches, though so far no structures have been destroyed.
"But a fire doesn’t need to directly burn mining operations to mobilize toxicants. For example, in #Yellowknife, in Canada’s #NorthwestTerritories, #GoldMining operations between 1934 and 2004 spread #arsenic as far as 18 miles away, adding to a landscape with an already high concentration of naturally occurring arsenic. In a paper published last year, Waddington and McCarter estimated that between 1972 and 2023, wildfires around Yellowknife fired up to 840,000 pounds of arsenic into the atmosphere. Arsenic is a known carcinogen associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and developmental problems, according to the World Health Organization. (After the 2023 #LahainaFire in Maui, officials reported elevated levels of arsenic, lead, and other toxic substances in ash samples. California officials also found lots of lead in smoke from 2018’s #CampFire.)"

#Backroads on #DididahtTerritory.
This is part of the #SanJuanRiver & forests in the valley. The #watershed area is under ongoing #ecological threats by industrial #clearcut #logging. This is near #CarmannahWalbran #BritishColumbia provincial park.
The forests here are longtime foraging, mating & birthing grounds for the #CowichanValley Roosevelt elk herd. The San Juan is an important salmon bearing river. The old growth forests here are home to several #SpeciesAtRisk & #EndangeredSpecies.
There is ongoing eco activism work to try & protect more of the forests & #waterways in this #wilderness valley on Southern #VancouverIsland.#SilentSunday #monochrome #Nature #WildFirst #landscape #photography #WorldInMyEyes #VanIsle #UncededNativeLand #Cascadia #environmental #StopDeforestation #StopEcocide #BCForestryReform #forests #ProtectTheWild #WildFirst #Conservation #PacificNorthwest #PNW #SaveOurForests #TreesOverGreed #BanCorporateLobbyists #WaterIsLife #ProtectWatersheds #NatureFirst #Degrowth #ClimateChange #CarbonSinks

#PacificBlackberry aka #TrailingBlackberry - white flower. It's our only native #blackberry on island; others are invasive.
#NootkaRoses are blooming all over the island.
#GarryOak #meadows are one of our unique #ecosystems here.
