  7. Gothamist: The river otter makes its first appearance in 100 years along the Bronx River. “Local scientist R.J. Hawkins caught the long, muscular otter on a motion-activated camera fixed on the river on June 23. The Bronx Zoo, which oversees a long-term camera trap monitoring program for wildlife along the Bronx River, confirmed the sighting. This is the species’ first documented appearance […]

  8. Went to the Hampstead mixed swimming pond this morning as the ladies’ pond is closed due to an overgrowth of blue-green algae. Several unsightly geezers to steer around, but otherwise perfectly good. The air is getting cooler… not quite sure I have the grit for colder weather outdoor swimming. #london #swimming #fitness #waterways #outdoors

  9. There will be a high-pitched, continuous hum on NSW ocean beaches from shark surveillance drones

    * "Shark-spotting drones will provide year-round coverage at about 70 beaches along the NSW coast as part of an expanded surveillance program announced after a Sydney mother was attacked by a suspected white shark."

    "The state government on Sunday announced it would allocate an additional $34 million for shark-spotting drones, providing coverage at every ocean beach from Palm Beach to Cronulla 365 days of the year."

    "About 70 beaches across the state will have year-round drone surveillance, with all Sydney beaches covered from July 1.It will also trial artificial intelligence to improve shark detection." >>

  14. 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.' >>

  15. #Cities with extensive #waterways can exhibit higher levels of #urban #biodiversity; however, modified and slow-flowing #rivers and #canals can also release #methane and #carbon #dioxide, which support #globalwarming. Their importance as #flightcorridors for the urban #dispersal of #flying #animalspecies should not be overlooked. Pictured here: the #Spree River in #Berlin.

  17. #PlasticPatrol: the #CitizenScientists tackling #litter in #Australian #waterways

    #Plastics make up the majority of litter across the country. In the absence of regulation, the public are taking matters into their own hands

    by James Norman, Fri 30 Jan 2026

    "Neil Blake weighs a paper bag of fake grass fragments he has collected from a stormwater gutter near #DarebinCreek in #Melbourne’s north.

    "Over the past three years Blake has conducted 56 collections of synthetic turf in the waterway alongside the KP Hardiman Reserve hockey pitch.

    " 'I noticed that a local hockey pitch was being replaced and the plastic surface was running off into the local environment,' he says. Strong northerly winds and #LeafBlowers had helped shed the turf fragments into the local #environment.

    "In addition to impacts on #AquaticEcosystems, scientific analysis suggests #PlasticPollution is exacerbating #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss and #OceanAcidification.

    "Australians produce more than 3m tonnes of plastic waste each year, and according to Clean Up’s annual survey of parks, beaches, creeks and other public spaces, plastics make up more than 80% of litter across the country. A review by the New South Wales chief scientist found that one #SyntheticTurf field could transport between 10kg and 100kg of plastic fragments into the #stormwater system or local waterways.

    "Blake has taken advantage of the electronic scales provided by the newly opened community science laboratory in the Port Phillip #EcoCentre in #StKilda, to quantify his samples to present to the local council and the Environment Protection Authority. The lab hosts facilities including microscopes, measuring equipment, safety gear and access to advice from trained scientists.

    "It’s one example of citizen scientists tackling the growing problem of plastics in #waterways, including #beaches, #rivers and dive sites around the country."

  18. 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."
