🌊 UK coastlines treated as ‘open sewers’ after one million sewage spills
Labour slammed the government for having “no respect” for the public as damning figures show the extent of sewage dumps in coastal areas

Some lichen species are particularly sensitive to salt. Because some lichens live for decades, they can be a great gauge of whether a site has faced flooding or saltwater intrusion.

“The paper—which claims to be the “first global assessment of coastal land reclamation"—looked at how human development built land in, or filled parts of, coastal zones. This includes wetlands, which play various important roles like slowing erosion (but humans can just keep building out anyway, right?), protecting areas further inland from flooding and sea level rise, and acting as habitats for myriad species.”

So let’s invest even more in these, #cities: “#Green and #recreational spaces triggered the most #positiveemotions for #city dwellers, and locations like #swimming pools, #sailing ports, #coastlines and boat ramps had tweets with high levels of joy.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-01/new-research-on-where-people-are-happiest-in-london-and-san-francisco

Salt-tolerant #mangrove forests can store #carbon and create #habitats for #animals to hunt, hide, and raise their young. These hardy #trees also protect #coastlines from #erosion, reducing wave heights by around 90%.
This #timelapse shares an effective small-scale #demonstration. Watch how those mini-mangrove trees defend the land from storm surges.

Just trying to ease myself into Sunday. Picture one is of some storm breakers put in place to try to protect Wirral coast from the storms that come in off the Irish Sea. The Mersey has its own magic, I especially like it in the winter. The light seems particularly magical. Take care and I hope you have a peaceful day.
