I decided to draw a frog in da pond with da tadpoles and I used bright felt tip pens and I like using them:) #frog #tadpoles #pond #water #waterlilies #flowers #marshes #reeds #nature #animal #animals #amphibian #life #notebook #sketchbook #bright

A boat stranded in the drought-stricken, cracked up Chibayish marshes.

#FootpathFriday by the #WaddenSea. This is where we spotted the seals I posted the other day 🦭

A winding wooden boardwalk stretches over a calm body of water, leading towards a flat, green landscape under a dramatic cloudy sky. The water reflects the muted colours of the sky, with some reeds and grasses visible along its edges. In the distance, wind turbines dot the horizon, indicating an open, possibly coastal or marshy, environment. The overall impression is one of serene natural beauty with a hint of industrial presence.

The 2025 GL #MMPSurvey season is almost complete! Great Lakes Marsh Monitors should check their email inboxes. I just distributed your latest email update.

A screen capture with text: The Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program survey season is almost finished for 2025. Check out these great articles (and learn why a very young Dr. Tozer is hip deep in a marsh). Includes a photo of Doug Tozer and a photo of a Pied-billed Grebe.

Ghost forests are growing due to #sealevelrise
As trees choked by #saltwater die along low-lying coasts, #marshes may move in. Arboreal graveyards are showing up in places where the land slopes gently into the ocean and where salty water increasingly encroaches. Along the United States’ East Coast, in pockets of the West Coast, and elsewhere, saltier soils have killed hundreds of thousands of acres of trees, leaving behind woody skeletons typically surrounded by #marsh.

It was a hard and nervy kite aerial photography session - but we got one of the most fascinating lakes in Slovenia: the nearly circular Podpeč lake, a true Eye of the Marshes.

"But who will reveal to our waking ken, The forms that swim and the shapes that creep, Under the waters of sleep? And I would I could know what swimmeth below when the tide comes in...” The Marshes of Glynn by Sidney Lanier - 1878. 📷 from Library of Congress #SwampSunday #Marshes

Accurate estimation of #VegetationBiomass is a critical component for estimating #TerrestrialEcosystem #CarbonStocks, but research on biomass estimation for #Herbaceous #Marshes remains limited. Thus, Xianglong Jin et al. explored the #AllometricEquations for estimating above- and below-ground biomass of #Reed (#PhragmitesAustralis) marshes.

#WorldWaterDay: 3 stories of #resistance and #restoration from around the globe

Kristine Sabillo, 21 Mar 2025

"More than 2 billion people around the world live without access to safe drinkable water, as rivers, #groundwater, lakes and #glaciers face continued threats of #pollution and overexploitation due to #urbanization, #EnvironmentalDestruction, and #ClimateChange .

"This World Water Day, #Mongabay looks back at some of its coverage from 2024 on how local communities are trying to protect the world’s dwindling water resources."

Sometimes a kite aerial photo seems dull ... Wrong camera settings? Lack of post-processing skills? Is it the old adage - dull weather, dull photos?

Perhaps.

But, at least to us, the real question is - is there really such a thing as a "dull" kite aerial photo? 😉

Excerpt from this story from the Audubon Society:

For over 40 years, the Coastal Barrier Resources Act has been a little-known bipartisan environmental law—quietly protecting critical bird habitat, providing coastal communities with a natural buffer against storms and sea-level rise, and saving taxpayers billions of dollars, all while staying under the radar. Audubon has long been a champion of this law, and now we have reason to celebrate! Last week, President Biden signed the Bolstering Ecosystems Against Coastal Harm (BEACH) Act, updating the Coastal Barrier Resources Act and expanding its protected system of coastal areas that buffers people and birds from flooding on our coasts.

Congress passed the BEACH Act with overwhelming bipartisan support just last month, adding nearly 300,000 acres of wetlands and beaches to the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) system, codifying its largest expansion since 1990. For years, Audubon has worked with a diverse coalition of partner organizations, multiple presidential administrations, and legislators on both sides of the aisle to massively expand the CBRA system, and the sweeping success of this bill is one of our most exciting accomplishments for the coast.

Went out to go to Lighthouse but misjudged the tide and no way to get across water, so spent awhile just sitting on hillside enjoying sun, then picked a few cranberries.

Looking east in the afternoon across tidal water that is receeding as the tide goes out. Just across the water, and going almost to the horizon are golden marsh grasses. Beyond them are some of the higher dunes, with the Coast Guard house atop one. Clouds overhead extend towards the horizon but there is a band of blue near the edge.

The largest growth came from expanding #landfills, booming #livestock production, increased #coal mining & surging consumption of #NaturalGas.

The report also uncovered worrying evidence that #human disruptions have boosted the amount of #methane released by #lakes, #marshes & other ecosystems.
