An excavator works with sand on a freshly recreated portion of Yellow Bar Hassock Marsh Island made from sand pumped from a nearby dredge on March 1 at a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers led ecosystem restoration project in Jamaica Bay in Queens, N.Y. The Corps is working with partners in the region to restore marsh islands in Jamaica Bay and is carrying this portion of the mission out by beneficially reusing sand dredged from ongoing dredging efforts to deepen the shipping lanes in the New York and New Jersey Harbor.

An Eagle's nest (She's now feeding her young) .... situated securely in the midst of a large swamp (engineered by Beavers, at least partly in order to trap fish, which the eagles also love to dine on) .... in which a cow moose is grazing on succulent water plants. Beautiful, isn't it , the way all of Nature's elements complement each other?

Sea ice is frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface. It forms in both the Arctic and the Antarctic in each hemisphere’s winter, and it retreats, but does not completely disappear, in the summer. It plays an important role for the climate and ecosystems. The extent and thickness of sea ice covering the Arctic ocean is significantly decreasing.

Goal of this FAO-led project is to adopt an integrated ecosystems approach for the management of land resources in the Kagera Basin that will generate local, national and global benefits including: restoration of degraded lands, carbon sequestration and climate change adaptation and mitigation, protection of international waters, agro-biodiversity conservation and sustainable use and improved agricultural production, leading to increased food security and improved rural livelihoods.

A fantastically rich ecosytem established just above my head height on a brick wall in a busy snicket near the shops.
Worth a quick zoom!
Healthy natural coastal ecosystems, such as mangrove forests, saltwater marshlands and seagrass meadows provide a vast array of important co-benefits to coastal communities around the world, including throughout the Arabian Peninsula. These benefits include ecosystem services such as a rich cultural heritage; the protection of shorelines from storms; erosion or sea-level rise; food from fisheries; maintenance of water quality; and landscape beauty for recreation and ecotourism. In a “Blue Carbon” context these ecosystems also store and sequester potentially vast amounts of carbon in sediments and biomass.

A breathtaking morning view, bathed in the soft hues of dawn.
[Location details: Coastal dunes, NSW, Australia]
[Technical information] Exposure - 1/15 sec at ƒ/8.0, Shutter speed - 1/15 sec, Aperture - ƒ/8.0, Focal length - 10 mm, Lens - XF10-24mmF4 R OIS WR, ISO - 3200
The delicate dance of windswept grasses against the vibrant morning sky. The soft, almost ethereal light of the early morning hour casts a magical glow over the coastal dunes, creating a truly captivating scene. The composition, focusing on the interplay of the grasses and the sky, draws the viewer into the moment.
Respecting the delicate ecosystem of this coastal dune system is paramount. Let's all work together to protect these precious natural spaces.
What's your favorite way to experience the magic of a coastal sunrise?

Stakeholders in the e-waste management ecosystem have come together to discuss the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) guidelines and regulations for e-waste management in Rwanda. The hybrid workshop was held in Kigali and online and brought together representatives from public and private entities working to advance proper e-waste handling in Rwanda.
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is an internationally accepted policy mechanism applied in e-waste management programmes under which producers are given a significant financial and/or physical responsibility for the disposal of post-consumer products.

Human Ecosystems in Sao Paulo: the Real-Time Museum of the City
Human Ecosystems is coming to Sao Paulo, at SESC Vila Mariana, from September 23rd to 28th 2014.
From September 23rd to 28th, as a parallel program of the International Meeting on Culture and New Technologies, the SESC Vila Mariana will hosts the Human Ecosystems project, by the Italian artists Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico (Art is Open Source).
Human Ecosystems is a global project which captures the real-time public conversations happening on major social networks in cities, to analyse them, to create real-time interactive visualisations, and transform them into a source of open data.

The Field Station will afford VI University marine science students the opportunity to conduct field research in Deep Bay and lab work in the lower level of the field station. Some of the students were on hand to tell us about their research and explain the unique centerpieces at each table (shown above right). Each flask held water and live shellfish from the bay and next to it was a flask with murky, algae-filled water. The students advised us to pour the ‘dirty’ water into the larger shellfish-filled flask and watch them go to work. By the end of the delectable meal the water was clear again – a creative demonstration of the important ecosystem services shellfish provide.

Krka National Park
The national park is a vast and primarily unaltered area of exceptional natural value, including one or more preserved or insignificantly altered ecosystems. The purpose of the park is primarily to serve science, culture, education and recreation, while tourism activities have also been introduced for its visitors.
Including the submerged part of the river at the mouth, the Krka River is 72.5 km long, making it the 22nd longest river in Croatia. It springs in the foothills of the Dinara mountain range, 2.5 km northeast of Knin. With its seven waterfalls and a total drop in altitude of 242 m, the Krka is a natural and karst phenomenon. The travertine waterfalls of the Krka River are the fundamental phenomenon of this river.
People seem to dig my decrepit Cadillac photos, so here's another.
I would just like to point out that this car has lichen growing on it.
