Nansen surveys contributing to improve knowledge on marine biodiversity: the case of the 2015 Myanmar Ecosystem survey
Surveys at sea offer unique tool to document marine biodiversity. At the request of the Myanmar Government, the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen undertook an ecosystem survey in the EEZ of Myanmar in 2015. In this survey seven new fish species were discovered and formally described. Among them are two new soldierfishes of the genus Ostichthys, www.oceansciencefoundation.org/josf/josf26a.pdf. Several other fish species were discovered on the same cruise, including one ray Platyrhina psomadakisi White & Last, 2016, one bathyclupeid Neobathyclupea melanoptera Prokofiev, Gon & Psomadakis, 2016, one cepolid Owstonia nudibucca Smith-Vaniz & Johnson, 2016, one pinguipedid Parapercis caudopellucida Johnson & Motomura, one triglid Lepidotrigla psolokerkos Gomon & Psomadakis, 2018 and other 11 bony and cartilaginous fish species are in the process of being described. In addition, more than 15 “taxonomically problematic” fishes collected during the cruise could only be determined to genus/family level and are presently being studied by internationally-recognized taxonomists. It is expected that at least half of these “taxonomically problematic” fish species are actually undescribed species. These discoveries show the value of surveys at sea for increasing our understanding of marine biodiversity while providing coastal states with important knowledge for sustainable management of their resources.

Leopards the Serengeti Masai Mara ecosystem.
Back in the 1960's there were over 200,000 lions in Africa. Today there are less than 15.000 a decline of approaching 90%. Of those 15.000 remaining lions, only around 2.500 are adult males - the target of lion trophy hunters.

Symbiosis & Survival: The Art of Natural Alliances
This collection explores the intricate and often surprising relationships within the animal kingdom, where cooperation is the ultimate key to survival. From the classic bond between the clownfish and the protective anemone to the subtle interaction of a rhinoceros and its avian sentinel, these images capture the essence of mutualism and biological synergy.
The series transitions through diverse ecosystems—vibrant coral reefs, sun-drenched savannahs, and lush tropical rainforests—highlighting the delicate balance between species. Each frame emphasizes the textures of nature: the rough skin of a marine iguana, the iridescent feathers of a hummingbird in mid-flight, and the translucent bodies of deep-sea inhabitants. It is a visual journey into the "silent agreements" that sustain life on Earth, rendered with a focus on dramatic lighting and cinematic realism.
These images have been generated by Artificial Intelligence.

La forêt du Day, écosystème exceptionnel à 1.500 mètres d'altitude, forêt relique d'une superficie de 3,2 km² permet aux biologistes et botanistes d'étudier les profonds changements climatiques intervenus sur le continent… quand les montagnes du Sahara et de l'Arabie étaient encore recouvertes de forêts…
Les plateaux du Day laissent apparaître une véritable forêt de genévriers, d'oliviers sauvages, de buis et d'acacias. Les arbres morts tendent leurs bras blancs tordus, torsadés et habillés de lichens gris qui s'effilent en longue chevelure le long des branches (Day - Djibouti)
The companies in this year’s class represent the ever-growing and diversifying entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our companies come from all over the country and bring unique skills, background and expertise to Boulder this summer. While individually different, they are all fueled by an unquenchable desire to improve the world by solving big problems.
This year’s class includes companies that are focused on helping brides get the dress they dream of (while staying within their budget) to enabling any child to make music to wearables that notify a loved one if you feel unsafe to helping home buyers/sellers save money and many more. These 10 companies stood out for their drive and passion to do something great and it’s a true honor and privilege to work with them.
We’re very excited to introduce the Techstars Boulder 2015 class:

Maryland Environmental Service, on behalf of the Maryland Port Administration, works with local organizations and schools to place hatchling terrapins in classrooms. The juvenile turtles from the Paul S. Sarbanes Ecosystem Restoration Project at Poplar Island live in classrooms from fall through the following spring.
Students provide all care to the terrapins. They collect growth data, observe behaviors, learn care and husbandry protocol, and research the natural history of our state reptile. Head starting allows the hatchlings to grow to the size of a 2-3 year old wild juvenile terrapin in just 6 months.
After caring for the hatchlings, students bring the terrapins back to Poplar Island where they are released to the Bay. This hands-on learning experience engages students to take action and better understand the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay.
The oysters that hang from wooden racks throughout the estero provide a three-dimensional habitat for all manner of sea life. After about 18 months in the water, this cluster of shells is covered in sea squirts, barnacles and algae, and crawling with various crustaceans.

The ‘Ecosystem-based Adaptation South’ project seeks to help the Seychelles, Nepal and Mauritania to adapt to climate change, in part by restoring natural habitats across all types of ecosystems. In the Seychelles, on-the-ground ecological restoration will rehabilitate 29 hectares of mangrove and wetland forests, thus providing natural flood barriers.

Back from another trip to the mountains, and off to the swamp in a few minutes. I'm WAY behind in processing photos since I've been outside more than inside (not complaining). As a break from plant pics, here are a couple from a hike to Catawba Falls, on the upper reaches of the Catawba River, in Pisgah National Forest near Old Fort, McDowell County, North Carolina.

A section of the Cape Fear River that would normally house animal activity is disrupted by human waste. We can see here that someone carelessly through their garbage into the water.
For me this was the definition of sin. The absolute of what we can do to destroy carelessly. There is a decent eco-system in this part of the river, but it is easily disrupted.
