In Albania, UNEP is working with the Ministry of Tourism and Environment to improve the capacity of the Kune-Vaini lagoon ecosystem to adapt to climate change and provide vital goods and services to local communities. The project will improve the technical and institutional capacity of policy- and decision-makers in Albania to implement adaptation interventions, especially ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA). The project is also increasing the awareness among local communities of effective EbA actions.

I've just lifted what felt like a couple of tons of water lily out of the pond here. But the face is mainly because while standing in the deep part (I'm on the margin shelf here) I discovered that the waders leak. And I'm trying not to think about what is now wriggling around my bare toes.

NMFS-Sea Grant Population and Ecosystem Dynamics Fellow Challen Hyman checks on his research plots in the York River on Aug 23, 2021. Hyman’s research at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science focuses on modeling nursery habitat for young blue crabs.
Seagrass meadows are considered the main sanctuary for blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay — they provide plenty of food for growing crabs and refuge from predators. But these seagrass meadows may not be able to withstand warmer temperatures from climate change.
Hyman’s model will measure how well seagrass — and other alternative nursery habitats, like marsh grass and cloudy water — can support young blue crabs. He will measure blue crab growth, survival, and abundance in these habitats. (Photo by Aileen Devlin | Virginia Sea Grant)

Soil is highly underrated. Most of us never really give it a thought. Like the bottom of our oceans it tends to be out of sight out of mind. But healthy soil is the lifeblood of our entire food chain. As a 'supporting service', it is the foundation of our agricultural practices around the world and the food which reaches our table every day. But soil faces a range of threats such as erosion and nutrient delepletion making good soil harder to find. It stores that fashionable thing called carbon too.

This set from another family ‘opihi-picking morning: Leaving the ‘opihi-picking to the men, I went inland instead to see how the anchialine ponds were progressing at Kūki‘o: They are doing a magnificent job with their restoration.
I’d learned of anchialine ponds and their significance while I was at the Hualalai Resort: More about them in the set story.
