Green corridors cool the air and support urban ventilation. Green roofs and walls help regenerate biodiversity. Trees and woodlands absorb excess rainwater and help prevent flooding. Large parks and forests around cities improve air quality. Greater accessibility to these green spaces boosts well-being and social inclusion.

The ITU Regional Seminar for CIS & Europe was held in St. Petersburg from 6 to 8 June to discuss the latest technologies and trends in the development of modern radiocommunication ecosystems. Co-organized by ITU and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU), the seminar addressed the appropriate solutions for the sustainable use of the radio frequency spectrum as a scarce resource in enabling the development of the digital economy through mobile, transport, navigation and space systems.
Fishing production dramatically increase through the century peaking in late 1980s. At this time there were major declines in several fish populations in different areas of the world. The catch reported by governments is in some cases adjusted to correct for likely errors in data.

Then...taken in December when the monsoon had withdrawn and winter had set in....but clouds could be seen in the early mornings....one among the many peaks here.
On this voyage, the research vessel Dr Fridtjof Nansen will be conducting ecosystem surveys for 20 days along the coast of Ghana
Two FAO staff members, Fabio Carocci, Fishery data and information specialist and Peter Psomadakis, Fish Taxonomist, are on board for this journey and they will be sending pictures and blog posts to keep you up to date with the goings on board the vessel.
On 31 March, cruise participants boarded the vessel for what will be one of the last trips for this soon-to-be-retired ship. A new vessel is being built, and will be launched in 2017.
On board this trip, the crew of the Dr Fridtjof Nansen welcomed nine scientists from Ghana (five women, including the cruise leader, and four men), and the two FAO staff. The survey will return to port in Ghana on 20 April.
Ecosystem surveys will be conducted within the coastal waters of Ghana, at depths from 20 to 200 m, which will be performed in two stages:
1. The first stage will assess the demersal resources of the area, steaming from the Eastern to the Western part of the Ghanaian EEZ for the first 12 days.
2. The second stage will assess the pelagic resources, going from the Western to the Eastern part of the Ghanaian EEZ for the remainder of the journey.
Before departing on 1 April from the Port of Tema, a brief ceremony took place on board and the crew and participants welcomed a delegation from the Ministry of Fisheries of Ghana and from the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Ghana.
The Dr Fridtjof Nansen left the port that afternoon and the first trawls took place in the morning of 2 April, leaving just enough time for participants to get over their seasickness from choppy weather that left only a few of the experienced crew still standing.
Once recovered, however, the first few hours of steam-time allowed the participants to familiarize themselves with the boat and the equipment, and watch-teams were divided with morning and evening shifts.
Bright and early at 6:45am on 2 April, the first CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth) station was deployed and, soon after, the first trawl of the trip.
For the next 12 hours, six CTDs and six bottom trawls were set, leaving the participants very busy with many species to sample, sort, weigh, and measure.
Thanks to Peter, the taxonomy expert on board, all of the species were correctly identified and processed quickly before the next trawl came in.
The mood on board is one of camaraderie, and with some of us laid up with a bad case of seasickness, others have been helping to take over their shifts until they recover which speaks to their dedication and commitment to the research.
Activities will become routine over the next few days, but there is always a general air of excitement right before a trawl is brought on board and catches reveal the species diversity of the Ghanaian waters.

This photograph was taken on January 19th along a nature trail in Onslow Pines Park (Jacksonville). Along the tree trunk appears to be turkey tail mushrooms (Trametes versicolor) according to the identification website tree-guide.com. These and many other fungi are vital components of the forest ecosystem. They break down dead plant and animal matter into the primary components of soil. Without mushrooms, forests would be starved of essential nutrients and minerals. Some mushrooms form symbiotic relationships with trees by partnering with the trees root system. The mushroom weaves itself around the root and absorbs water and minerals for the tree. In return, the tree gives the mushroom nutrients.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District gave presentations to 120 third graders at Marshpoint Elementary about the Corps' Regulatory Program. Regulatory Specialist Brian Moore used an interactive floodplain model to demonstrate how wetlands absorb storm water and filter drinking water. He also explained the Corps of Engineers' role in issuing permits for developers or citizens who want to build projects on or near streams and wetlands. Regulatory Specialist Donald Hendrix showed the students a variety of animal items—snake skins, furs, deer antlers, and sharks teeth—to demonstrate the various animals and habitat within Georgia. The visit was part of a unit of study about Georgia's ecosystems, natural resources, and conservation efforts. USACE photo by George Jumara.

Spent all day on a marathon photo shoot. 15 hours Sunrise to Sunset. 15 photo locations. Shot 170 images. Hauled 25 pounds of photo gear in the car, then never switched from the 18-135 Canon zoom I use 90 percent of the time.
Drove 320 miles in the Colorado mountains with Debbie (who painted) and Poppyseed (who slept).
Light overcast, great for driving. Stay tuned for the rest of the trip over the next week or so.

KENYA, Masai Mara: In a photograph taken by Make It Kenya 04 October 2015, Carel Verhoef (left) and Andre Van Kets, co-founders of HerdTracker, prepare for a live broadcast on the Twitter application Periscope below the Oloololo Escarpment in the Mara Triangle, part of Kenya's wider Masai Mara ecosystem. During the months of July through to October, one of nature's greatest events takes place in the Mara when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and other ungulates migrate northwards from Tanzania's Serengeti in search of fresh pasture and grazing, before turning and heading south again in a journey that covers thousands of kilometres and is known as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, making it a major draw for wildlife enthusiasts and tourists from around the globe.

29-06-2006 Riberalta, Bolivia. Large pieces of primary forest are cleared for agriculture and cattle farming in the Bolivian Amazon. The cleared soil can only produce for a few years before it's axhausted and useless. The damage to the environment is longer lasting.

The Short-billed Dowitcher is a frequent breeding bird in the freshwater marshes of the Copper River Delta. The delta, which extends for 2,800 km2 is considered the largest contiguous wetlands - partly tidal flats - along the Pacific coast of North America. It is used annually by 16 million shorebirds, including the world's entire population of western sandpipers. It has a similar function as the most important spring staging area of Arctic shorebirds along the East Pacific flywaya as the European Wadden Sea has on the East-Atlantic flyway. Each year in May the Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival is held in Cordova, Alaska. The Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival provides the ideal opportunity for bird watchers to be part of this epic migration. Many activities, workshops and community events are offered throughout the festival.
