For the first time an ecosystem survey with R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen will be conducted in the coastal area of Gabon. Identification and abundance of birds, whales, fish, phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos will be conducted in the period from 9-23 May. In addition environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, current, chlorophyll and oxygen will be measured. A reception was help onboard the vessel before the start of the cruise and the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Security, the governor of Port Gentil, and the FAO representative in Central Africa, were among the distinguished guest.

Apparently, Mono Lake is one of the oldest lakes in North America and thought to be about one million years old.
Freshwater, minerals and salts arrive in the lake via a long journey down streams that course the slopes of the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Once it all gets here, it has nowhere else to go. In this closed system, freshwater springs bubble up from the base of the lake. As that freshwater evaporates, a residue of calcium carbonate and other minerals/salts are left behind, forming columns and knobbly formations all around the lake. (Once upon a time, all these formations were under water.) The water left behind in the lake is very alkaline and 2.5 times as salty as the water in the sea, which is why the seabirds bob along at such a jaunty angle with their tails high up.
The flotation possibilities here are many and varied - if you are a bird that is!

A female Pileated Woodpecker on a drumming tree at Haines Junction, Yukon. 20 February 2016.
It's a mystery as to what route this bird would have taken to get to southwest Yukon. An incredibly rare occurrence.

North of Manzanillo, in Granma, is El Palmar, a community that has agriculture as its main activity. A little further north, crossing the Yara River, is one of the conservation areas of interest for the 'Mi Costa' project.
La Tronconera is an extensive area of mangrove that separates the sea from El Palmar's arable land.
With cooking fuels becoming scarce, people turned to the mangroves in search of firewood. The result: total deforestation and the remains of ancient trees; hence its current name: La Tronconera.
It is now vitally important to work on conservation of the site because of the diversity it presents for the region's flora and fauna.
Salinity has taken over the deteriorated soil.
Although far away, in the area closest to the sea, you can see how the mangrove forest is coming to life with birds. Human intervention is needed to accelerate the process.

Explorations of the diverse ecosystem are encouraged by the trails in the forest with over 40 different species of trees and by the garden with 22 raised beds where a taste testing is always welcome.

Benthic community living in and next to an exposed rock in Barkley Canyon. The white animals attached to the rock are sea cucumbers with their feeding tentacles extended. Also living on the rock are brittle stars. Beside the rock are two anemones and a blood star (Henrica sp.).
If you can ID anymore animals please post a comment below.

Mineral deposits in eastern Congo are at the heart of conflict and the continued unhindered transport across borders and the funds from companies based in the EU and Asia are key to the continuation of environmental crime, destruction of gorilla habitat and atrocities.

Love this photo. Should I say is an image since had to do a slight cut out?
