Tetra Tech, a global environmental consulting firm, rented a water quality monitoring system from us to keep an eye on the Avalon Bay dredging project. The goal was to clear out portions of New Jersey's harbors to help with shipping and recreation. A remote data logging system helped project managers keep constant watch on water quality at the sites.

An important role played by the ocean is the storage and exchange of CO2 with the atmosphere, and its diffusion toward deeper layers. At high latitudes, dense waters sink, transferring carbon to the deep ocean. Warming of the ocean surface inhibits this sinking process and therefore reduces the efficiency of CO2 transport and storage. Furthermore, as water warms up, the solubility of CO2 declines, therefore less gas can be stored in the sea water.

I took this picture of sphagnum moss at a bog in Canada (Grand Manan Island). Sphagnum grows luxuriantly in many bogs, and a special adaptation in the leaf cells allows it to retain buoyancy in the watery environment. Each leaf cell is hollow, so that it fills with water and pockets of air, allowing it to float.

World Environment Day (WED) is a day that stimulates awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and public action. It is on 5 June. It was the day that United Nations Conference on the Human Environment began.
The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment was from 5-16 June 1972. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. The first World Environment Day was on 1973. World Environment Day is hosted every year by a different city with a different theme and is commemorated with an international exposition in the week of 5 June. World Environment Day is in summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Marine turtles have been used for eggs, meat, shell, oil, leather or other products for 7000 years. Modern times have introduced another way for society to profit from these species - to generate economic income as a tourism attraction. Sound turtle management relies on local communities, which – as economic incentive - should receive a fair share of the revenues. In many cases, the bulk of the revenues from the local level end up elsewhere, even outside the country – through international tour operators, for instance. Nearly half of the gross revenue from tourism expenditure in Costa Rica remains outside the country. Potential tortoiseshell exports from Cuba to Japan, would add up to 70% of revenue within the importing country.

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) consists of 15 countries, with 233 million inhabitants. Apart from Mauritius and the countries around South Africa in the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), the remaining countries exhibit low rates of electricity access and use of high quality fuels. Easy access to electricity and power increases the living standard and enables the development of additional services.

Dr. Jaime Prohens (Spain; left), with Dr. Hemal Fonseka (Sri Lanka; middle) and Dr. Auguste Kouassi (Cote d’Ivoire; right) exchange seeds that “allows the complementarity of environments in order to obtain a maximum of seed combinations”, says Prohens. “Sometimes hybrid or backcross seed for particular combinations are obtained in one country but not in the others.”
