My husband built this railing from broom sticks so that our 16 months son could learn to get up and down stairs on his own.
I would love to hear what you think. Thanks!
Workers operating under the H-2B visa program pick crabs at Russell Hall Seafood in Fishing Creek, Md., on June 15, 2020. Russell Hall is one of only two out of the five picking houses on Hoopers Island that were awarded visas for workers this year. Mark Phillips, son of Russell Hall owner Harry Phillips, says “it doesn’t just hurt his business, but the whole community,” as watermen have fewer places to offload their catch. “We’ve had job fairs everywhere, Baltimore to Washington, [but] people just aren’t going to do it,” Phillips said. “If I had to run this business and rely on Americans, I’d sell it today.” (Photo by Carlin Stiehl/Chesapeake Bay Program)

雪山山脈以廣闊巍峨的雪山地壘為中心，主脊呈現東北—西南向走勢，總長度約180公里，從地形圖上來看，雪山山脈以幅射狀的稜脈從南北兩端伸出，各自發展成曲折綿延的巨大山嶺。複雜的地層加上河川的侵蝕切割作用，造就了雪山地壘現今多變的景觀與紛歧的支稜，
昔日登山界有所謂的『雪山六路』，就是以雪山為首的六條主要百岳登山路線，依據登山行程的安排分別為『雪山聖稜線』、『武稜四秀線』、『志佳陽大山線』、『雪山主東線』、『大雪線』、『大劍線』等，再加上大甲溪南岸的白姑大山，合計百岳共20座。 攝影／林軍佐
The James River is seen in downtown Richmond, Va., on Aug. 13, 2019. Like many cities on the eastern seaboard, Richmond was established along the fall line, the area of geological transition between coastal plain and Piedmont, where rivers often have a steeper gradient and become too rocky for large vessels. Cities like Richmond became the terminus for ships carrying goods as far as they could upstream. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

A typical deforested area where climatic conditions, together with overgrazing, have prevented natural regeneration and have led to significant soil degradation.

Although coastal ecosystems are already among the most valuable on the planet, the current estimates of the economic value for some of the oceans blue carbon sinks are surprisingly low. How should human perception of these important ecosystems change as we learn of the vast benefits of maintaining healthy coasts and oceans.

"Natural" stream.
Notes:
Harder to define. Maybe need several examples. Many types of streams depending on many factors such as slope, ground, soil, climate, riparian vegetation, surrounding vegetation, saltiness, tides, etc... (see Rosgen stream classification)
However healthy streams have the characteristics that they find the lowest energy state that balances the flow and the sediment load (silt to boulders) against the slope and stream discharge (Lane's scale).
This takes time to establish and is fluid (no pun). Rivers will always work to reattain this low energy state in response to changes. In natural state rivers meander around and require this area to relieve pressure due to heavy precipitation, spring melts droughts and other factors.
Confining rivers with too much engineering changes the character of the river in ways that may alter the rivers discharge and flow causing it to readjust. This fast flows in places may cause erosion, channelization. Disrupted flows will facilitate sedimentation and shallows in other places. Both conditions require heavier and heavier engineering to control.
Perhaps leaving rivers a wider unsettled area to allow natural flooding and meandering would be beneficial. The costs of engineering to protect infrastructure, especially a few private homes is especially high. The decreased need to build and monitor levies and other control structures would certainly offset the losses due to tax losses from this land. Property rights is a big issues - perhaps as much of rivers' ~ 500 year flood plains (maybe ~1000 if considering climate change) should be bought out over time and put into national trusts or turned into national parks.
Dutch Gap Conservation Area is seen in Chesterfield County, Va., on Aug. 12, 2019. The area protects 810 acres of woods, wetlands and wildlife bordering the James River, and in 2017 a boardwalk for hiking and viewing, as well as a paddle craft launch were installed. The Audubon Society names Dutch Gap one of the top birding sites in Virginia. Home to a large heron rookery, it attracts bald eagles and other hard-to-find species.
