Floating Bladderwort (Utricularia inflata Walter) - Blue Heron Water Reclamation Facility and Wetland Area, 4800 Deep Marsh Road, Titusville, Florida
On my first trip around the loop I didn't see any of these, but on the second loop, it seemed like someone flipped a switch and they were everywhere!

The Float collection sports modern geometric lines, making it a neat update bedroom set. The base of the bed is recessed and therefore not visible to your average viewpoint, giving the impression that the elements are actually floating. An elegant contemporary choice, the Float collection offers a range of complements such as chest of drawers, choices of night tables and much more.
I'm living the bachelor dream, me. Tonight I finally tried a pie floater. The verdict? It's pretty good, but I'd like to try one with actual pea soup (as opposed to the tinned pea and ham soup I used).

The giant floater is a species of freshwater bivalve mollusk with a smooth, yellow shell that is about 5-6 inches wide. As the mussel grows in age, it becomes a dark green/brown and each year rings are formed on their shell from the new colorization. The giant floater is native to the United States and can be found in rivers, streams, and permanent pools along the eastern regions of the U.S. Like most mussels, the floater likes to spend most of its adult life in soft sediment, silt, or sand. During breeding season, the males release their sperm into the water, where the female filters it and fertilize her eggs. Once the eggs have grown into glochidia, the female releases them into the water and they must find a host fish to transport them to a new location. The host fish of the giant floaters include carp, bullheads, golden shiners, centrarchids, and yellow perch. The larvae attach to the gills of the host fish and feed off their blood and organic matter that filters through the gills.
Due to the fact that mussels cannot move easily and rely on a host to transfer them to a new location, it can be very hard to rebuild an area that has lost a large number of mussels. Mussels can anchor themselves to the stream beds which minimizes the effects of floods and other water mechanisms. Known as “nature’s vacuums,” mussels are important to ecosystems as they work to clean the water. Without them, fresh waters would be dirty and warmer, which would result in a uncontrollable growth of algae and reduced numbers of aquatic species. The giant floater mussels have declined in recent years due to loss of habitat and pollution to their sediment soil. Since adult mussels feed from the sediment, when the soils are polluted, the species consumes those chemicals at a high rate and it can be fatal. Damming, dredging, invasive species, toxic runoff—it has all taken a toll on the lowly mussel. Across the United States, despite protection for at least 70 mussels under the Endangered Species Act, many species have not been seen for years. Another 180 species are identified as imperiled or vulnerable, making freshwater mussels one of the most endangered groups of animals in North America. The environmental group the Defenders of wildlife are actively working to save mussels in North America.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

A polyethylene float is constructed in Washington State before being shipped to Wrangell, AK, in three pieces. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project being undertaken here will replace an old and failing float that supports housing for Forest Service employees at the Anan Creek Wildlife Observatory, where thousands of visitors come each summer to see both Black and Brown bears feed on Salmon.

Glass floats have been used since at least the 1840s in Europe. These floats were used in oceans to keep large scale fishing nets from sinking. By the 1940s glass had mostly replaced wood or cork floats in North America. Glass floats varied in size and shape depending on what type of fishing they were being used for. They also varied in terms of color but were often a pale green or blue-green because they were usually made at least in part from recycled bottles. Glass floats have now largely been replaced by those made of aluminum, Styrofoam, or plastic.
