Welcome to my curation site for all things coastal management-related.
Here you will find an array of stories, media, factoids, and updates on current events spanning a range of coastal and marine issues. While we are interested in a great many things, most of these entries center upon efforts to restore coastal ecosystems and improve the management of these incredibly dynamic parts of our planet.
In particular, you will find postings here that reflect a deep, continuing interest in:
- coastal riparian restoration - coastal wetland restoration - the coastal imaginary - deep sea mining - plastic pollution (especially microplastic) - subtidal reef restoration - improved Coastal Zone Managment poilcies and proceedures - coastal agriculture/food systems - sustainable fisheries management - working ports and harbors - vibrant ocean economies - marine ecology - natural history - coastal energy production - oil spills - water quality and ecotoxicology in the coastal zone - historic coastal perspectives and our relationship to our world ocean

What does an acid trip typically feel like? Each person’s experience with acid will be different. Indeed, each trip may be different. One might be very light, but others can take a frightening and overwhelming turn. Symptoms may begin to show 20 to 90 minutesTrusted Source after taking a dose. The main episode can last several hours. Acid is a long-acting drug. It stays in the body 6 to 15 hoursTrusted Source. Most acid trips won’t last more than 9 hours. The trip During this period of “tripping” or active effects, you may begin to experience sensationalized perceptions of what’s happening around you. This can include “seeing” color or “tasting” sounds. Stationary items, like furniture, may begin to “move” or swell or shrink before your eyes. Coming down Coming down from the trip will feel like you’re gradually returning to Earth. Signs may begin to lessen in intensity. You may feel tired after getting through the hours-long trip and want to sleep. Afterglow An “afterglow” is possible for several hours after the end of the trip, too. This may feel like everything is “lighter” or “brighter” than before the trip. You may also have moments of flashbacks for several hours, even days, after the acid trip is over. Microdosing A microdose is a small dose of a psychedelic drug like LSD, often one-tenth of a normal dose. It’s sometimes used to help treat symptoms of anxiety and depression, but it’s not meant to completely encompass your day. However, little is known about the long-term effects of this practice.

This article goes over how nature can help us achieve our goal set forth by the paris climate agreement, which is to limit global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees celcius. If we are smart and careful we can use nature as our ally to help fight climate change. However if we are not so smart nature could hinder our fight with rising global temperatures and contribute ultimately to natures desctruction.

Looks like a good opportunity for a GIS map... to show the layers and toxicity levels/strengths. Then overlap that with types of housing. Seems common for cities to plan out their towns with rentals and apartments to be the closest to any hazards. Wonder what mitigation strategies they'll end up going with.

The news story details the unfortunate death of a 71-year-old man from flash flooding that pushed his car over a bridge and into the creek. With 3-5 inches falling across multiple Southern California cities, the reporter highlights a real concern for more accidents as mudslides exacerbated by the Eaton and Palisades fires, debris flows, rockslides, and hazardous road conditions. Coastal counties like LA County will be ones to watch.

Super relevant topic, especially since we covered in it class recently! :O The change is helpful for people looking for or wanting to build new housing, but as we know, infrastructure near and directly on beaches and coastlines are not only vulnerable to erosion and flooding. but they also harm the beach and erode it in exchange as well. Overall, the change is kind of a huge bummer for the beach ecosystem.

Hurricane Melissa’s powerful winds and drenching rains devastated Jamaica. But is its wrath a sign that we need a new designation for monster storms?
David N. Folino's insight:
Hurricane Melissa shows that storms are getting stronger than the current scale can describe, and climate change is pushing them beyond old limits. Some scientists want a Category 6, others say it oversimplifies risk. The clear takeaway is that future storms will be more intense, so planning and design need to account for higher wind and rainfall extremes.

It is exciting to see that even amidst multiple efforts to slow or stop conservation, these efforts are still persevering. With the 300-acre area now being managed by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, it will be interesting to see how the land changes over time. It’s also encouraging to see so many agencies and organizations working together to acquire and protect this important ecosystem.

Award-winning Reef of Hope uses 3D-printed biodegradable design to advance oyster reef restoration and revive marine ecosystems.
John Burns's insight:
He decided to start working on helping the oyster populations with science after a tasting class that describe the destruction from humans on oyster populations. I think he has a great idea. To help rebuild the population he is creating structures for oysters to live on. The structure is made from a biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) material blended with seashell calcium carbonate, marine-safe minerals and bioactive coatings that also promote oyster settlement.

I wonder if these storms will result in immediate damages since our infrastructure is not built to withstand them. It will be interesting to see the lingering effects these large storms will have on urban infrastructure both now and for the future. It is truly sad to see that these storms are becoming more frequent and stronger over time. I am worried about the effects this will have on the environment and everyday life.

How frustrating it must be for everyone that lives in proximity to those un-navigable waters/wetlands that the rues around what is an isn't cared for to change so much within a few years. I imagine that no matter what type of stakeholder you are, this constant uncertainty and the consequences of it are exhausting.

This is concerning considering the fact so many wetlands have already been lost. Wetlands help to filter water and protect against storms. This decision could increase water scarcity and exasperate the fatality of storms.

We are put between a rock and a hard place. I think it was interesting how the guest speaker expressed that as long as there is an immense demand for oil, it would be preferred to be American "made" in comparison to becoming reliant on foreign entities. However, the article explains the reason for why individuals express reservations in response to historical oil spills and the recorded impacts on everyone. It is a very unfortunate situation that we find ourselves in.

The Trump administration approved the drilling of oil off the CA coast; six drilling leases will be available from 2027 to 2030. Though it is speculated that oil and cam companies will be more interested in the leases being available in the Gulf of Mexico. This is unsurprising considering that our president had no regard for the environment and actively outspokenly speaks about how he does not care about the effects.

Valerie P.'s insight:
I found this article interesting because it discusses how the world is managing renewable energy. The article explains that fast-developing countries are having no problem shifting to renewable sources, compared to other countries that are not developing economically as fast. This shows how it is difficult to address climate change when some countries face socioeconomic problems compared to others. It explains how China has a large supply of solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries and how they are investing in the trajectory of already growing economies. The article’s bottom line is that while these countries are moving toward renewable energy sources, they still highly depend on fossil fuels. - Yaiza Delgado
