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
If you find my posts here of interest, you might also be interested in some of my other research, teaching, and updates elsewhere via my:

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.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Thursday to end public funding of National Public Radio and PBS to stop what he called "biased and partisan news coverage."

Horrifying the extent this administration is willing to go to cut out their 'enemies' who are really just people reporting the reality in a way differing from how he likes it.

PBS was educational content for many low income families. It was a pleasure to have them be a part of my Saturday morning TV growing up. How does he even determine if something is biased and partisan?

This is a super interesting article, actually. I have heard from a few people that some mystery illness took them out in January/February of 2020, they're convinced they were one of the first to get it. Of course, this would come as a major surprise, especially to those who claim it leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The world is experiencing the most intense global coral bleaching event on record, with 84 percent of reefs experiencing heat stress from warming oceans
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Since January 1, 2023, 84% of the world’s coral reefs have experienced bleaching due to unusually high ocean temperatures. This marks the fourth and most severe global bleaching event on record, surpassing the 2014–2017 event and affecting reefs in at least 82 countries and territories. The bleaching is caused by heat stress disrupting the symbiosis between coral and algae, leading to weakened corals and potential reef collapse.
Barbara Kim's comment,

Coral bleaching has been a problem but i was surprised that 84% of the worlds coral reefs have experienced bleaching! It’s scary to think we might lose reefs forever because of rising ocean temperatures
