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.

Cole Schwab's curator insight, September 16, 2022 3:09 PM
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.

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.

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

Although Florida does experience king tides, sea level rise, climate change, and thermal expansion will only make the flooding more far reaching for more inland communities. This time it seems only isolated communities were effected, but we should still prepare for more disastrous flooding in the future.

Valerie P.'s insight:
  The discovery increases our awareness of the species around us that can be critical to ecosystems without never having known their contribution prior to discovery. Although this new spider species is small, it and trapdoor spiders in general are super important part of the food web and soil / sand aeration and under-surface movement. With beaches at risk today by urbanization, erosion, sea- level rise, beach grooming, etc... species like these can also be greatly affected-- which is super important that we know about them in order to protect species at risk.

Katheryn Galvez's comment, November 17, 4:48 PM
This paper highlights the importance of protecting our coastal dune habitats since these well studied areas show that they house animals that have yet to be discovered. I wonder since this species is newly discovered would it be considered invasive or native. Lastly it is cool how new species are still being discovered. I think this really shows that we do not know everything and there is still so much to learn.

Hey Marisol! Thanks for sharing this neat article. I found it interesting how some marine species are already migrating towards the poles more and more, seeking cooler water. I didn’t realize this was happening at such an alarming rate. This article is a strong reminder that climate change is reshaping entire marine systems with implications on marine biodiversity, ecosystems, and human communities as well.

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.

Does Hurricane Melissa Show It’s Time for a Category 6 Designation? | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.scientificamerican.com - October 29, 4:00 PM
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.
