Marine heatwaves can jam the ocean’s natural carbon conveyor belt, preventing carbon from reaching the deep sea. Researchers studying two major heatwaves in the Gulf of Alaska found that plankton shifts caused carbon to build up near the surface instead of sinking. This disrupted the ocean’s ability to store carbon for millennia and intensified climate feedbacks. The study highlights the urgent need for continuous, collaborative ocean observation.

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.

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.

"A new species of trapdoor spider was discovered in California's coastal sand dunes, showing a new discovery right at the beach doorstep..."
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.

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 decline of salmon has been a pretty big concern for the species,.. while the building of a dam only causes more environmental interference to other species, perhaps this could help salmon populations get back to stable levels? Once can hope, but time will tell.

Beneath the ice of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea, scientists discovered a vast, organized city of fish nests revealed after the colossal A68 iceberg broke away. Using robotic explorers, they found over a thousand circular nests forming geometric patterns, each guarded by yellowfin noties. The expedition, initially aimed at studying the ice shelf and locating Shackleton’s Endurance, instead unveiled a thriving, structured ecosystem in one of the harshest places on Earth.

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.

Could this potentially be a coastal access issue. I wouldn't expect the public to like the idea of glass sands mixed in sand. I suppose this is not an issue for a restoration area, but in the future, would the glass be removed? Perhaps weathered down? How long would that take?

Valerie P.'s insight:
The article talks about the creation of a marine sanctuary for whales and orcas, which is awesome to hear. Marine sanctuaries or MPAs are known to be extremely helpful for the species they protect, an example being shark and fish species sanctuaries, and contribute to their conservation and even marine ecotourism (such as with manta rays).

"I’m not sure if this is a good idea, considering SeaWorld has faced ongoing debate over the captivity of large marine mammals. Whales are among the largest creatures on Earth and require vast spaces to thrive. This article doesn’t provide much detail about the size, design, or welfare standards of the new whale sanctuary off the Maine coast. While I’m sure the project has both pros and cons, I still question whether keeping whales in any form of captivity can truly meet their physical and psychological needs" - Yaiza Delgado

Katheryn Galvez's comment,

It is interesting to see how much politics plays a role in deep sea mining. This article particularly mentions the U.S. and China. Both nations are providing resources in the hope that the cook islands will allow them to access their resources. In the article Professor Douglas McCauley mentions how he is worried they will disregard the environment and do whatever it takes to get their hands on the resources. I have to agree with him because unfortunately the current president cares more about money than he does the environment.
