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.

William H's insight:
Some crazy stuff is going down in the European theatre. The fact that drones are a common sighting with no knowledge of whose they belong to is rather concerning. The article suggests building a drone wall but explains that this also may not be the solution. It questions whether we should "aim for the archer, not the arrows." This alludes to the possibility of war and it is at least something to flag. I pray for the coming years and that America would know how to intercede and the discretion and discernment following all of these happenings.

I don't know how I feel about the idea of drones flying around delivering packages. I feel like a lot could go wrong. First off, the usage of drones as a way to deliver packages may take jobs away from people when the job market is already not doing so well. I also worry about the drones colliding with birds.

From the what-you-can-do-with-it department: Researchers fly drone into Dante's inferno, and its 'return home' autonomous function save its bacon.
I'm sharing this for its coolness factor. I'm also sharing it as a concrete example of how drone allow researchers to extend their reach a little more. Sure, these operators appear not to be researchers. They're more like videographers. But the story is still suggestive.
Think of what could be done with a unit that's hardened against heat and that has additional sensors. Also think about how those crashing waves of lava make planning the unit's semi-autonomous flight an important and serious issues. Fly too low over the caldera, and any flier would get brought down.
(I wonder if there are EM dynamics over the caldera that would disrupt spectrum, making it difficult or impossible to remotely control the RPV...)
