In case you missed it last night check out this incredible reporting by @NewsHour@HolmesRyanC@TheStephSy and @devinpinckard about the environmental crisis taking place at The Great Salt Lake. https://t.co/sn7RgieCTu
Have you noticed an increase in "jellies" while out on the Puget Sound? Working with Tribal fishers during salmon harvest revealed that Moon Jellies (Aurelia labiata) are more numerous. Researchers noticed an intensification of the blooms after the marine heat wave in 2015-2016.
While we are out on the Puget Sound Mapping Expedition we are taking the time to see what is going on under the water as well. Kelp forests are disappearing in Puget Sound but we had the opportunity to film this one under the Sound to Narrows bridge.
At EarthViews Conservation Society, we are committed to protecting and restoring these vital habitats. These photos, taken at the mouth of the Nisqually River in the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, showcases a juvenile Bald Eagle perched on a sunken tug.
The recovering Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge is supporting a robust Bald Eagle population, showcasing the success of habitat restoration efforts. However, more work needs to be done to ensure these majestic birds and other wildlife thrive.

This is one of the finest descriptions of what is occurring at the Great Salt Lake that I have read. It aligns so closely with our experience mapping the nearshore. @TempestWilliams
Last November, when Great Salt Lake reached her lowest point on record, the artist Fazal Sheikh and the writer Terry Tempest Williams set out to see what might be revealed.
The dry lake bed, now exposed to the wind, is laden with toxic elements. https://t.co/lBg35R3OKf
We know how important waterways are to environmental health but what about psychological?Time spent on rivers, coasts or lakes in childhood may be linked to subjective well-being as an adult, study finds via @psypost https://t.co/FR5hSSgSwt

Should water use policy run the river dry or should protecting the rivers natural course be part of the plan? The Colorado runs dry before it enters The Gulf of California in Mexico. There is over 300 miles of river below Lake Mead that seems forgotten.
