A court has upheld a key decision by California’s water board calling for reductions in water diversions from the San Joaquin River and its tributaries to help revive struggling fish populations. @CaWaterBoards @FeliciaMarcus https://t.co/0ENsCKU17K
Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, recently returned to Midway Atoll!
The beloved Laysan albatross, or mōlī, is at least 71 years old. Biologists first identified and banded Wisdom in 1956 after she laid an egg, and the large seabirds aren’t known to breed before age 5.
As Utah's Great Salt Lake shrivels to unprecedented low levels from freshwater deprivation, the collapse of its ecosystem has begun.

I’d like to see a cost benefit analysis of locking things like deodorant and condoms up at stores. Like, how many fewer of these items are purchased because of the inconvenience? What’s the non-market cost of smelly people? 😉
Payments of $300 to $400 an acre-foot -- only very high value vegetable crops have higher profit per ac-ft. This would get pretty popular pretty fast.
