Replying to
Seeking Refuge in the Mangroves
Evan Cooper, Bahamas
A juvenile green turtle in a shallow Bahamian mangrove forest near sunset during high tide. As the water levels rise and the tide comes in, the mangroves’ roots transform from a barren buffer to a flourishing ecosystem home to sea turtles, crustaceans, fish and much more. Given its size, this turtle has probably arrived here from the Sargasso Sea.

#GutenMorgen Fediland. ☕🕖
Exil.
Bei diesem Projektverlauf könnte ich Schnapp-Atmung bekommen.
Aber ich habe schon vor langer Zeit gelernt, mich zu konzentrieren, in meine Arbeit abzutauchen und den ganzen Scheiß um mich herum auszublenden.
Habt einen schönen Donnerstag.

Today is #WorldTurtleDay! #Turtles have an ancient meaning all over the world. Far from being meek and mild, they are warriors and symbolic of our past, present and fragile future on this planet #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetectives@mastodonapp.uk

Israeli attack kills famed turtle sanctuary ecologist in Lebanon
"The Lebanese marine activist Mona Khalil, who became a beloved figure in the country for a decades-long effort to protect a nesting site for turtles near her home, has died from injuries sustained in an Israeli strike.
Khalil, 76, ran a sanctuary called the Orange House Project near the Mediterranean city of Tyre. She hosted volunteers in her house to clean and monitor a mile-long beach and welcomed tourists to stay and learn about conservation."

WaterNSW criticised for ‘appalling’ decision after hundreds of turtles left to die in wetlands
"Environmental flows refer to water released by the government from dams and tributaries into rivers and ecosystems to restore their health. The Gingham watercourse is home to three turtle species, the broad-shelled turtle, the Murray River turtle and the eastern long-necked turtle."
"Cutmore said she was “not happy with what’s gone down” and was concerned irrigators were “calling the shots over and over”.
