(23 Mar) Chicago-Sized Iceberg Hid Ancient Ecosystem, Scientists Reveal

Ancient sponges and corals were found on the exposed seafloor, in an area previously inaccessible to humans.

Bought a few new #plants for the fish in the #garden #pond. Should help with oxygen and algae, and in time give them a few new hiding spots.

They say the green water snake in Botswana is harmless but I was still creeped out! Photographed in the Chobe river in Botswana!

Happy Tuesday @pixel_dailies enjoyers! Here is a compilation of #aquatic #animals from my Dailies archive

I've been busy overhauling the puzzle engine for #TaiFab 2 (my current #GBStudio project), and I'm happy with the results so far

Did you know that some research believes that #ancient #Europeans regularly ate #seaweed?

#Aquatic #plant eating is often connected to Asia. But in 2023, researchers found evidence of widespread consumption of seaweed during the transitional years between hunter-gather culture & farming.

What's more is that Europeans kept eating seaweed into the early #MiddleAges - perhaps recognising its nutritional value.

Why have aquatic foods been lost in western diets?

Good question.

Scientists have discovered that comb jellies, one of the oldest animals on Earth, can fuse together. The surprising find has prompted some existential questions among biologists. @CNN has more.

Environmental harm though tyre pollution

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed

"Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tyre fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food. Researchers in South China recently found tyre-derived chemicals in most human urine samples."

"We know that heavier vehicles, including electric cars (which have very heavy batteries), wear down their tyres faster and generate more microplastic particles...With more than 2 billion tyres produced each year to fit ever-heavier and more numerous cars, the problem is set to escalate. The environmental toll will only increase unless we recognise and target the specific problem."

Water Quality and AMR

The effects of climate change on water systems are multifaceted:

• Increased #runoff and #flooding contribute to the dissemination of #contaminants.

• Alterations in #aquatic #ecosystems may favour the proliferation of specific #bacterial populations.

• #Wastewater treatment facilities encounter significant challenges.

• #Microplastics may function as #vectors for the transmission of #AMR #genes.

#Oxygen is a fundamental requirement of life on planet Earth. The loss of oxygen in water, also referred to as #aquatic #deoxygenation, is a threat to life at all levels. The international team of researchers describes how ongoing deoxygenation presents a major threat to the livelihoods of large parts of society and for the stability of life on our planet.
