Heβs cleared 35,000 pounds of trash from Miamiβs mangroves and isnβt done yet
We accompanied Andrew Otazo on a trip to the mangroves. To date, the Miami man has cleared more than 17 tons of trash, mostly from the islands around Biscayne Bay.
Heβs on a quest to clear as much as he can, concentrating on the garbage caught in the roots of mangroves, while also working to convince Floridians to cut down on plastic pollution and update waste systems that carry trash into the ocean. Photos & video: wapo.st/4hDuxjF. π

Government U-turns on support for bird-friendly swift bricks in new homes
Housing minister Steve Reed refuses to back mandating measure, despite giving support while in environment job
Exasperated. Gutted. Furious. Terrified. Sometimes swear words are the only ones that fit.
Our delightful government - who we put our trust in - is u-turning on THE easiest Nature action *ever*.

An Ancient Egyptian stonemason's mallet!
Craftsmen would have used these to hammer out blocks for temples, obelisks and (in earlier times) pyramids
This one is from the New Kingdom ~1300BC, and now in the Weston Park Museum Sheffield

This plaque has been around for a while, but I passed it a few times while training for last weekend's Great Scottish Run, and it always makes me smile when I do, so I thought I'd post it again. It's on a wall beside the Maryhill Locks in Glasgow.

Jubb describes the decline of the river really got going from 2016 onwards, when licenses for intensive chicken farms began to be granted in numbers not seen before - leading to a burden of phosphate + nitrate more than the river can process:
