For anyone trying to stop doomscrolling and reduce existential dread, may I recommend: fish tank.

This bad boy doesn’t even have fish in it yet and I already spend every waking moment looking at fish tank, thinking about fish tank, planning fish tank.

In summary: fish tank.

As rising sea levels and #climatechange induced storms hit coasts, one threat often flies under the radar: sewage pollution.

This is a human health issue and has profound environmental consequences, say Tanvi Oza of WaterAid Australia and

Juvenile Yellowtail Damselfish (Microspathodon chrysurus) are always a challenge to photograph. They live in habitats of high complexity and swim very fast in and out of cracks and holes on the reef. But when you get a good shot, you can see that they are simply stunning.
