Permafrost thaw will cause billions of dollars of damage to Arctic infrastructure. Roads (like this roller coaster due to frost heave), buildings, runways, coastlines. Delay at our own peril.

Ever wondered what options we have for reducing #UnderwaterNoise impacts to #MarineMammals from commercial shipping? 🚢🔊🐬
Could slowing down ships be one of the answers? 🤔

Concerns in Arctic ports as well
Bryozoans transported to the Great Lakes: We've found large numbers of statoblasts of 11 species (incl nonnative/cryptogenic spp) in ballast tanks of ships visiting the Great Lakes. A statoblast of one species (P. casmiana) was hatched in the lab redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Ki... #bioinvasions

Hello––I'm interested in poetry & songs written to protest against harm to rivers or to protect them from harm.
Not just paeans to rivers, of which there are many. But words to protest or protect.
Can you recommend anything? I’d really like to grow a list.
Any century, language, culture, custom.
