NSW.Biodiversity<p>The Mediterranean Sea is abused as a rubbish dump </p><p>"Human-caused marine debris has already reached the deepest point in the Mediterranean Sea. We have also found evidence of the boats' dumping of bags full of rubbish, as revealed by the pile-up of different types of waste followed by an almost rectilinear furrow. Unfortunately, as far as the Mediterranean is concerned, it would not be wrong to say that 'not a single inch of it is clean." <br>>>><br><a href="https://phys.org/news/2025-03-human-marine-debris-deepest-mediterranean.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">phys.org/news/2025-03-human-ma</span><span class="invisible">rine-debris-deepest-mediterranean.html</span></a><br><a href="https://theblower.au/tags/MarineDebris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarineDebris</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/waste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waste</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/dumping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dumping</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pollution</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/sea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sea</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/boats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boats</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/MarinePollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarinePollution</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/marine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marine</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/habitat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>habitat</span></a></p>

John Dal<p>Recently Hill Wood Pasture has been identified as an important historic farmed habitat. In the Cheviots there would have been Juniper on the higher ground, then Ash/Birch lower down and finally Alder in the valley floor. Here's one of the few surviving Northumbrian examples, some Juniper on the hill and Alder in the valley floor.

Garrett SharpeMayapple is an ephemeral wildflower species in the Southeastern United States that makes either one or two big umbrella leaves, and literally look like a folded umbrella as they emerge from the ground in early spring. They make a single white flower hanging under their leaf that develops into a small apple-like fruit in May. This population occurs in the backyard of a neighbor, emerging from a thick groundcover of English ivy. I managed to convince the landowners, who are removing the ivy themselves, to let me clear the mayapple patch carefully this winter so as not to harm the mayapple roots. The cleared patch is now marked with white flags in picture 3.<br>

Esther Alder 🇺🇦Terrarium for Jumping Spider<br>

Закінчила будувати тераріум для павука-стрибуна. Дівчина мого сина подарувала йому такого, і він мені так сподобався, що я вирішила завести собі теж. Правда, минулого разу в магазині мені відмовилися його продавати – було надто холодно. Ну що ж, спробую ще раз сьогодні. Хоча поки що не вирішила, який саме різновид вибрати<br>

Garrett SharpeThis is a before and after example of one of the properties I've done invasive plant removal for, along with a picture of a friend who helped me one day. This property had at least 24 trashcans full of English ivy that needed to get taken away. While clearing it, found some sapling Carolina cherry laurel, around a dozen maple-leaf viburnum saplings, at least 20 cranefly orchid plants, and even some beautiful ghost pipes (a parasitic native plant that makes white waxy flowers). It's nice to help my neighbors out, and this project is part of 7 connected properties that asked for my service. An enormous project, but a project with huge rewards for our native plants and animals to have a large invasive-plant free refuge.<br>

Garrett SharpeSo this post will be an introduction to one topic I want to cover on here: the issue of invasive species. Here in central North Carolina, our yards and the native spaces attached to those yards are covered in foreign species, mostly from Asia, that include English ivy, Chinese privet, glossy privet, nandina, leatherleaf mahonia, Rose of Sharon, Japanese honeysuckle, and many other species. These plants are planted partly for mindless reasons (the stores sell them, and people buy them without knowing they are a huge problem), but partly because people see plants as decoration instead of living things. Yard owners don't want their yard plants full of holes from bugs eating them, and these plants remain pristine because no insect in America has the ability to eat them. Yardowners also want quick gratification and pick plants that grow quickly. When you combine the traits of pest-immunity and quick growth together, you get a plant that escapes the yard and takes over every space it enters. As these plants expand and displace native plants in the few places we don't pave over, the result is starvation of native insects and all of the animals that feed on those insects. Imagine trying to go to a grocery store and realizing all of the food around you is made of plastic. That is the reality for our native bugs, and that is why insect populations have been halved in the last half century. To say this is a dire situation is frankly an understatement, and there are other factors I won't get into on this post that make the issue even worse.<br>
<br>
One of my side projects in life is to remove English ivy and restore my neighborhood's native spaces. It's hard work, but I've restored 12 properties so far. If you can, please consider removing harmful species from your yard and planting native, your yard can become a haven for our wildlife.<br>
