BellingenNSWThe Murray-Darling Basin A $13 billion, 30-year flop: landmark study reveals stark failure to halt Murray-Darling River decline"Some A$13 billion in taxpayer dollars and 30 years of policy reform have failed to arrest the devastating decline in the health of Australia’s most important river system, the Murray-Darling Basin, new research shows.""Historically, state governments have allowed too much water to be taken from the system, primarily to irrigate crops. This has caused extensive environmental damage such as toxic blue-green algae blooms, dramatic falls in bird and fish populations and undrinkable town water supplies, to name just a few. The damage has been exacerbated by invasive species, climate change, dams that block water flows, and bush clearing which makes water running into rivers more salty.""Troublingly, we found that after more than a decade of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, 74% of success indicators were not met. This means there was either no improvement or worsening conditions.The Murray-Darling Basin Plan is due for review in 2026. Clearly, monitoring to date has been inadequate. Our paper outlines ways to fix this, so real outcomes are achieved.""Among our suggestions, river ecosystems could be mapped to ensure Australia meets its international obligation this decade to restore 30% of inland water ecosystems and include 30% of these ecosystems in protected areas.And those responsible for implementing the basin plan, primarily state and federal government agencies, should be held accountable when targets are not met". >> <a href="https://theconversation.com/a-13-billion-30-year-flop-landmark-study-reveals-stark-failure-to-halt-murray-darling-river-decline-244296" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/a-13-billion-30-year-flop-landmark-study-reveals-stark-failure-to-halt-murray-darling-river-decline-244296</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#water</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/rivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rivers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ecosystems</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MDB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MDB</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/murraydarling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#murraydarling</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#extractivism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cotton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cotton</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GBF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GBF</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Kunming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kunming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/fish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fish</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#governance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/failure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#failure</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FishKill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FishKill</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndigenousPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeoples</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/rights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rights</a>

Then people can vote after being fully informed about how government is managing the environment.” >> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/feb/21/murray-darling-basin-fishing-degradation" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/feb/21/murray-darling-basin-fishing-degradation</a>The ESA documents science suppression in Australia <a href="https://www.ecolsoc.org.au/science-suppression/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ecolsoc.org.au/science-suppression/</a>Consequences of information suppression in ecological and conservation sciences <a href="https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/conl.12757" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/conl.12757</a><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSW</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#governance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/PR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PR</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/rivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rivers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/degradation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#degradation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ScienceSuppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceSuppression</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ecology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/silence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#silence</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MurrayDarlingBasin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MurrayDarlingBasin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FishKill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FishKill</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NaturalEvents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NaturalEvents</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSWLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSWLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RemnantVegetation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RemnantVegetation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/StopNativeForestLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StopNativeForestLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#democracy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Australia</a>

DoomsdaysCWWhy thousands of fish washed up on these Texas beachesby Juliana Kim, June 12, 20233:43 PM ET"How <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> plays a role in fish kill"Fish kills are common in the warmer months, like summer time. But oceans at large are heating up because of human-caused climate change."'Water can only hold so much oxygen at certain temperatures, and certainly we know that seawater temperatures are rising,' Clair said. 'It is concerning and something that needs to be monitored.'"Warmer oceans trigger a cascade of other changes to the ecosystem and the economy. One study from the SeaDoc Society at the University of California, Davis found that starfish were more susceptible to disease because of warm water anomalies. The Environmental Protection Agency also found that fish species are leaving their natural habitat in search for cooler waters, disrupting the fishing industry."Read more: <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/06/12/1181661320/fish-kill-texas-beaches-explained" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.npr.org/2023/06/12/1181661320/fish-kill-texas-beaches-explained</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FishKill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FishKill</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Texas</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oceans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Oceans</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OceanWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OceanWarming</a>
