Here's to a wonderful and regenerative new year

"Sarbanes actively worked at bay restoration and the protection of the estuary’s trails and waterways."

"In September this year, the group [Paris Agreement] concluded that the world was heading for warming of around 2.7C by 2100. This figure was still far above the 2C goal contained in the wording of the Paris pact, and nowhere near the more challenging 1.5C target that scientists endorsed as the threshold to destructive warming in 2018. Their new "optimistic analysis" now suggests a rise of 2.1C by 2100."

The last fully intact ice shelf in the Canadian Arctic has collapsed, losing more than 40 percent of its area in just two days at the end of July, researchers said on Thursday.

"The NEPA change is likely to have an outsized impact on low-income neighborhoods that are already disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards.

For the first time in nearly 50 years, California condors have been spotted at Sequoia National Park, wildlife officials announced.

The Bay lost a bit more than 34,986 acres of submerged aquatic vegetation, or SAV, erasing nearly a third of the plants from the shallow waters around the Bay.

The UK-led team's aim is to study what they have called the "anthropause" - the global-scale, temporary slowdown in human activity, which is likely to have a profound impact on other species.

Happy International Women in Engineering Day! By encouraging girls into engineering careers, not only does society increase diversity and inclusion - a business imperative - but it enables an opportunity to fill the substantial future job opportunities that have been predicted in the engineering sector. Northgate celebrates today and actively supports bridging the race, ethnicity, and gender gap in the engineering community. Northgate's very own senior-level engineer, Nicky R...obinson, is featured in the below American Society of Civil Engineers' LinkedIn post highlighting female engineers in the San Diego area. Nicky's interests in math and science have led her to a 10 year career with Northgate, where her professional engineering and management experience has been focused in remediation design and construction site oversight; environmental assessments, investigations, and characterization; stormwater management; regulatory compliance; and technical data review. Congrats, Nicky! https://www.linkedin.com//asce-san-diego-ymf-009_meet-the-

How neat is this? The initiative that seeks to galvanise the creation of a full map of the ocean floor says one-fifth of this task has now been completed.

"The U.S. Senate passed legislation to fully and permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund and to provide additional funding for national parks, wildlife refuges, and other public lands over the next five years. Titled the Great American Outdoors Act, the bill would effectively double the amount of federal dollars allocated to land conservation each year and fund the program on a permanent basis"

"After three years of predicting above-average dead zones for the Chesapeake Bay, experts from the Chesapeake Bay Program, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, University of Michigan and U.S. Geological Survey estimate that in 2020, dead zone size will be nine percent lower than average when compared to the past 34 years."

"Earth, humanity and nature are inextricably interconnected. To restore us all back to health, we need to "rewild" the world, says environmental activist Kristine Tompkins. Tracing her life from Patagonia CEO to passionate conservationist, she shares how she has helped to establish national parks across millions of acres of land (and sea) in South America -- and discusses the critical role we all have to play to heal the planet. "We have a common destiny," she says. "We can flourish or we can suffer, but we're going to be doing it together."

"The U.S. Senate voted on Monday to end debate on the Great American Outdoors Act, a bipartisan bill to permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) at $900 million annually and provide $9.5 billion over five years to fix maintenance problems that are plaguing America’s public lands."
