A multi-stressor scenario for the ocean and waterway ecosystems:

* The ocean is 'cooked' by the combustion of fossil fuels.
* Add a generous heap of 'nutrient-rich' floodwaters (runoff) from farms and suburbia.
* Get a harmful algal bloom (HAB) disaster, killing bio-diverse marine life and threatening the hip pocket nerve of coastal dwellers.

"A survey found that Australians remained far more concerned about disasters such as bushfires and flooding than they did HABs, despite 22 million people living with seven kilometres of the coastline and climate change modelling predicting more frequent and severe blooms."

"The study also found Australians had a "relatively low prioritisation of disasters — and HABs in particular — when compared with everyday socio-economic concerns"...Cost of living and healthcare dominated respondents' concerns in Australia, while environmental and climate change-related risks were perceived as less pressing.' >>

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐻🎣 The #Katmai bear cams return June 23, livestreaming brown #bears #fishing for #salmon at #BrooksFalls, #Alaska.

Adult males gain roughly a pound per day, going from about 700 lbs (318 kg) to over 1,200 lbs (544 kg) by fall, storing fat to survive #winter weight loss of up to one-third their body mass. The 2025 Fat Bear Week champion Chunk emerged from #hibernation with a healing broken jaw.

Tonight's movie is a horrible B-movie that is hilarious! Swarm of the Snakehead (2006) is so bad I can't stop laughing. Granted, the beginning was slow and painful, but when all the snakeheads started attacking, it was hilarious and awesome!! 😂 It's free to stream on Tubi.

"With three sullen daughters in tow, a hapless father returns to his hometown to discover the residents are under attack by genetically-engineered snakehead fish."

Stars Jamie Linck O'Brien, Lisa Burdette, Maggie Denning, Gunnar Hansen, & Frank Lama.

Directed by Joel Denning & Frank Lama.

Music by Tom Alonso.
