Ever look closely at the critters living under rocks in a #stream? Sampling these small organisms can tell you a lot about how a stream’s #ecosystem is functioning. It can be a powerful tool to monitor stream health. https://stantec.co/3Sl44fO #EcosystemRestoration #GenerationRestoration #FishPassage #StreamRestoration

Incredible pics in this link that beg the question. How can we compete with Mother Nature's wrath? Over the last several years billions of dollars have been invested in technology that that detects #wildfire. Case in point will be the initial smoke pics of the #ParkFire found in this series. One moral to the story is, no matter how quickly a fire can be detected, the battle is futile without the capacity to respond appropriately. I'm not throwing stones at the fire service here. Their response with the existing capacity was exemplary. I am advocating we've spent billions to detect and little to nothing to address the capacity that will make a difference. My six capacity investment recommendations: 1. Invest into development of heavy aircraft 2. Better contracting for those aircraft 3. Improved dispatch solutions 4. Better benefits and equity for federal firefighters 5. Expansion of fire crew numbers and modules 6. Development and utilization of innovative ground suppression equipment My top picks for government and industry capacity: 1. Investment into using biomass for energy 2. Improved forest management 3. Governtment incentives for preparedness 4. Investment into safe innovative chemical suppression solutions https://lnkd.in/g8yvF8hj
