China's claims in South China Sea are invalid, tribunal rules, in victory for the Philippines

China's claims in South China Sea are invalid, tribunal rules, in victory for the Philippines | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.latimes.com - July 12, 2016 8:43 PM
A court in The Hague says China's assertion of historical rights in the South China Sea have no basis
PIRatE Lab's insight:
This very dangerous game of chicken is continuing to grow.  As with so many UN/international agreements that can simply be ignored, it is unclear if this ruling will have the effect of tamping down tensions in the South China Sea or simply be a road bump.

My students are directed to my previous posts and lecture on the Law of the Sea and these recent stories:

Why FEMA has spent $4 billion to help destroy flood-prone homes

Hunter Santana's comment, Today, 2:39 PM
This is an interesting move to destroy flood prone homes. One one side of the argument, they are reducing the risk of fatalities during a severe flood event. Yet those that are forced to relocate may not be able to financially or physically do so. I hope there is a government program that will assist those who are unable to make the move.

PFAS chemicals are incredibly important to avoid, they are chemicals that stay within the body forever, which is why they're known as forever chemicals. Keeping pfas related chemicals out of our water will be difficult but will be something absolutely necessary.

Coral reefs suffer fourth global bleaching event, NOAA says

Coral reefs suffer fourth global bleaching event, NOAA says | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.reuters.com - April 16, 11:58 PM
Along coastlines from Australia to Kenya to Mexico, many of the world's colorful coral reefs have turned a ghostly white in what scientists said on Monday amounted to the fourth global bleaching event in the last three decades.
Sophia Hoolihan's insight:
Scientists believe the latest bleaching event will be severely damaging, describing it as a tipping point for coral reefs. In addition to being biodiversity hotspots, coral reefs bring in roughly $2.7 trillion in goods and services per year via tourism, storm surge protection, and supporting fisheries. Some bleached corals can recover after the waters cool, but the duration and intensity of this bleaching event will cause permanent damage to many reefs.

Reese Ventura's comment, April 17, 12:16 AM
Human activity will likely eventually kill off all coral reefs, or at least most of them. With the effects of climate change being practically irreversible at this point, I don't see how we will stop the destruction of coral reefs.
Kim Rosales's comment, April 19, 10:51 PM
I wonder if coral reef bleaching occurred when El Nino occurred in 1998, 2010, 2014, & 2017 and if the reefs recovered.

‘Water is more valuable than oil’: the corporation cashing in on America’s drought | Environment | The Guardian

‘Water is more valuable than oil’: the corporation cashing in on America’s drought | Environment | The Guardian | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.theguardian.com - April 16, 9:44 PM
In an unprecedented deal, a private company purchased land in a tiny Arizona town – and sold its water rights to a suburb 200 miles away
John Burns's insight:
So this is not directly a disaster, but a group of people profiting from one. A corporation has decided to sell the water rights to a large farm area that it was not seeing profits from. I understand the farmland had water rights that belong to them specifically, but I am surprised there was no laws or anything in place stating that when a corporation(farm land) owns water rights they can not be separated from the land. I have heard of it for other things-usually mining purposes to separate the mineral rights, but not water. Interesting how it happened and I wonder what if anything comes from it. It does open a box of others potentially doing the same thing. 
more...
Sophia Hoolihan's comment, April 17, 12:04 AM
I was surprised to read how the company that sold the water rights originally bought the land under the guise that it was an agricultural business. Instead it was actually an investment firm, with a history of managing water related investments. They originally rented out the land to farmers, but then decided to make a profit off of the current water scarcity crisis affecting the Colorado River. It's truly disappointing how greed is a main motivating factor in a widespread drought situation.
Angelina De La Torre's comment, April 19, 7:16 PM
I don't understand how water is allowed to be considered a private commodity when it is a necessity and basic human right. It's terrible that everything is being turned into a product.

Mount Ruang on Ruang Island, North Sulawesi has erupted five times since April 16 causing Indonesian authorities to encourage the island's villagers to evacuate.

The stratovolcano expelled plumes of ash and lava, causing Tagulandang authorities to warm their residents for falling lava rocks.

I can see both sides of the argument for this article with the government and local farmers. On one hand the State regulators are trying to get a control of how much water is being used so that ground level won't sink any further. With that said many local farmers may go out of business due to the extra fees. Many people prefer to buy at a supermarket where food comes in from far away instead of shopping at local farmers markets.

Coral reefs are a valuable ecosystem to earth because they harbor diverse marine life and provide coastal protection. Their ability to recover is hindered by declining populations and the effects of ocean acidification. The increasing rate of coral bleaching is also affecting the marine life that depend on these coral reefs. Human activities is causing irreversible destruction that we will probably keep getting worse.
