​Where Has All the Carbon Gone, so Early in the Morning?

6/24/2021

1 Comment

 

When organic material, such as leaf litter, breaks down in water, the muck that accumulates breaks down slowly and can easily generate methane if the water doesn't have enough oxygen.

An underwater diver is stirring up the bottom of the pond and big bubbles of gas are being released
See what happens when sediments are disturbed at the bottom of a water body. Gases are released even in a healthy lake but when deprived of oxygen, they could include methane
Freshwater has become a key climate action window.  Freshwater is where carbon and excess nutrients stack up.  It’s where climate action and water stewardship can merge and may well be the single most concentrated greenhouse gas reduction opportunity available today.

Here are some basic data points that explain what is happening:

Water Has Emerged as THE Low-Hanging Fruit for Climate Action

6/9/2021

Water is a new realm for climate action and represents a relatively easy fix, following nature's model

As climate action finally begins in the United States in earnest, leaders face a maze of choices. The data keep coming in, and shifting, and sometimes changing. An example: methane is 21 times more impactful than carbon dioxide, per our EPA. Yet other credible and science-based entities state it’s 67 times more impactful, or 89 times. The fact that methane does not sustain in our atmosphere the same length of time as carbon dioxide does complicate quantifying its impact. We long for the day we can rely on data based on factual, empirical, nonpolitical science.

A Step Towards Paradise... How Do We Build On Nature's Model and Create Beauty and Abundance?

Manmade nutrients are being unleashed against water at pandemic volumes. We have no choice but to fix this, unless we are prepared to dig our own graves. The benefits outweigh the costs.

A beautiful vista for an island launch on a snowy day
A snowy Spring launch into a trout pond near Ennis, MT, ensures a great start for the plants, which will mature into a beautiful island over the summer
​Just the other day we launched BioHaven Floating Islands in an early spring snowstorm. The setting was Montana’s Madison Valley, not far from Yellowstone National Park. The source water we were launching on emits from the Madison range, from the ski hills of Big Sky and the back country of Cowboy Heaven.  

​As we worked, trout were bulging, hitting some kind of emerging nymph. Some of the trout created wakes as large as a blanket beaver.
