“Mayflies on the move: The nuisance with an ecological benefit” ICYMI, Dr. Bill Hintz, associate professor in The University of Toledo's Department of Environmental Science, spoke with WTOL11 News about the important role mayflies play in the health of our water. He says part of this importance is due to the direct connection that the land and lake have. "So what we call this in ecology or environmental science is an aquatic-terrestrial linkage," Hintz said. "And so, everything in the water is linked to the land, and the land is linked to the water." Which means mayflies tell a larger story. "This mayfly hatch can be an indicator of how healthy those connections are in the terrestrial and the aquatic environment in Lake Erie," said Hintz.

As a growth company in so many ways, Greenbelt supports continuous development and upskilling, as shown by #Landscape Estimator Amal Biju taking part in Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM)'s early careers #training programme.   This involves #biodiversity-focused areas, from #ecological appraisals and #habitat mapping to professional ethics and legislative awareness. Amal notes: “This programme will provide me with in-depth knowledge into biodiversity within new development. #Ecology, evolution and behaviour are key elements of the natural world – improving our knowledge of these is vital in mitigating #climate change.”

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the services offered by Circular Ecology. An LCA is a sophisticated decision support tool that can be used to identify the environmental benefits of your products, buildings, supply chains or services. https://lnkd.in/gqeTwNn

To achieve the Clean Water Act's goals, we need to prioritize upstream ecology first. Restoring the aquatic health of our smallest waterways should be a prerequisite for restoring larger rivers, lakes, and bays downstream. Read our featured story in American Water Resources Association's Water Resources IMPACT magazine. Stroud Water Research Center's transdisciplinary team brings a new perspective on the nation's freshwater ecosystems: Dave Arscott, Melinda Daniels, Charles Dow, John Jackson, Diana Oviedo Vargas, and Marc Peipoch. https://lnkd.in/eHrbhgD6

It’s nice to see that, a companies are trying to avoid any ecological harm from their projects specially in a projects like #offshore wind farms, which requires large area to generate meaningful power and most of these farms are located far from human inhabited places. We should always keep in mind that we are transitioning our power industries to save our environment and whenever I say environmental its included all the living and and non living things available at our planet and we should try our best to avoid any ecological damage by projects. Every projects of #ScottishPower amazed me specially #Whitelee offshore wind farm, which is the largest offshore wind farm of the UK . It covers a very large area but the teams of #ScottishPower trying there best to keep the natural inhabitants of species living there undisturbed. We should always remember that, we are transitioning our energy from non renewables to save the environment and its species not for just financial profit, that’s why every company should take care of environment like #ScottishPower #whitelee offshore wind farm. #SaveEnvironment #RenewableEnergy #ScottishPower #WhiteleePower
