Human activities like construction, farming, and oyster dredging can harm submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the Chesapeake Bay. Construction and farming cause sediment and nutrient runoff that clouds the water and blocks sunlight SAV needs to survive. Oyster dredging physically damages SAV habitats. These effects can be reduced by replanting SAV, limiting construction and nutrient runoff, and restricting oyster dredging.
Martin's Pond Nature Reserve in Nottingham, England contains various habitats including open water, marsh, grassland, and woodland. The open water provides a home for birds like mallards and swans, as well as fish. Around the water's edge is a marsh community with plants adapted to wet conditions that offer shelter for pond wildlife. A boardwalk allows visitors to walk over the marsh and view the diverse plant and animal life. Woodland covers an island in the center of the pond.

The document discusses efforts to restore degraded mangroves and salt marshes near the mouth of the Brisbane River. SEQ Catchments has used innovative techniques like installing rocks to delineate the intertidal zone and prevent vehicle access, allowing the plants to recover. They also built rock groynes and beaches to protect the riverbank from erosion. A variety of methods were used to establish salt marsh, mangroves, and seedlings to encourage natural regeneration of these important ecosystems.
Loch Leven in Scotland has experienced eutrophication from phosphorus pollution over many decades but water quality is now recovering due to reductions in phosphorus loading. The long-term water quality and ecosystem monitoring data from Loch Leven, spanning over 50 years, has helped identify the causes and track the recovery. Water quality targets have been met with reductions in algal blooms, expansion of aquatic plants, and improvements in bird and fish populations that have boosted tourism. However, climate change poses a risk and further reductions in nutrients may be needed to ensure resilience of the ecosystem.

Frank Kwak, president of the Fraser Valley Salmon Society, takes a reporter to Gill Bar on the Fraser River to show them one of the gravel bars being mined under the province's flood protection program. Kwak believes the program's stated goal of flood protection is misleading and the gravel is actually being removed for private profit. Critics like retired fisheries biologist Otto Langer question whether flood risk is the true motivation, or if it is being used to subsidize the local aggregate industry. While the program claims to be protecting homes and infrastructure from floods, some experts argue the science does not support the locations chosen for gravel extraction and the work could be harming fish habitat.
The document discusses several attractions in County Waterford, Ireland, including Mahon Falls, an 80m waterfall located near Lemybrien in the Comeragh Mountains.

This document provides a chronology of development along the Current River in Thunder Bay, Ontario from 1823 to present day. It describes how the river was initially used by Indigenous peoples and explored by European settlers in the 1800s. The first major development was a stamp mill built at the river's mouth in 1866 to process ore from a nearby silver mine. Over time, more mines, docks, and other industrial activities were established along the lower reaches of the river. By the late 1900s, the river's ecology had been degraded but rehabilitation efforts are now underway to restore fish habitat and populations through projects like a fish ladder installed in 1991. The document aims to outline the history of human impacts to inform management strategies to rehabilitate
