When you start studying a group of plants, you never know what you are going to find. Sometimes it's important insights into pollination and seed dispersal. Other times it's how the uplift of mountain chains shapes wetlands and rivers. These are the kinds of discoveries that drive Dr. Ana Bedoya to study the riverweeds of the family Podostemaceae. These extreme aquatic plants are fascinating in the own right while also having a lot to teach us about a variety of scientific disciplines.

Throughout history, barriers have been put up between African Americans and water. Segregated swimming pools, violence and discrimination against Black folks who try to swim in public pools - all of this was documented in the “POOL” exhibit that was on display at Fairmount Water Works from 2022-2023 and has now been transformed into a mobile exhibit. Racquel Williams sits down with a few of the folks behind the exhibit and a legendary Philadelphia swim coach to discuss the history, as well as how to overcome a fear of water and learn to swim. Then, Shara Dae Howard gets a behind-the-scenes golf cart tour of the FIFA Fan Festival at Lemon Hill, where up to 15,000 people per day are expected to watch the World Cup games from now through July 19.

Episode 120 of For the Record features Councillors Daniel Fontaine and Paul Minhas reviewing key decisions and debates from the June 8 New Westminster City Council meeting, along with the latest developments at Metro Vancouver and growing concerns about affordability in the city.The episode begins with a detailed discussion of the City's remaining $3.5 million Growing Communities Fund allocation. Fontaine and Minhas explain why they support a proposal that would dedicate $1 million toward immediate local sport and recreation priorities while reserving $2.5 million for the future redevelopment of the Grimston Park lacrosse box and multi-sport facility. The hosts argue that community sports organizations have been waiting years for investments and that funding should benefit residents across the city as soon as possible.The conversation then turns to Fontaine's motion honouring legendary New Westminster Bruins coach Ernie “Punch” McLean. Fontaine provides an update on efforts to recognize McLean's contributions to the city and discusses the growing support for a permanent tribute celebrating one of New Westminster's most iconic sports figures.Recreation infrastructure remains a major focus throughout the episode, including discussions about the future expansion of Queen's Park Arena, upgrades to local lacrosse facilities, and ways to improve recreational opportunities for families. The hosts also review a motion from Councillor Tasha Henderson aimed at providing free swimming lessons for children. While supporting the goal of expanding access, Fontaine and Minhas discuss concerns that simply increasing waitlists without creating additional capacity may not solve the underlying problem, drawing comparisons to a similar debate currently taking place in Vancouver.The hosts also examine a report outlining an automatic retroactive 2.2 per cent pay increase for elected officials that took effect on January 1 under existing council policy. While emphasizing that the increase is automatic and not the result of a council vote, Fontaine and Minhas question the timing given that New Westminster property taxes have increased by roughly 30 per cent over the past four years.Infrastructure and neighbourhood improvements are also discussed, including calls to accelerate road paving projects in the West End and ongoing efforts to ensure the təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre remains welcoming and accessible for families.Listeners will also hear highlights from Daniel Fontaine's appearance on The Mike Smyth Show, where he discussed ongoing concerns surrounding Metro Vancouver governance, spending, and accountability. The hosts review the latest regional issues and what they could mean for taxpayers across the Lower Mainland.The episode concludes with a discussion about property tax increases and the feedback council members continue to receive from residents struggling with affordability challenges. Fontaine and Minhas share concerns they have heard from homeowners, seniors, and families facing rising costs.The podcast wraps up with recognition of Pride Month and National Indigenous History Month, while also celebrating the completion of the New West Progressives election team, with 13 candidates now confirmed for the upcoming civic election.It's another wide-ranging episode covering local government, sports and recreation, taxpayer accountability, infrastructure priorities, and the issues shaping New Westminster's future.

The aquarium world is getting smaller, more specialized, and far more innovative. Recorded at AquaSwap 2026, this conversation with Nolan of Nolan's Aquarium explores how the fish-keeping industry is evolving as hobbyists shift toward nano tanks, aquatic plants, and Madaka ricefish—and why independent businesses need to evolve with them. Nolan shares how his business moved away from breeding large African cichlids and toward categories that better reflect what customers are actually looking for today. The conversation also dives into the growing appeal of micro reef systems, including portable, battery-powered saltwater setups that are opening new possibilities for hobbyists who want flexibility without sacrificing complexity. Along the way, Eric Triplet and Nolan discuss the role local fish clubs play in building knowledge, community, and long-term enthusiasm for the hobby. They also unpack why listening carefully to customer needs, stocking trusted specialty products, and staying close to the community remain some of the most important advantages an independent shop can have. Covered in this episode: • How shifting consumer demand is changing the direction of aquarium businesses • Why nano tanks, aquatic plants, and Madaka ricefish are gaining traction • What makes micro reef systems such a compelling innovation in the saltwater space • How local fish clubs help grow the hobby for beginners and experienced keepers alike • Why customer listening is essential for better recommendations and stronger business decisions • How specialized dry goods can help independent shops stand out • What authenticity looks like when stocking and recommending products • Why curiosity and everyday conversation starters can create unexpected business opportunities This episode offers a practical look at where the aquatic hobby is headed—and what it takes to stay relevant, useful, and passionate in a rapidly changing niche.

More than 3 billion people rely on seafood to supply a significant portion of the annual protein in their diets. That number will only rise as the global population grows. At the same time, the United Nations reports that 85% of the world's fisheries are overfished or fully exploited. Researchers are studying the global seafood trade in search of sustainable solutions, and that's a focus of this episode of Stats+Stories with guest Jessica Gephart. Jessica Gephart is an assistant professor in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Science at the University of Washington, where she runs the seafood globalization lab. Her research focuses on the intersection of seafood globalization and environmental change, evaluating how seafood trade drives distant environmental impacts, as well as how environmental shocks disrupt seafood trade. Gephart served on the scientific leadership team for the blue food assessment, where she co-led the environment and justice chapters and served as a U.S. science envoy for the U.S. Department of State.

The party stands heroically on the docks. The bard composes a sea shanty. The fighter sharpens his sword. The wizard prepares a speech about buoyancy physics he read on a forum at 3:00 AM. The rogue realizes sneak attack requires not drowning. The cleric discovers healing word does not cure lack of oxygen (or does it?). The DM Googles drowing rules mid-initiative because everyone forgot how breathing works. Welcome to underwater combat, where your character sheet becomes a flotation device and the real boss monster is physics. Show Notes In this episode the RPGBOT crew dives into underwater combat in tabletop RPGs (especially D&D 5e's mechanics), exploring how the environment radically changes tactics, character builds, spell effectiveness, and encounter design. From fighting sea monsters to exploring sunken cities, the episode focuses on helping both players and Dungeon Masters survive combat in aquatic environments. The hosts discuss how underwater encounters fundamentally alter normal assumptions about combat: movement slows, weapon effectiveness changes, ranged attacks suffer, and suddenly everyone cares deeply about breathing. Holding your breath and weapon limitations become major survival mechanics, sometimes more dangerous than the enemies themselves. They also cover adventure design inspiration from nautical campaigns and aquatic modules, emphasizing that underwater sessions feel memorable because they force players to rethink their habits. Instead of pure damage math, success often depends on preparation, environment-appropriate gear, teamwork, and creative problem solving. The episode balances mechanical analysis with humor, especially the universal tabletop experience of realizing too late that your character was designed exclusively for land combat and is now essentially a confused housecat thrown into the ocean. Ultimately, the crew frames underwater encounters as a powerful storytelling tool: when used intentionally, aquatic combat becomes less about hit points and more about tension, creative problem solving, and environmental immersion. Key Takeaways Underwater combat changes the meta: normal D&D 5e tactics don't always work the same way. Breathing mechanics and suffocation rules can be deadlier than monsters. Many weapons and ranged attacks are dramatically less effective underwater. Spell choice matters. Some spells become amazing while others become useless. Movement restrictions force teamwork and positioning strategy. Preparation (gear, magic, planning) beats raw DPR optimization. Aquatic encounters create memorable sessions because players must adapt. Environmental storytelling works best when mechanics reinforce danger. DMs should telegraph danger so failure feels fair, not arbitrary. Randall should not be trusted with physics experiments.

Watch the full video:  https://wetflyswing.com/salmonflyproject Take the Angler Survey:  https://salmonflyproject.org/survey/ Support the Salmonfly Project:  https://salmonflyproject.org/donate/ In this episode, we dig deep into one of the most important but often misunderstood parts of fly fishing: entomology, or the study of aquatic insects, and how it directly connects to success on the water. James Frakes and Jackson Birrell from the Salmonfly Project break this topic down in a way that makes it approachable, practical, and actually useful for anglers at any level. Instead of overwhelming you with scientific jargon or Latin names, they focus on what matters most: understanding bugs well enough to make better decisions when fish are feeding. Right from the start, the conversation shifts the way you think about "matching the hatch." It's not just about picking the right fly—it's about understanding timing, behavior, and movement. When you start thinking not only like a fish, but also like the bug, everything begins to click. Why Bugs Matter More Than You Think One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that bugs are not just "fish food" they are the foundation of the entire river ecosystem. Aquatic insects: Feed trout and drive feeding behavior Support birds and other wildlife Help clean and maintain healthy rivers Act as early warning signs for water quality In fact, over 70% of freshwater species are insects, which puts into perspective just how important they are. The guys emphasize that it's not just about having a lot of bugs it's about diversity. Different species hatch at different times, creating consistent feeding opportunities for trout throughout the year. Without that diversity, fishing becomes less predictable and often less productive.   The Big 3: Mayflies, Stoneflies, and Caddisflies To simplify things, they focus on the three major insect groups every angler should understand: 1. Mayflies These are the classic "dry fly" bugs most anglers think of. They have a unique lifecycle that includes multiple fishable stages: Nymph Emerger Dun (adult) Spinner (final stage) Because mayflies take a long time to emerge and sit in the surface film, trout feed on them gently those classic sipping rises. A key insight:  Mayflies are often most vulnerable during emergence, making emerger and cripple patterns incredibly effective. 2. Stoneflies Stoneflies behave very differently. Instead of emerging mid-river, they: Crawl to the banks Hatch out of the water Return to lay eggs by skittering or "splatting" on the surface This creates a completely different feeding response from trout:  More aggressive, splashy eats One of the most surprising takeaways: During big hatches like salmonflies, fish may already be completely full from eating nymphs That's why sometimes fish ignore giant dry flies even when bugs are everywhere 3. Caddisflies Caddis are fast, active, and incredibly abundant. Their lifecycle includes: Larva Pupa (fast-rising stage) Adult (moth-like) Unlike mayflies, caddis emerge quickly and don't sit long on the surface. This leads to:  Faster, more aggressive trout feeding (the classic "caddis rise") A big takeaway here: Fishing wet flies or pupae is often more effective than dry flies during caddis activity Understanding Behavior Over Identification One of the most important themes in this episode is that you don't need to memorize every bug species. Instead, focus on: What type of bug it is (mayfly, stonefly, caddis) Where it lives (bottom, rocks, banks) How it moves (slow drift vs fast swim vs skitter) When it emerges If you understand those basics, you can:  Anticipate feeding behavior instead of reacting to it Hatch Timing and Strategy The episode also dives into how hatches actually happen and how to fish them. Key concepts: Hatches are driven by water temperature and seasonal timing Spinner falls are driven by air temperature Bugs emerge in predictable windows (morning, midday, evening) Some practical strategies: Fish nymphs before the hatch begins Switch to emergers right before activity Match surface patterns only when fish are clearly feeding up top They also highlight how: Cloudy, humid weather often improves mayfly fishing Sunny afternoons can be better for stoneflies Evening and even nighttime can be prime for caddis Real Science Meets Real Fishing What makes this episode stand out is how the Salmonfly Project connects science directly to angling. Their work includes: Studying insect populations Tracking environmental changes Running angler-driven data collection They explain how insects act as "canaries in the coal mine"s howing early signs of river health changes before fish populations decline. This ties into a bigger message:  Understanding bugs makes you not just a better angler—but a better steward of the river The Wild Side of Bugs This episode also mixes in some unforgettable (and slightly crazy) insights: Caddis larvae build underwater nets and fight over territory Some stoneflies live underground and show up in people's wells Mayflies have been around longer than dinosaurs Certain bugs can literally "chirp" underwater to compete These moments highlight something important:  There's an entire world happening beneath your feet that most anglers never see The Big Takeaway If there's one idea to walk away with, it's this: You don't need to know everything about bugs—  you just need to understand enough to predict what's happening. When you: Recognize the type of insect Understand its behavior Match your presentation accordingly You move from guessing…  to fishing with purpose. Final Thoughts This conversation is a reminder that fly fishing isn't just about casting or gear it's about awareness. The anglers who consistently find success aren't always using the fanciest flies—they're the ones paying attention to: What's happening in the water What stage the bugs are in How trout are responding And once you start seeing the river through that lens, everything changes.

Winchester's Indoor Pool: What's Next for Aquatics at Jim Barnett Park? Winchester Parks & Recreation Director Chris Konyar joins Janet to discuss the future of the city's indoor pool — and why your input matters right now. What's the issue? The War Memorial building's older wing dates to 1957, and the indoor pool itself was installed in 1975. By 2029–2030, the city will face a mandatory renovation: new roof, HVAC, locker rooms, and the pool itself. Three concepts on the table: Concept A – Fix and upgrade the existing pool (ventilation, spectator space, pump room). City-only. Est. $8–10M. Concept B – Add a second body of water within the existing footprint, expanding programming capacity and accommodating the area's growing number of high school swim teams. Concept C – A full regional aquatic facility, potentially incorporating the outdoor pool into a larger indoor/outdoor complex. Requires regional partnerships (Frederick County, Clarke County, Shenandoah University, local swim clubs, etc.) to share costs — and could unlock private fundraising. Why it matters beyond city limits: The Winchester pool already functions as a de facto regional pool, hosting teams from Handley, Millbrook, James Wood, and Sherando. A fifth high school is on the way. Shenandoah University is exploring adding Division III swimming. The survey is open to everyone in the region — not just city residents. Take the survey: winchesterva.gov/aquatics All feedback is welcome — even if you never use the pool. That data is just as valuable. Questions?
