On this week's Sustainable Living show, Anni and expert guest Kelli McGee discuss nature-based solutions to water quality and aquatic habitats.

Brian vanishes beneath Clear Lake and returns hours later clutching a carved relic—waterlogged, impossibly strong, and violently changed. Brian and Michelle plan a quiet end-of-summer camping trip, only to find Michelle's former best friends Kristin, Hailey, and Bella in the neighboring site. Old tensions soften into drinking, swimming, and one last celebration before school resumes. Then Brian dives into the lake looking for lost objects and finds something resembling carved petrified wood beneath the dark grass. The relic will not let him release it or swim to the surface. When he finally reappears, his body is bloated with water and his personality is gone. He attacks the women with supernatural strength, opens the object into a small box, and transforms the lake into an alien landscape beneath a green sky. Michelle must get the relic away from him without touching it while something in the water tugs at the survivors from below. Bruce Haney's “The Darkness Under Clear Lake” blends cursed-object horror, possession, an end-of-summer lake trip, body horror, warped reality, and friendship tested by an underwater threat. The richer description names Brian, Michelle, Kristin, Hailey, and Bella while keeping the origin and full power of the sunken box unknown. Story by Bruce Haney.

This week the Water Colors team talks about all things aeroid. Many of us are familiar with aeroids as popular house plants (Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, Anthurium, etc.) but are you as familiar with the types of aeroids that grow under the water’s surface? Calder did the research and gives you the science of what makes an aeroid unique, what conditions these plants thrive under, and how to protect endangered eco-systems while keeping your tank looking beautiful.  ***Please check with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services or your local Natural Resource Departments if you are unsure of a plant and/or how you can help prevent the spread of invasive species.*** Looking for more content?

I also breakdown aquatic training methods from an applied neurology perspective, and discuss how it can improve range of motion and create a more supportive environment for movement after injury, but also how it can adversely affect the vestibular system and create issues in certain situations. I talk about how I would use aquatic training for athletes, as well as some of the programming ideas in the Burdanko method that set it apart. Aquatic training is not your grandmother's water aerobics, and even though I have moved away from it for practical reasons, I encourage everyone to experiment with this modality to this day.

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.

What is the future of aquatic sports in Olympia and beyond if the Evergreen Pool is closed. We sit down with swim-team boosters this week to walk through the risks of losing the region’s largest public pool and how we can sustain athletic facilities into the 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.
