Why did Peter return to fishing after the resurrection? Why did Jesus repeat the miraculous catch of fish? And why does John end his Gospel with a quiet breakfast on the shoreline?In this episode of the Verbatim Word Podcast, we explore John 21 and discover that the shoreline becomes the meeting place between our old life and God's new calling. Jesus reminds His disciples—and us—that apart from Him we can do nothing, but with Him ordinary lives become transformed.In this episode:• Why the disciples returned to the Sea of Galilee• What the miraculous catch of fish really means• How Jesus transforms everyone who truly meets Him• Learning to wait on God's timing• Recognizing Jesus in everyday life• Why our greatest lack often becomes God's greatest opportunityWhether you're studying the Gospel of John, preparing a Bible study, or simply longing to see Jesus more clearly, this conversation offers practical encouragement and biblical insight.BIBLE VERSE References: JOHN 21:1-13 | MATTHEW 11:5 | JOHN 9:25 | PSALM 107:1-3 | ROMANS 12:2 | MATTHEW 28:6-10 | MARK 14:28 | JOHN 8:36 | ISAIAH 30:1-3 | JAMES 1:2-4 | PSALM 27:14 | ISAIAH 40:31 | JAMES 1:2-4 | MATTHEW 18:20 | LUKE 11:1 | HABAKKUK 3:19 | REVELATION 3:14-22 | GEN 3:7 | GENESIS 3:21 | LUKE 5:1-11 *Music tracks by Blue Dot Sessions titled “Glass Beads” and “Come As You Were” were featured in this episode

Summer is prime time for river smallmouth, and once the water warms up, these fish become some of the most aggressive and predictable bass you can target. In this episode, we break down how rising water temperatures change smallmouth behavior, why crayfish are the key food source to imitate around rock and gravel, and why the shoreline often holds more active fish than the middle of the river. We cover how to read current breaks, shade lines, and first drop-offs, how to cover water efficiently until a pattern shows itself, and the gear setup that gives you the sensitivity and control to handle hard-fighting river fish. If you want to turn every bend and rock line into a productive stop, this episode has the blueprint.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

The former Zeneca chemical facility site in Richmond, CA, a contaminated shoreline property that has become a focal point for community concerns about environmental health, cleanup efforts, and the future impacts of sea level rise along San Francisco Bay. Photo courtesy of Richmond Shoreline Alliance. Across the San Francisco Bay shoreline, communities are living alongside the legacy of more than a century of industrial activity. From former chemical manufacturing facilities to hazardous waste sites, contaminated lands and waterways continue to shape the environment and public health of waterfront neighborhoods. As climate change drives sea level rise and raises groundwater tables, new questions are emerging about what happens when these contaminated sites meet a changing shoreline. In this episode of Terra Verde, host and producer Hannah Wilton speaks with Kevin G. Ruano Hernandez of Richmond Shoreline Alliance and Makayla Marquez of San Francisco Baykeeper about environmental justice, shoreline contamination, and efforts to build more resilient waterfront communities in the face of climate change. The conversation explores Richmond's industrial history and the ongoing challenges posed by contaminated sites such as the United Heckathorn Superfund site and the former Zeneca chemical facility. To learn more, consider joining Richmond Shoreline Alliance and local environmental justice leaders for a Toxic Tour of the former Zeneca site. You can also report pollution concerns to SF Baykeeper through its pollution hotline 1-800-KEEP-BAY. The post Toxic Legacies on the San Francisco Bay Shoreline appeared first on KPFA.

Raw Gas LIVE @ Energie Shoreline by Dj Sheldon Papp

On this episode, my guest is Dr. Devon Taylor, the President of the Jamaica Beach Birthright Environmental Movement (JaBBEM), an advocacy group founded in 2022 that fights for equitable beach access and environmental justice in Jamaica. He is a Biomedical Research Scientist and environmental and social justice advocate who leads efforts to repeal the colonial-era Beach Control Act of 1956, which he describes as discriminatory and a barrier to public access.JABBEM uses legal tools, including the Prescription Act of 1882, to establish long-standing community rights to beaches and rivers. The group is currently involved in multiple court cases, including those concerning Bob Marley Beach, Little Dunn's River, and Flanker/Providence Beach, to secure public access and prevent privatization by luxury resorts like Sandals.Dr. Taylor emphasizes that beach access is a fundamental human right and reparative justice issue, arguing that Jamaica's beaches—national treasures—should be accessible to all Jamaicans, not just tourists. He calls for government action to replace outdated laws with modern legislation that ensures constitutional protection for public access and sustainable management of coastal resources.Show Notes* The violence and displacement from which JaBBEM emerged* The Beach Control Act of 1956* Coastal colonialism / plantation tourism* Shoreline personhood and the birth of humanity* The medicinal space of the sea* Taking the fight to the courts in Jamaica* Pan-Caribbean solidarity and dilemmas* Critical mass: advice for guests/touristsHomeworkJabbem - Website - Instagram - Facebook - YouTubeStronger Caribbean TogetherTranscriptChris: [00:00:00] Welcome Dr. Taylor, to the End of Tourism Podcast. Thank you for being willing to join me today. And I'm wondering to start, if you could share with our listeners where you're sitting today and what the world looks like there for you where you are.Devon: Yeah. You know, funny enough, I'm sitting just outside of Washington, DC today.Chris: Oh.Devon: You know, I just got back from Jamaica. All right. And I'm just outside the capital of the “free world” today. Yeah, but Jamaica is home, so we just got back from some community service work, advocacy work. And I'm happy to engage the End of Tourism audience and share what the experience and the livity of the Jamaican people is like.Chris: Hmm. Thank you, Dr. Taylor. As far as I understand, you are the president of Jabbem, the Jamaica Beach Birthright [00:01:00] Environmental Movement, which was founded in 2022 as “a grassroots organization acutely aware of the adverse effects of misguided development and environmental injustices to beaches, beach property, and sensitive terrestrial ecosystems” And so I'd like to ask you, Devin, a bit about your story, about how and why Jabbem was created, if I can.Devon: Yeah. So my story is the story of my community - my community of Steer Town, a coastal community that I grew up in, but that's also the story of the descendants of enslaved Africans, really, and a former slave plantation known as Jamaica, right?There's a history that is rooted in displacement, disposition, and disempowerment of a people, you know. [00:02:00] So, Jabbem is a response to continued injustice, injustice not only to black bodies, you know what I mean? And the indigenous ones, the Tainos who were there first, right? But also the desecration of land, right?Land have a relationship with human beings and with indigenous people, and we have a relationship with land. But all that get disturbed, through this “development.” So, you know, myself, my community, experienced that displacement and disposition and disempowerment in 2019, at the heights of COVID.When our childhood beach that our community has been using for more than a hundred years, you know, we were displaced from it. And the displacement. It's around 29 acres of beachfront land that the community... as an extension of our community that we use for everything, everything that Jamaicans use the beach [00:03:00] for, right? You know, recreation, fishing, spirituality, I mean, courtship, artisan work, farming you know all that space that offers a multitude of opportunities, multitude of possibilities, right, which made it that node, that connectivity to the community of Steer Town, to the community of Chalky Hill, to the community of Epworth and Davis Town and, you know, parts of, and tourism mecca of Ocho Rios. You know what I mean? This is what this space represented. It was a community that birthed ideas and continual livity of our people.And we were displaced from it, displaced from it by force. You know, a force that was part of the state, the Jamaican police, private security, the political class. It was violent. It was a very [00:04:00] violent displacement. And so, if you have ever experienced disposition and displacement, it unsettles you. It arms you. You know, I mean, you are rattled, right?And so, we had to figure out how this happened and how we need to move, because we're a resilient people, we never give up. This is where we're able to survive 500 years of chattel slavery. So, it took us a minute to kinda understand what was happening and knowing that we have to move from the grassroots. We have to come together in solidarity and farm something that could push back at our displacement. So Jabbem was born through state-sponsored violence and private violence, the displacement of communities from beach ecosystems, from the sea, in that time.Chris: Thank you for that, Dr. Taylor. You know, you mentioned 2019 as a kind [00:05:00] of watershed moment for your community and for the creation of Jabbem. But of course most people have some understanding that the tourism industry has a long history on the island, in Jamaica. And there's something that arises quite a bit in the work of your organization and in the interviews and in the media that's come out, and specifically around a law that was created or enacted in 1956, The Beach Control Act in Jamaica. And so, I'm wondering if you would be willing to offer up a little bit about this law, why it's so infamous in your country and maybe a little something of what was happening in Jamaica before 2019 and perhaps since that act, that law was created in the fifties.Devon: Yeah. The struggle for beach rights, you know, access to the beaches use of the sea [00:06:00] is historical, right? There are giants before my time who stood in the fight. You know what I mean? We had Dr. Carolyn Cooper, you know what I mean, very instrumental. John Maxwell. We have Kabu Ma'at Kheru. We have Esther Figueroa and many other Jamaicans who lend their voice to a struggle, observing and seeing that, with every new hotel that's built, every new villa that's built, every new guest house that's built, is a loss of the Jamaican people to really continue to enjoy spaces that they have been doing since childhood. Right.You know, as you mentioned, there's a long history of tourism in Jamaica. Yes, there is. I mean, Jamaica is still a colony of England. The King Charles is still the king of Jamaica, right? With all that said, Jamaica does have its prime minister who runs the country, and the king don't really get in his way, so all the experiences of the Jamaican people now is [00:07:00] actually a product of the political class that is running the country.And the tourism model at one point was more integrated, right? There was more a blend of locals and visitors traversing in beaches and enjoying these spaces, walking around in the country, participating in other cultural activities that are not based along the beach, right? You would come into villages, enjoy villages. You know, that was true for, also, my community. My community was close to a couple of these hotels and guest houses at the time. Many members in our community work in these spaces. Some of those tourists would venture up into the village and enjoy all that we offer, you know, in the Jamaican life.I should point out that musical albums, between Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones was made with members of of the Steer Town community. “Wingless Angel” is the name of that album.So this was a time when it was more [00:08:00] of that kind of integration. But the colony that Jamaica is right, and just pre-independence, Jamaica became independent in 1962... a law was passed in 1956 just on the eve of independence, which you alluded to earlier - The Beach Control Act of 1956 - and we're still trying to fully grasp why there was a need to put a law in place that says that no Jamaicans have the right to the foreshore, or the floor of the sea and was translated by the head of the National Environment and Planning A gency (NEPA), that we do not have the right to swim, to bathe, to fish, to walk along the foreshore. All those rights are vested in the government, in what they basically call “the crown,” controls all that kind of things. And the thinking we are trying to understand, is that the [00:09:00] result is very clear, that it's stripped us of any inherent rights to the foreshore. Stripped us.And very important for accessing beaches is the rights, the land. So you cannot get to the beach or the sea without traversing land.Chris: Right.Devon: And so this legislation, really inherently, did not give us any land rights. And that is what you know happened post-emancipation. There was never any reparative justice around the rights of descendants of enslaved Africans to land, where compensation was given to the enslavers. They got millions and millions of dollars when slavery was abolished. There was no compensation to the descendants in any form. No rights to land, no distribution of land, nothing [00:10:00] that was constitutionally put in place, nothing for provisions were made. In fact, the secretary of the islands made sure that they put tariffs so high on government land that the descendants could not afford them.So it kept the Jamaican people, and for that case, most of the Caribbean Islands' peoples, landless, right? So we walk out of slavery as a homeless people, despite the many rebellions and revolutions that were fought by our ancestors to free our people. You know, the powers to be never gave us any of that rights to land.And so, the 1956 Beach Control Act is consistent with colonial logic of dispossession and disempowerment.Chris: Wow.Devon: And that's what that legislation has really done to us.Chris: Wow. Yeah. I mean some of the statistics that have [00:11:00] come up in Jabbem's research is that at least 35% of Jamaica's GDP is tourism, that 25% of all jobs on the island are tourism-based jobs, that 70% of tourism dollars go to foreign investors while only 10% goes to the community and 20% going to the government. Then finally, less than 1% and maybe less of Jamaica's shoreline is accessible to Jamaicans.You refer to this, I think as coastal colonialism. Is that right, Devin?Devon: Yeah, it is coastal colonialism. It's a kind of plantation tourism, right? And the numbers speak, for themselves. I mean, they're very consistent with colonial logic around ownership of land, possession of land, what land is used for, and who the [00:12:00] usage of land benefits. The resources of the land benefit the colonial master. Of course, in this case, it is the government of Jamaica with it's elite. You know, the elites are sometimes Jamaican. Sometimes they're multinational corporations. So all of these kind of things are linked to plantation tourism and the exploitation of labour. Now there's no way that you can have, in 2024, a tourism product made 4.3 billion US dollars, and more than 3 billion of it, did not stay in Jamaica. It may not even enter the country, because of the way all these transactions are done. You could book your tour from overseas, pay for your hotel from overseas, you pay for your flight, you pay all these things. So those dollars does not even enter the country.Even many of the Jamaican tours, their banking companies are in international spaces. Many of these entities are the owners of these hotel, these [00:13:00] corporations, also registered in other countries. You'll have some of them registered in other Caribbean islands, St. Lucia and other tax havens across the planet. So, I mean, all of these things are very similar to the way that the plantation work.And then of course the workers and the exploitations of the worker, being paid very low wages, wages that are not livable wages. I mean, they're overworked. And so, the whole thing is consistent just the way the plantation works, right? And so we have to call it what it is. And at the same time, you work at the hotel and you can't enjoy the beach, right? Not while you're working there. Neither can you go home and say, “I'm taking my family of five to where I work, and I'm gonna put my towel down on the beach and take a swim, or I'm going to go roll out, and I'm going to fish.So I mean, the whole model, as to how it's constructed right now is very [00:14:00] oppressive, and is a continuation of the systems of oppressions that were characteristic of the plantation. So it makes it a plantation tourism model that the Jamaican government is supporting. And it is the government of the country because as you mentioned, you know less than 1% of beaches in the country is accessible by the Jamaicans, right?The country, the island is 494 miles around right now. 150 miles of it is technically sandy, right? Most of it is are rocky terrain, but the rocky terrains are beautiful terrains. You know, these are terrains that we all meditations from. You know what I mean, we go fish at, you find your moment in these spaces and they're becoming far and few, and that is supported by just the way all the legislation is constructed, and no government in the history of [00:15:00] “independent Jamaica” from 62, right... The law will be on the book for 70 years, and none of them changed that law to empower the Jamaican people with inherent rights.Not just to... because I know sometimes the reasoning is that, “well, we just wanna go to the beach to swim.”Well, we are thinking about a new imagination of our relationship with the coastline that we have been having for many, many, many decades.It wasn't just swimming.You know? No, no, no. It's beyond that.So, they may project that that's all we need: is just to go into the water.Right? I mean, absolutely. That's part of it. Absolutely we need to go there where our deads were washed upon the shores from these slave ships, that many were thrown overboard, many jumped overboard.But livity along the coastline for fisher folks, for vendors, for those who harvest [00:16:00] seaweed, right? For those baptisms, for the artists who get their inspiration there, for farmers who farm there, all of these possibilities, that we used to use the space for.We are saying that we should be able to continue doing so. Right? And we are fighting for this kind of a justice in this space.Chris: Wow. I mean, this is a theme, a through line, that that comes up in so many of the conversations I have with people like yourself who are fighting for land and land rights in their homes, in their places.It seems there's so much in common. One of the strange things... I don't know how strange it is really, but I was reading recently on the history of what they call “the enclosure of the commons” in Britain from I think the 13th or 14th century on, and how slowly, little by little, the rich landowner started kind of carving away, the land from the peasants and forcing them into the [00:17:00] towns and cities to work for wages, essentially, and to undermine, not only their ancestral relationships with the land, the places where they're dead were buried for many, many centuries, but also the kind of lived spiritual relationship they have with it. Right.And so, this is something that I've seen on Jabbem's website regarding the organization's principle goals. And that one of them is “the promotion of environmental personhood to beaches, selected rivers and important land formations to protect nature for future generations and to safeguard the intrinsic value of nature by recognizing them [that's the beaches, the selected rivers, and land] as living entities.”Now, I think this is something that's a common understanding, if not something that ecologists and environmentalists today campaign for, which is giving waterways and [00:18:00] land rights, but also legal and judicial protections.And so I'm curious, how do you think giving legally-bound personhood to land and water could change the lives or the relationships that travellers and local people have to those places?You know, when we come to live our lives in the presence of rivers and beaches and land as alive and sentient and as having history, their own personal history, how do you think our relationships to places might change, either as tourists or locals.Devon: Yeah. I mean these ideas are not distant to the human consciousness, because it was like that in the beginning. If we look at the scientific history of earth, right? You know, the sea, oceans are the birthplace of humanity. We crawled out the [00:19:00] sea onto land, and where did we enter first? It was on the shoreline?So, historically, ancient shoreline is the birthplace of humanity. And we just imagine, what happened in that space was the beauty of evolution. Evolution, physically. Evolution, spiritually. Evolution, in all ways and form you could think of. That space was a space of a multitude of births and rebirths. A space of energy, that led to all that we know it right now - plants and animal life, running around and terra firma.So I mean, that recognizes that this space of a right to exist because without it, I mean, I and I would not be in existence in this present formation. So it's not really a kind of thinking that is outside of the grasp of humanity. [00:20:00] It's just that a version of humanity turned its back against nature, you know, to degrade it, to use it without recognizing the relationship that it had with us.And so to really raise these ideas, that the space has its own consciousness, has its own intrinsic value, has its own understanding of I and I, knowing what I needed within such time. Give it to I so that I could thrive and manifest. So it did its work and it continues to do its work. It's just that humanity, a version of humanity, is robbing the space of its ability to continue to serve as a crucible for next generation, even the protection of the planet Earth.And you will hear it all the while that the shoreline is very important to protect us against the fallout of climate change, in terms of [00:21:00] protecting land. You know, we hear those words, but we don't live those words. So I think the recognition of personhood status to these kinds of ecosystem will bring us back to our relationship with the land, whereas we are custodian of it and it is custodian of us. And so that kind of duality, between man and environment can reign again, so the environment can serve its role in the next phase of human consciousness, right? It's not just a space to degrade, but it offers many things. I'm sure you go to the beach and when you go to the beach, you're alive. And you feel more alive when you go to a beach that is rustic, that when you look around you, you hear the sounds of nature. You can feel the beauty of that sun under your foot, and the smell that you are smelling is smell of a natural coastal forest, a natural ocean. You're not smelling [00:22:00] chlorine or suntans, or you're not hearing the bustling of engine mechanizations. You know what I mean? All what we have created in these spaces, right?You're not seeing the beautiful crabs run, the crustaceans in the space. You're not seeing the vibrancy of all the creatures that live in the ocean at near shore, because you take out hectares of grass beds, which is necessary for replenishing life.You know, the ocean produce more oxygen than the land, because earth is more than 70% water. So the importance there of understanding personhood status is for us to understand our livity and our life is critically linked to this space. And that's what we're trying to say.Understand this space for what it meant for human evolution, what it means for our continued survival, [00:23:00] and allow it to do so, but we have to give it that kinda legal protection. We have to make generations coming on board understand what it is in terms of how critical it is for livity.My work is based in the gift economy. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Chris: Wow. That's beautiful.Yeah. Thank you so much Dr. Taylor. When I think about all the times that I spent on beaches, I mean maybe not as many as other people, but I also think about how much, in our time, in the last few generations that so many people go to the beach to relax. And you know, as far as I know, this wasn't a very common thing around the world before the Industrial Revolution - to go to the beach to relax, at least en masse, at least with so many people. And it makes me wonder, what might be happening mythically or mythologically or mythopoetically, when people go to the beach, they lie down in front of the [00:24:00] sun and in front of the ocean, and in terms of what you were saying, I always wondered, this seems like a kind of devotion that people are almost, in a religious way, devoting their bodies to being in this place with the sun and the ocean.But also in this place, as you mentioned, just between the ocean and the land. Right. The shoreline. And while it seems like a kind of religious devotion, maybe the fact that it's kind of commodified and industrialized and manipulated in such a way so that people don't recognize the life or lives of the shoreline, of the rivers, of the beach, of the ocean, et cetera, that there's something in there that humans are longing to express, but it gets turned into this really, really strange and almost demented form of, you know, “oh, take my picture and let's put it on Instagram” and all that kind of thing, right?So yeah, thank you for that, Devin. It was really beautiful to [00:25:00] hear.And for our listeners who can see some of the work that Jabbem is doing on their website, there are many, many campaigns that your organization is involved in in Jamaica, and some of them involve court cases, but I'm curious if you'd be willing to comment, I guess, on how your organization, how your team has been dealing with the campaigns, what kind of successes or failures, what kind of learning has come your way. What can you tell us about the work that you've been doing with the people on the ground there and what, if any kind of successes you've had so far.Devon: Yeah. Yeah. So, so we have just been around like four years now. This is our fourth year. Right. You know, kinda listening to how you were kinda talking about the reverence when one goes into these spaces, because the sea is medicine. It's a medicine space. And I think that's why a lot of people gravitate towards it. And what we are trying to do [00:26:00] is saying that everyone should be able to experience their birthplace, which is the foreshore, right? And so our fight and our struggle is that, as the United Nation Convention and the Law of the Sea puts it, the sea is the common heritage of humankind. So what we are doing is consistent with what the United Nation goal, that this space, this sea, this ocean, these rivers are common edge heritage of humanity. And so, we must be able to access them, engage them, we must be able to experience them and they must remain protected for all generations.So, Jabbem's campaign on the ground are not campaigns that are just for the liberation of the communities, where these beaches are. But it's for the community of humanity, that when they come into our country, they will experience the ecological heritage of the country, not [00:27:00] restricted by how much money you have in your pocket, by how much you could pay to go to one of these all inclusive hotels. Or one of these high-end villas that are encroaching in the sea, or any of these hotels that they are now building in the sea, is that you could've travelled from another country to experience what the foreshore and the sea - which is your heritage, as a human - in Jamaica.So the campaign, we are fighting for liberation of the coastline, right? So we have five of these cases right now in the Jamaican court system, right? Yeah. We have the case fighting for Bob Marley Beach. I mean, I could speak uniquely to what these spaces symbolize, about what they have been for the Jamaican people. You know, that particular beach has been a space where Rastafari, who are oppressed in Jamaica as a black liberation movement, with its central spiritual nucleus being [00:28:00] Emperor Haile Selassie I. That beach was the cradle of where thoughts and ideas were born in versions of Rastafari, and we had to move into protect that space because ultra-luxury hotels is slated to be built here that was going to displace the community. And so, that fight continues, right?We have the fightof Mammee Bay, which is my childhood space. As we explained to you earlier, you know, more than a hundred years of usage within this space, an extension of our community. It's a space that provide livity for many, right?And we speak to Blue Lagoon, right? Very historical, very beautiful mix of salt and fresh water, which many underground springs being fed from the Blue Mountain, a space that was used by the indigenous Tainos and Africans used this space for spirituality, for food, for all that you could imagine beyond recreation. This space is being commandeered by elite private interests.We have that in the court. We're fighting [00:29:00] our own government for liberation of the Blue Lagoon, which is a national monument, which would means that, “oh, can a national monument be privatized?”But Jamaican laws allow for this to happen. And if we don't fight to protect the space for humanity, then you may not be able to see this majestic space.It is the same that is true for a Little Dunn's River. Again, the intersection of a beautiful waterfalls with the Caribbean Sea, that was occupied by Rastafari from in the fifties. This space is majestic. You know, the rush of the water, the sound that we hear in this space, just brings you to these meditative spaces. You know, feel the blend of sea water meeting fresh water and how that turns into the warmth. Right. It is just beautiful.We are fighting for that and we are fighting... you know, our newest case is in Providence/F lanker in Montego Bay. One of the tours in mecca, which, you know, the hotel [00:30:00] giant, Sandal Resort International, applied to the National Environmental Planning Agency for a permit to build hotel rooms in the sea and to build villas on this land.And so we are in the courts trying to defend that, because when we lose these spaces, right, it's not just Jamaicans lose. It's just not, you know, “we have been ripped from our culture.” I mean, it's that humankind loses. Humankind loses.You know, it's cultural desecration, right? It's exploitation. It's a form of capitalism that see the concentration of wealth in the hands of few people. And the exploitation of labour and, degradation of coastal forests.So we are fighting with communities, so the way we work, every community that we go into expresses their willingness to protect their spaces. I mean, most of the time they reach out, because we're grassroots. You know, we're not a NGO. We don't [00:31:00] operate and move like these spaces. We are truly community-run. You know, as members from the community that leads up those fights. And we collaborate and we build, because we are one people. And the struggle is led by these communities. You know, I mean, we are just networking the struggle across the island, just as the struggle for people across Earth is always finding brotherhood, sisterhood, and connection in the struggle for liberation.Chris: Amen. Amen, brother. I'm curious as well if that solidarity has reached beyond the island's shoreline, if you have any brothers and sisters that you've been working with in other Caribbean islands or other countries to forward the cause.Devon: Yeah, man. Yeah, man. We work very closely with Stronger Caribbean Together Network. It's a network with other Caribbean countries who are undergoing similar things, similar land struggles for coastal spaces all across the [00:32:00] Caribbean. You know, so while Jamaica has this Beach Control Act that gives us no inherent right to access the beaches and to use the sea, most of the other Caribbean islands, you can access the foreshore, and you can use the sea.All right. You know, Jamaica is one of the unique countries that does that. It's not withstanding though that the tourism product across the Caribbean is now where most Caribbean economies are moving towards in terms of investment. So, they are building out these hotels and these overwater bungalows across the Caribbean, which is impacting lives and livelihood as well, because yes, you can go on some of these beaches, but you can't truly enjoy them in their fullness. And they are building on these beaches, as well, which is also causing environmental issue.So, I mean, it's funny that the commonality among Caribbean Islands, since the time of enslavement was plantation [00:33:00] economy, based on sugar and cotton and rum and all these things. And that was not good for us. And the region now is moving towards a very similar tourism model, that doesn't pay its people as much. Seeing these lands, coastal lands, being owned by private interests, that is actually displacing the indigenous population, and the descendants of enslaved Africans from these spaces. So we're not really benefitting at scale to the kind of tourism that is coming into the Caribbean.I mean, I think you are in Mexico, you are seeing it in different parts of Mexico too. I mean, wealthy people come and buy coastal lands or, lease them, I guess in the case of Mexico, of a slightly different kind of law where you, I don't think you can own coastal lands. I mean, you have a right to beach, but there are barriers that are put in place that makes it difficult for you to sometimes traverse these spaces. And they're intentional. [00:34:00] All right. You know, I mean, we have experienced them in Puerto Rico as well. You know, we're seeing them emerging in places like Costa Rica and and in St. Lucia.In spaces, they're wide open, but in spaces you can see the creep is coming, Because there's a thing about capitalism where when it comes in, it takes everything. It swallows everything. It's not a good political economic model, that takes the environment into consideration as to what it gives back to humanity.So it takes, and it takes, and it takes, and that's not the sustainability that you will hear being preached on the planet. If we truly want to be sustainable, then the environment must have as much rights as a moving animal. It was here [00:35:00] before I and I. Earth existed before I and I. So, all I and I come, in the context of Earth, and treated Earth like it's a second class entity in existence. It must be afforded that right.I mean, it's only 3% of the planet that is water, fresh water. So, we know water is a very essential source for life. So we cannot allow this to be controlled. Access to the sea, access to the oceans, must not be controlled by no entity. We must freely move in these spaces. So Jabbem is at the view also that all coastal land must be public land. You know, must be public land.Chris: Yeah. I mean, I completely agree, you know, that offering rights in these regards can definitely change our understanding of how we are with land, of how we [00:36:00] are with other people. And I think that in order for the function of rights to work that we need to undertake a degree of responsibility for how we are with the land, with each other and the way we implement those rights.And you know, it's been a great pleasure to speak with you Dr. Taylor. I know we're just running out of time now. Before we finish off, I'd like to ask in regards to those responsibilities, you know, I'm sure this conversation or question has come up many times for you and your team, your people there on the island.If local people have a responsibility to their homes, to their places, to how they live and even host in those places, then what do you think the responsibilities are of the guest, of what we would otherwise call the tourists in our time? What do you think their responsibilities are when, either coming to your island or just even thinking of planning a vacation, because I've had many guests on the podcast who are [00:37:00] fighting similar fights as you and your people are.Some of them say, “please come, please come, and we'll figure it out.”And some of them say, “please don't come. This is not the time.”So I'm curious what those conversations like look like with Jabbem.Devon: Yeah. Yeah. No, it's a good question, because we know that there are some countries that too much tourists goes there, and it has a critical mass that it can't take anymore. And so there's need to kind of regulate the number of people.You know, Jamaica's not at that point right now. And myself and our team believe in freedom of movement. We see this as a world without borders, despite how politicians, and kings, have drawn artificial borders across the world to limit all your move, and requires visa to go in spaces and validation, that you can afford your stay within spaces. Yeah. We don't have that view still, you know. Those kind of views are colonial logic, because [00:38:00] if that unconsciousness was birthed in humanity, then the migration of I and I outside of Africa would never have happened, and would've never had the multitude of nations that make this planet a very beautiful space. So freedom of movement is something that we cherish. So come to Jamaica.What we would say is that you need to do your homework. You don't want to participate in injustice. You don't want to participate in discrimination. You don't want to participate in displacement and disempowerment of people, so do your homework. Before you come to Jamaica, look where you are staying. And check out whether or not these communities can freely access these beaches, use the sea, whether these fishing communities are thriving, as they were before, whether or not workers are compensated enough, whether the social health of the [00:39:00] community where this hotel is is good, whether or not the space that you are actually coming to is degraded. I think these are question for you to ask yourself.I would say you boycott those spaces, because I think one thing that the capitalists understand is that when his money is in danger, his behaviour changes. He first gets violent. He first gets violent and come after you, which would be we the people, but if we have the protection of the international community who is demanding a more equitable and just product interact with, a product that is fierce. So you can't be charging me $3000-$6,000 to stay in a hotel room or $500 to stay in a hotel room, but you're paying your people minimum wages that are, I think, $15,000 Jamaican dollar might be a hundred US dollars a week. You know, I mean, that is labour exploitation.“ Then I'm not going to go there. I'm gonna participate in some other products across the island.”[00:40:00] I know Airbnb have their own sets of issues, but though that's a growing space in Jamaica. Small mom-and-pop establishments that are there. So it might not be easy, but search them out, you know?And we are getting ready to actually help the international community by importing some of that resources on our page, so you could see places that you could stay. So we are saying, being responsible, be responsible in your travels.And when you come, venture out. You know, come amongst our people, come experience the real Jamaican culture. You know, those things are important because tourism is an educational thing, right? It's idea sharing, right? It is cultural exchange, right? It's getting to feel outside of your normal space and getting to a new mindset to understand how other people are living around the world, and what adjustment you can make in your life. What can you impart? What can you take back? And these things are important for the [00:41:00] growth of humanity, for us to understand each other. I think these things prevent wars and conflicts. But contrary, you know, I mean, what we see world leaders are doing is driving domination of particular cultures, domination of particular economic systems that are unjust.And Jamaica is still growing. We still have a lot to offer to the world. We provide real good, music to the world, but we are beyond music. You know what I mean? We are very creative people of just a lot of goodness and a lot of niceness. So come to Jamaica, but you know what I mean? Be responsible in your travel and seek out the spaces that are equitable and just, and help in our struggle, advocate on our behalf in the international community for the repeal and replacement of the Beach Control Act of 1956, for different tourism models to come into play.Chris: Mm mm mm Thank you, Dr. Taylor. Our listeners can find out more about [00:42:00] the actions and campaigns on the Jabbem website, jabbem.org, if I'm not mistaken.Devon: That's it.Chris: And I believe on Instagram as well.Devon: JabbemJabbem on Instagram. We are also on Facebook and on your Tiktoks, and all your other spaces. You know, I mean, and reach out to us. We have a GoFundMe page where we are trying to raise money for legal struggles.You know, we have many more cases that we need to push forward to protect communities. So if you want to help out, you know check us out on GoFundMe there.And when you come to Jamaica, just link us up and we'll bring it to couple of the spaces and in some of the communities then you'll get the real Jamaica, you know?Chris: So, I'll make sure that all those links are up on the End of Tourism website and Substack page when the episode launches. And on behalf of our listeners, Devin, I'd like to wish you an amazing, amazing day and to your team, to your organization. It seems like you're doing incredible work and with a really grounded and [00:43:00] equally political and spiritual basis or foundation for the way that you and your team walk in the world.I'm very, very grateful for that and for your time today. So, I wish you also the best of luck in the so-called, capital of the free world there, and all the best.Devon: Yeah, man. Give thanks. Give thanks, Chris, and give thanks to you and your team for having us. Give thanks.My work is based in the gift economy.

Just a few years ago, you'd be hard-pressed to find ribbed mussels in the area.

Montrose Beach in Chicago was raised from landfill. Cricket Hill has a surprising origin story. The Dock was once a Cold War command center and the quiet bird sanctuary nearby grew out of land that once held radar towers and housed military personnel. Montrose Harbor is a reminder that places evolve, they carry layers of history — some visible, some buried, some forgotten — and all of them shape the way we experience Chicago today. That's what I like to think about when I'm walking around the city. How every part of our city has a story if you pause long enough to notice.#nike #missils #coldwar #cricket #birdsanctuary #migratory #birdwatching #chicagoskyline #chicago #beach #harbor

We dive into the emotional weight of the record, the questions it wrestles with, and how the album captures moments of reflection, uncertainty, and growth.Hansol shares insight into the writing process, the mindset behind shaping the album, and how these songs came together as a cohesive body of work. Our conversation also touches on vulnerability, perspective, and what it means to sit with discomfort while continuing to move forward creatively.Shoreline Socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shoreline_band/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shorelinepunkTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@shorelinebandSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/7xEYYE03vzoSMyC2AVRnD0?si=3d15c3375a1b440fApple Music:https://music.apple.com/us/artist/shoreline-band/896157186

We discuss the ongoing Iran war, AI targetting civilians in war, the Texas GOP has gotten crazier and scientists apparently haven't been measuring sea level correctly.

Josue Gimbernard of miniBIOTA discusses his various tank builds that links with each other, interconnecting energy, water, and nutrients that circulate on their own. We also talk about the story of how he got started into this project and the inspiration behind the different ecosystems. Josue goes into detail on his miniBiota tanks including the Freshwater Lake, The Shoreline, The Coastal, and The Seagrass Meadow Biomes, including their atmospheres, reservoirs, balance in moisture, and temperature/humidity setups. These tanks are incredibly in-depth and detailed in their construction to be as close to outdoor nature as possible and is an episode to tune into if you're curious about the science behind an ecosystem like these!SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/244-minibiota/SPONSORS: Visit The BioDude: https://www.thebiodude.com/ Visit Zoo Med Labs here: https://zoomed.com/JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:MiniBiota Website: https://www.minibiota.com/MiniBiota YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@minibiota MiniBiota Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/minibiotaMiniBiota Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/miniBIOTAPhotos and Video in Episode:MiniBiota YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@miniBIOTA⁩  We Discuss:0:00 Introducing Josue Gimberard of MiniBiota1:05 Coming Up: The Bio Dude1:41 Coming Up: Zoo Med2:01 Welcome Josue + His Career Path7:11 Josue's Motivations for His Enclosures10:52 Layout and Components of Josue's Tanks14:59 Replicating Ecosystems16:28 Atmosphere + Reservoir Constructions in the Tanks21:30 Size of Atmosphere Thoughts23:18 Cooling or Heating the Atmosphere29:33 Creating The Rain Effect32:23 Avoiding Slime Bacteria33:29 The Bio Dude Substrates + Bug Grub34:30 The Lake Biome43:18 The Shoreline Biome49:30 Balance in Moisture for Terrestrial Biomes51:31 Soil Depth in Grassland + The Mangrove Forest Biome59:52 Managing Temperature/Humidity Probes1:09:48 Potential Salt Problems + Salt Obstacle Course Plans1:15:22 The Coastal Biome1:19:13 The Seagrass Meadow Biome1:23:59 Risk of Salinity Problems + Maintaining Balance1:25:55 Lighting Systems + Future Lighting Plans1:30:56 Will The Tanks Ever Be “Finished”?1:35:15 Zoo Med Jumping Spider Kit1:36:21 Inspirations + Mental Load of Josue's Projects1:45:39 3D Printing Uses1:50:13 Closing Thoughts

The primary focus of today's discussion centers on the severe weather conditions impacting various regions across the United States, with particular emphasis on the blizzard warnings currently in effect for Alaska. I delineate the perilous situation along the Bering Strait coast, where visibility has been markedly reduced, creating treacherous travel conditions. Furthermore, I address the persistent lake effect snow advisories affecting parts of central New York, which pose significant challenges during the morning commute. We also touch upon the high surf advisory in Hawaii, cautioning against strong currents that may endanger those on the east-facing shores. Additionally, I highlight the recent updates issued by FEMA concerning flood maps for Cochise County, Arizona, urging residents to familiarize themselves with the new information to better understand their flood risk.Takeaways:* Alaska currently faces severe blizzard warnings, significantly impairing visibility and travel safety.* The Great Lakes region continues to experience persistent lake effect snow, affecting morning commutes.* In Hawaii, a high surf advisory is in effect, creating hazardous conditions along east facing shores.* FEMA has issued updated flood maps for Cochise County, necessitating local residents to review their risk assessments.* The National Weather Service anticipates additional winter weather advisories for Central New York into the afternoon.* Overall, there are no significant updates from other states affecting national weather conditions today.Sources[NWS Fairbanks Blizzard Warnings | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=blizzard+warning][NWS Map (example: Gambell) | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=63.37539&lon=-171.715146][FEMA — Cochise County Flood Maps Update | https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20260211/fema-updates-flood-maps-cochise-county][NWS Honolulu — Coastal Hazard Message | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=HFO&product=CFW&site=hfo][NWS (Albany text feed for advisory counties) | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=aly&wwa=winter+weather+advisory] This is a public episode.

Join The Journey Jr. is designed to help parents guide their kids in Bible reading through interactive and age-specific lessons. In 2026, we're studying the book of Acts—one passage per week. For another year, teaching on Sunday will align with each week's passage. Then, for the next six days, we'll return to the same passage with fresh focus, exploring insights about who God is and how we can enjoy him more deeply. Monday through Saturday, we'll approach the same passage from a different perspective each day—whether observation, interpretation, prayer, or another spiritual practice—to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for God's Word. Then, watch or listen to the video podcast to tackle the week's toughest verses and discover key historical, theological, and practical insights. Daily Bible lessons for adults: https://jointhejourney.com Daily Bible lessons for parents and families: https://jointhejourney.com/jr Weekly Bible podcast for kids: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...  // MORE RESOURCES FROM JOIN THE JOURNEY:  Digital Bible study resources: https://jointhejourney.com/resources Previous years' print curriculum: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Waterma...
