More than 170 countries gathered recently to discuss how to save wetlands, which are critical ecosystems. However, the U.S. was a no-show for most of the summit and Russia said it will withdraw from the wetlands treaty. Wetlands are a crucial element of all life on Earth, supplying fresh water, oxygen, habitat, and food. The […]
In this episode of NDO Podcast, we visit with Bill Haase, Department wildlife division chief, and John Palarski, Department migratory game bird biologist, to break down the new nonresident waterfowl regulations, how we arrived here and what the future might hold for waterfowl hunting in North Dakota.
This episode of the Crux True Survival Story Podcast, hosted by Kaycee McIntosh, recounts the harrowing tale of Eric Murda, a 43-year-old irrigation contractor from Sarasota. On July 17, 2022, Eric's routine day turned into a nightmare when a seven-foot alligator attacked him while he swam across Lake Manatee in Florida. The attack resulted in Eric losing his arm, leading to a grueling 72-hour survival ordeal in the harsh Florida swamp. He faced severe blood loss, venomous snakes, disease-carrying water, and other predators. Despite being disoriented and gravely injured, Eric's mental resilience and instinctive survival skills allowed him to navigate through dense vegetation, signal for help, and eventually find rescue. His story underscores the importance of preparation, mental fortitude, and situational awareness in wilderness survival. The episode also touches on winter travel preparation and survival strategies, reflecting on another tragic survival story and discussing improvements in search and rescue protocols. 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast 00:49 Setting the Scene: A Deadly Encounter 02:07 Eric Murda's Fateful Decision 04:36 The Alligator Attack 08:29 Surviving the Swamp 19:20 The Psychological Battle 21:56 Lessons in Wilderness Survival 24:42 Necrotizing Fasciitis and Waterborne Pathogens 25:06 Venomous Snakes: A Deadly Threat 26:37 Survival Skills: Plant Identification and Shelter 28:39 Eric's Final Push to Civilization 30:07 Medical Challenges and Psychological Transformation 31:31 Lessons from Eric's Ordeal 33:05 Eric's New Role as a Motivational Speaker 34:22 Podcast Outro and Listener Engagement
Buying land? Skip the septic due diligence and you could light $30,000–$40,000 on fire. In this episode, host Mac Christian sits down with Tyler Sgro, President & CEO of Davis Horizons (licensed professional soil classifier), and Robert Waddell of National Land Realty to lay out—in plain English—how septic systems make or break raw land purchases. We cut through the hype on septic vs. sewer, conventional (non‑engineered) vs. engineered systems, and the real drivers of cost: soil texture, seasonal high water table/zone of saturation, space constraints, topography, and bedroom count. You'll get a straight answer on the “perc (perk) test” vs. soil test debate (hint: in South Carolina it's a soil classification that matters), plus what actually happens in the drain field, how septic tanks work, and the maintenance that keeps systems from failing. What you'll learn (without the sales pitch): When a lot truly supports a conventional drain field and when you'll need an engineered/pre‑treatment system—and why engineered isn't “bad,” it's just different. Budgeting that doesn't blow up: why a soil test before closing protects you from $30k–$40k surprises; typical pump‑out costs (~$500 every 3–5 years); realistic lifespans (conventional ~30–50 years; treatment systems ~20–30 years). How bedroom count dictates system size (plan for more bedrooms now; you can scale down later) and the regulatory planning number of ~120 gallons/day per bedroom. Mounded fill vs. pre‑treatment: footprint trade‑offs, aesthetics, and costs in shallow‑groundwater or poor‑soil scenarios. Wetlands & permits: when you cannot place a system without a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland fill permit; why setbacks and space—not just acreage—often control feasibility. Common failure points (and how to avoid them): solids getting past the tank, flushing the wrong materials, vacation‑rental usage spikes (barrier‑island problem), and ignoring annual service on advanced treatment units. Replacement realities & regulations: why many replacements are treated as repairs (SC context) and when a new soil look makes sense on older systems. Who this episode is for: land buyers and sellers, agents, builders, homesteaders, developers, investors—anyone evaluating buildable acreage without municipal sewer. Guests: Tyler Sgro, President & CEO, Davis Horizons — a tech‑forward soil services firm operating statewide in South Carolina. Robert Waddell, National Land Realty — 14 years in land sales with a focus on contract contingencies that actually protect buyers. Bottom line: If septic feasibility isn't a top contract contingency, you're gambling with your buildability, your budget, and your timeline.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 21ú lá de mí Iúil, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 thug an Euro Bainc níos mó ná 30 milliún punt chuig an tír. I 1995 bhí an dlí nua do cholscaradh chun a bheith cuirtha siar I gcóir 4 bhliain. I 1972 bhí fáiltiú iontach in Inis don Easpag nua Protastúnach. I 1995 cheannaigh duine óstán Old Ground do 1.6 milliúin punt. Sin Donny Osmond le Puppy Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1972. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1977 in ainneoin na agóid, chan The Sex Pistols ar Top Of The Pops sa Bhreatain agus rinne siad beolbheachtaigh. Chan siad a tríú hamhrán Pretty Vacant. Chuaigh an t-amhrán chuig uimhir a seacht sna cairteacha de bharr. I 1994 chan Oasis I Meiriceá don chéad uair agus bhí siad páirteach den New Music Seminar ag Wetlands I Nua Eabhrac. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Paloma Faith sa Bhreatain I 1981 agus rugadh aisteoir Robin Williams I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1951 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 21st of July, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: the euro bank lended Ireland £30million. 1995: New divorce law was to insist on 4 year delay. 1972: Ennis gave protestant bishop a civic welcome. 1995: the old ground was bought £1.6m. That was Donny Osmond with Puppy Love – the biggest song on this day in 1972 Onto music news on this day In 1977 Despite protests, The Sex Pistols made their first appearance on the UK music show Top Of The Pops where they lip-synched to their third single, 'Pretty Vacant'. The performance helped push the song up the charts to No.7. 1994 Oasis played their first ever American show as part of the New Music Seminar at Wetlands in New York City. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – singer Paloma Faith was born in London in 1981 and actor Robin Williams was born in America on this day in 1951 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Auckland Council is going ahead with plans for a flood prevention catchment that will swallow-up at least half of a popular North Shore golf course; despite some strong objections. A chunk of the council owned Takapuna Golf Course will become a permanent wetland that has the capacity to soak up more than half a million litres of water in a flood event. The Insurance Council estimates there were a thousand claims from property owners in the area after the 2023 events. But New Zealand golf the course operators and top golfer Ryan Fox have been fighting to save the course. Auckland Council's head of flood resilience Tom Mansell spoke to Lisa Owen.

Join Kosta and his guest: Dr. Justin Murdock, Ecologist, Professor of Biology, and Director of The Water Research Center at Tennessee Technological University. In this episode: Let's start from the top, because if I'm being honest, my knowledge of Tennessee's wetlands is that I'd assume it's wet land. In April a bill passed the Tennessee House Legislature 71-21 to remove protections for up to 80% of Tennessee's wetlands. What does that actually mean for our land, our water, and our safety? Lawmakers behind this bill claimed that isolated wetlands (especially small ones) are just “damp dirt.” From a scientific perspective, what do we lose when we lose even “minor” wetlands? This bill was framed as a defense of property owners' rights. For anyone that's tried to get flood insurance lately, I bet you can think of other property owners' rights you might want more. Who pays the price when developers are no longer required to mitigate destruction of wetlands?Find out more about The Water Research Center and Dr. Justin Murdock: https://www.tntech.edu/research/wrc/https://www.tntech.edu/directory/cas/biology/justin-murdock.phpBetter Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.This episode of Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is made possible by our partners at Aspire Barber and Beauty Academy.Find out more about Aspire Barber and Beauty Academy:https://aspirebarberandbeauty.com
Wetlands play a critical role in protecting communities from climate change, but restoring and sustaining them in a shifting climate is no easy task. In this episode of People, Places, Planet, host Dara Albrecht examines the impact of climate change on wetland sites through the lens of compensatory mitigation, a process through which developers offset permitted impacts to wetlands and streams by funding or conducting ecological restoration elsewhere, and how, if at all, mitigation practitioners are responding to ensure climate resiliency in their projects. Guests Dr. Meghan Halabisky, Dave Groves, and Karen Johnson bring different perspectives to the table: Halabisky offers a scientific overview of how climate change is impacting wetlands, while Groves and Johnson discuss the regulatory and practical constraints and opportunities that practitioners are facing. The conversation covers site planning, ecological monitoring, and the tension between policy requirements and the realities of climate adaptation. Rather than prescribing easy solutions, the episode explores the complexities of ensuring long term sustainability at mitigation sites experiencing climate change. ★ Support this podcast ★

From coastal marshes to inland swamps, wetlands are the unsung heroes of nature. This month, Nature Boost is giving them the spotlight they deserve in honor of American Wetlands Month! MDC Wetlands Ecologist Frank Nelson gives us a tour of Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area near Columbia and tells us what wetlands are, why the matter, and why we should totally care. Think natural water filters, flood protection, wildlife hangouts, and even climate superheroes (wetlands store carbon like champs). Tune in to this episode to fall in love with marshes, bogs, swamps, and all the wet and wild places in between.

How will market uncertainty and a lack of federal support for climate efforts affect the future of clean energy in the United States? Plus, many wetlands are disappearing, but Louisiana's “accidental” Wax Lake Delta is growing—and informing coastal restoration techniques.$8 Billion Of Climate Tech Projects Were Canceled In 3 MonthsIn the first three months of the Trump administration, officials have been aggressive in cancelling climate change related efforts, from enacting layoffs at large agencies to withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement and rescinding federal funding for green research and infrastructure.Joining Host Flora Lichtman to break down the changes we're starting to see in climate policy and clean tech on the ground is Casey Crownhart, senior climate reporter at MIT Technology Review. They also talk about other science news of the week, including a Florida-based startup that's recycling solar panels, an update on the growing measles outbreak in the Southwest, signs of a US science brain drain, humanoid robot participants in the Beijing half marathon, and how bats manage to drink on the fly.In Louisiana, A Chance To Study A Successful, Growing WetlandAmid the rapid erosion of Louisiana's coast, something hopeful is happening where the Atchafalaya River meets the Gulf. A flow of sediment from a decades-old river diversion has accidentally given birth to new wetlands.While that small delta is dwarfed by what's washing away all around it, researchers have gained knowledge from Wax Lake Delta that could help save the rest of Louisiana's coast and contribute to a better understanding of wetland science across the globe.Read more at sciencefriday.com.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
