the gambia is a small strip of low lying land in west africa. as one of the world s poorest and least developed countries, it is suffering the effects of a climate crisis it did little to cause. climate change activists fear that unless concerted action is taken soon, disaster looms. we re facing high temperature rises, less rainfall is changing the whole rain pattern, and we re looking at the mangroves dying due to high salinity rises. so what we re looking at, how do we find maybe scientific models or industrial models or equipments that could be able to help people track the salinity level in these rivers that could be able to guide our planting processes. but oysters are not only used to make traditional dishes like oyster stew, but the shells are dried for a year and used as paving around fishing towns, driveways and also used to make paint and chalk.

is a freak of nature. and the patapsco river rising 18 feet in about two hours. that was a big, bug concern. and it continues now as the next batch of rain moves up from alberto. and on alberto, writhere is storm right now? it made landfall just to the west of panama city, near laguna beach. it has been dying out. the winds were at 50 miles per hour, then down to 45. it s going to continue to lose strength. it s more of a nuisance storm. but for the most part, there are threats with the flooding. we had flooding today earlier in north and south carolina. and now there are going to be fears of flooding because the southeast region has had three weeks worth of rain each and every day. along the panhandle, parts of alabama, look out nashville, heavy rain. this thing, brianna is going to go all the way to the great lakes. and the next five days, the forecast shows that rain pattern. it will drop off in intensity, obviously. but still with all the rain that s fallen in the eastern u.s.
