The fight against plastic pollution has been marred by disappointingly slow progress, according to a recent research paper published in the scientific journal Nature Communications. A network of scientists from various countries, including India, highlights the inadequate integration of key stakeholders
Recent claims based on hydrodynamic modelling within a sequence stratigraphical perspective of incised valley fill sedimentation have argued that the Lower River Murray and its terminal lakes Alexandrina and Albert represented a marine–estuarine lake system, with marine salinities for some 200 km upstream from the Murray Mouth. These claims have encouraged proposals for the removal of barrages near the Murray Mouth to restore the ‘original natural condition’ of the lakes. It has also been suggested that fine-grained terrestrial sediments were trapped in this mega-lake, necessitating a re-assessment of the Holocene climatic history of southeastern Australia determined from the study of continental slope cores. We show that throughout Holocene time (the past 11.7 ka), the Lower River Murray remained a freshwater-dominated system, based on a range of mutually complementary sedimentary evidence.

scientists say if that continues, the beaches that surround the national park will disappear, the freshwater environments will be changed and will be overrun by saltwater. this is an area that brings millions from around the world and will have an economicesque, the argument goes. there s also a concern broadly around this area in south florida, in this area specifically from palm beach ft. lauderdale, miami, down to the keys rising sea levels have already caused flooding and there s concerns homes could be lost, roads, the economic engine of south florida would be deeply affected by this. so the president is coming here to make points about climate change affecting the economy national security, the global economy and all of that. but it s also not lost on political observers he s coming to florida, where the president governor, to say the least has not exactly embraced the theories of climate change and two of the republican hopefuls jeb bush and marco rubio are from here. it s an ed
