To wake up to. The sunrise will be coming up in the next 20 minutes. We are here for a serious reason. Not just to enjoy what promises to be a lovely day. We are discussing a topic which matters an awful lot to you at home. Water quality. The amount of sewage in our water. This morning we will hear from the Water Companies. We hearfrom the Environment Secretary, Therese Coffey. We will hear from campaigners. And we would love to hearfrom campaigners. And we would love to hear from you as well. We will let you know how to get in touch throughout breakfast. Because we have a big bbc investigation today, it has found that what looks like the Water Companies illegally discharging raw Sewage Hundreds Of Times Last year. Our team has seen analysis.

It appears to show that On 400 Spills Last year, lasting thousands of hours, sewage was released, not during wet weather, storms, heavy rain and
Estuarine and adjacent inshore habitats have long been recognised as important nursery areas for fishes before they disperse to coastal habitats. Assessing nursery function supports spatial and fisheries management, yet work commonly focusses on singular habitat types. Re-considering how juvenile fish connect habitats may improve our understanding of nursery function and the scales that recruits are supplied to coastal fisheries. This study quantified the juvenile movements of two harvested fishes in south-eastern Australia, luderick (Girella tricuspidata) and yellowfin bream (Acanthopagrus australis). Acoustic tags were used to track 33 luderick and 20 yellowfin bream from seagrass meadows for up to ~400 days in Jervis Bay Marine Park. Both species had relatively small home ranges (< 7 km2) and exhibited site attachment to seagrass meadows where they were released. Most luderick and yellowfin bream were detected moving 100’s metres to kilometres to reefs adjacent to seagrass, alt
On a freezing January morning, dozens of discarded Christmas trees collected after the holidays are tossed into Stockholm's glacial waters, recycled to provide a welcoming habitat for marine life.Since 2016, more than 1,000 trees collected after Christmas have been dropped in different spots.
