☆ Climate change, overharvesting exacerbating Texas oyster decline
  + stars: | 2023-11-28 | by ( Evan Garcia | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
GALVESTON, Texas, Nov 28 (Reuters) - For the second year in a row, Texas has closed the majority of its public oyster reefs for harvesting due to declining populations. DECLINING POPULATIONSScientists estimate at least 85% of the world's oyster reefs have been lost, largely to overharvesting and disease. To harvest oysters, boats drag an underwater dredge across oyster reefs, collecting reef material that is dumped onto the boat. But dredging destroys the oyster reefs, which are also a habitat for fish and crabs, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. "And so, especially in the past decade, we've seen impacts from both harvest and heavy rainfall, heavy drought impacting those oyster populations."

☆ Flood insurance swamps US government

REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Sept 11 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The U.S. government’s flood coverage could soon find itself financially underwater. The National Flood Insurance Program, which covers nearly 5 million properties, needs to be reauthorized by Congress by the end of the month to avoid a housing crunch. A FEMA report seen by the Associated Press estimated another 1 million fewer Americans will buy flood insurance by the end of the decade, further starving the program of much-needed funds. The program’s flood fund lost nearly $1.9 billion in fiscal 2022, up from a $236 million loss the year prior. Follow @BenWinck on XCONTEXT NEWSCongressional authorization for the U.S. National Flood Insurance Program is set to lapse on Sept. 30 if lawmakers don’t approve a new extension.

Over the past decade in the US, there were, on average, 71 deaths per year due to rip currents, according to the National Weather Service. This year, 11 people died over the course of two weeks due to rip currents along the Gulf Coast, CNN reports. Here's some more advice on how to spot rip currents and swim out if you're caught in one. Rip currents are often mislabeled as rip tides, but unlike tides, they aren't solely caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun. How to spot a rip currentIt can be difficult to see a rip current, especially if it's wide.

"We predicted the deepest fish would be there and we predicted it would be a snailfish," Jamieson said according to the outlet.
