7/11 Honey badger, Columbia sockeye, WA burn ban, WA voter guide, 'fatbergs,' anchored freighter noise

Honey Badger

Honey Badger Mellivora capensis
The honey badger is part of the weasel family, related to skunks, otters, ferrets, and other badgers. Its proper name is ratel, but it gets the common name honey badger from what seems to be its favorite food: honey. Honey badgers are native to areas of Africa and Asia, from southern Morocco to Africa’s southern tip, and western Asia’s Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, and western India.

Record sockeye salmon run on Columbia now threatened by hot water
Smashing records, sockeye salmon are booming up the Columbia River, in a run expected to top 700,000 fish before it’s over.

With water temperatures above 80 degrees in the Okanogan River, sockeye are stacking up at its mouth and waiting rather than entering the tributary to get to their spawning grounds across the U.S.-Canada border. Lynda Mapes reports. (Seattle Times)

The forecast cautioned that data centers could consume as much as 4,000 average megawatts of electricity by 2029 — enough to power the entire city of Seattle five times over. Lulu Ramadan reports.

7/3 Bluegill, white-tailed ptarmigan, Trump's fossil fuel guys, sharks, Chevron deference, I-2117, barred owls kill, Post Point sewage, week in review

 

Bluegill

Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus
Bluegill is one of several "panfish" species in Washington which is very popular across the state because they are easy to catch, they are a great "family fishing activity" and they make excellent table fare. Often mistaken for pumpkinseed sunfish, bluegill are distinguishable by a darkened blue spot on the posterior edge of the gill plate. The sides of the head and chin are often a dark shade of blue and there are 5-9 vertical bars along the sides of the bluegill; however, these are not always distinct. Average 4-8 inches. Bluegill can grow to 6-11 inches in quality populations. (WDFW)

Supreme Court dismantles federal environmental protections
The Supreme Court on Friday threw into question the future of climate and environmental regulation in the United States, scrapping a decades-old legal precedent that gave federal agencies leeway to interpret laws according to their expertise and scientific evidence. The impact of the decision to scrap the so-called Chevron deference will take years to become clear, but it could allow for far more legal challenges against regulations by agencies like the EPA and the Department of the Interior that have a huge role in the climate fight.

The control program, outlined in a final Environmental Impact Statement announced Wednesday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is intended to result in the annual removal of less than one-half of 1% of the current North American barred owl population — but it’s still a lot of birds: as many as 500,000 barred owls, over the next 30 years, depending on how fully the program is implemented.

7/2 Whiting, camas harvest, heat waves, owls, marmots, potato field fight

 

Pacific whiting [Georges Jansoone]

Whiting Mercluccius productus
Pacific whiting, or hake, is a ray-finned fish species found off the West Coast of the United States and Canada. They are a semi-pelagic schooling species of groundfish. There are three stocks of Pacific whiting: a migratory coastal stock, ranging from southern Baja California to Queen Charlotte Sound; a central-south Puget Sound stock; and a Strait of Georgia stock.

Coast Salish tribes enjoy the sweet revival of a camas harvest
In Coupeville, on Whidbey Island in Washington, people carrying curved metal digger sticks have fanned out across an open field. They’re seeking out wilted purple camas flowers in the foot-high prairie grasses so they can harvest the bulbs underneath. The sticks are reconstructions of a tool that Indigenous tribes traditionally made out of hardwood, such as Pacific Yew or Crabapple, said Linzie Crofoot. Bellamy Paithorp reports. (KNKX)

Scientists can now rapidly link heat waves to climate change
Canadian scientists can now estimate how much human-induced climate change contributed to an extreme heat wave or flood within a week of the disaster. B.C.-based atmospheric physicist Nathan Gillett, a research scientist at Environment and Climate Change Canada, said they have been working on event attribution — algorithms that allow researchers to calculate how much a heat wave was likely affected by climate change — for some time. But where it used to take months to create a report, now they can do it in days. Tiffany Crawford report. (Vancouver Sun)

All killer whales will remain one species — for now, according to marine mammal committee
A formal proposal to designate resident and Bigg’s killer whales as separate species has been rejected by a committee widely recognized as the authority in naming new marine mammal species. The proposal for new orca species, put forth by a team of geneticists and marine mammal biologists, was based on the distinct genetic, physical and behavioral differences observed between resident killer whales, which eat fish, and Bigg’s, or transient, killer whales, which eat marine mammals. Christopher Dunagan reports. (Puget Sound Institute)

A String of Supreme Court Decisions Hits Hard at Environmental Rules
A spate of decisions over the past two years by the Supreme Court has significantly impaired the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to limit pollution in the air and water, regulate the use of toxic chemicals and reduce the greenhouse gasses that are heating the planet. This term, the court’s conservative supermajority handed down several rulings that chip away at the power of many federal agencies. Coral Davenport reports. (NY Times)

Washington on-guard for troublesome mussel found in Idaho
Washington is upping efforts to keep an invasive freshwater mussel from gaining a shell-hold in the state’s rivers and lakes, using tactics ranging from DNA testing to shellfish-sniffing dogs. Quagga mussels can cause major problems as layers of them crust over components of hydroelectric dams and locks, or clog drinking water or irrigation systems. Fisheries and fish ladders that allow salmon to bypass dams could be disrupted, too. The mussels can also outcompete native species, throw off water quality, and otherwise degrade ecosystems. Bill Lucia reports. (Washington State Standard)

A British Columbia cattle company and a contractor have been fined $545,000 for destroying habitat along the Chilcotin and Kleena Kleene rivers, says Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).
