Going Bush
We've had a busy couple of days & I've had little time to complete the next few blog posts not least of all because the internet is virtually non-existent in this part of the Catlins. And it's going to get worse as we are pulling out of the Whistling Frog Café & McLeans Falls Holiday Park this morning & going bush for awhile. We're heading to a DOC camp which is located inland alongside the Catlins River to do some trout fishing & where there will be no reception at all.
So this will be the last post for a few days but look out for when we return to civilization, I'll have plenty of blog posts ready to go live.
And in the meantime, so I don't leave you in suspense waiting to see the photo I mentioned in the last post, here is the yellow-eyed penguin chick David spotted waiting on a ledge for his dinner. And there was one more surprise in store for us when we returned to see him the next day, he had a sibling!

Waikawa, Curio Bay & the Petrified Forest, Catlins
Just a note before this blog post goes live; Just after I posted the previous blog when I said we looked like we'd be staying on at Weir Beach Reserve forever, we decided it was time to move & within the hour we were packed and on the road. We are now just down the road from the Cathedral Caves & I'm working off a dodgy free one hour internet connection and I'm not sure if the photos will show ok. I do know that the font size varies from paragraph to paragraph which I will try to fix next time I have a good connection. So please excuse any mistakes...
In the last couple of days we've done a couple of tiki-touring trips over to Waikawa & Curio Bay which are about 16kms north of us on the main winding shingle road through this part of Catlins and another popular area of interest. Waikawa is located on the edge of one of the huge tidal estuaries that frequent this coastline and was once a bustling port town.
Waikawa Boat Shed
It's now a sleepy little village with about half a dozen houses & cribs, a hall, a lovely church and a fabulous old museum that must contain every old knick knack, antique this & that, settlers photos, clothes, medals, newspaper cuttings and pieces of ship wreck that exist in the area. Much of it has been donated by the local families and many of the names are now very familiar to us as many roads, settlements & points of interest are named after them.
The museum is well worth a visit, just a donation entry fee requested and you could lose yourself in there for a good few hours especially if the weather isn't great outdoors. But it was a glorious sunny day so we didn't linger long. Alongside the museum is the "famous in Southland" blue cod fish 'n chip caravan which is said to sell the best tasting fish & chips in NZ. It was lunchtime so of course we had to see if this was true and yes, we can report back that they were indeed great fish 'n chips but on a par with the ones we had at Waihola!
Just down the road from Waikawa are the Niagara Falls. New Zealand's Niagara Falls. The falls were named by a surveyor with an obvious sense of humour. We gave these falls a 2/10; one above "not worth the walk" because in fact you only had to take 10 or so steps from the side of the road to see them! The falls are also just across the road from the NZMCA Park which we looked at on the way down to Invercargill.
Back on the main road & just around the corner from the falls is the Waikawa Holiday Resort which I'm sure every day has plenty of vacancies, and look, the caravans come fully air conditioned.....
Along side the road just north of Waikawa is an old concrete horse trough that was built around 1890, it gave passing horse teams a welcome drink after they had completed the climb up Cemetery Hill- which actually wasn't that bad a climb compared with others in the area.
While we were in the museum (which is also an i-site) a foreign couple came in to ask "where were the dolphins?" David & I smiled at each other; like you can just walk in and expect to be told where the dolphins are going to be waiting for you. David wanted to say "Just a minute I have one under the counter".
They're not quite like sealions or seals which are sprawled out on the beach in well-known places. They're out there in the ocean, swimming around wherever they please. But in fact the lady behind the counter told them that there had been reports of dolphins in Porpoise Bay just that morning. Porpoise Bay is the summer home of the Hectors Dolphin, a tiny & very cute endangered dolphin with distinctive black & white markings that is only found off the southern coast of NZ. With a total population of around 3-4000, Hectors dolphins are one of the rarest dolphins in the world, so to see one (or more) is very lucky indeed.
And especially if you are just passing through. As luck would have it, our next stop was at the lookout at the Heads which is the prominent point between Porpoise Bay & Curio Bay and as we passed the camp ground we spotted a few people pointing out to the waves & saw others in the water. We pulled in and there in the shallows were half a dozen Hectors dolphins swimming around and along the wave line. They weren't doing too much wave riding or leaping about but looked to be feeding as they made their way back & forward in the one area for quite some time. Most of the time you could see only their rounded dorsal fin but I managed to catch one tail walking.
I wonder if there's something like the "Big Four" that people have on their must see list when visiting the Catlins; the four being sealions, yellow eyed penguins, hectors dolphin & the elephant seal. If there is we can now tick off the first three & I'm hoping we may see an elephant seal at Nugget Point where they breed. What a thrill for us to see all of these wonderful animals in such close quarters & all within a few kilometres of each other. We were in for another delightful surprise when we visited the Petrified Forest in Curio Bay.
We had a look at the campground located at the Heads thinking we might have come through there for a couple of nights but we decided it wasn't that good for us. The sites were quite small and tucked into thick flax alcoves. All I could think of were the rats that must live in the flax and David was thinking about how claustrophobic each site was with a wall of tall flax on all three sides: though it would have provided great protection from the gale force winds that frequent the area. Some of the smaller sites were out on the edge of the cliff with fabulous views over the rocky platforms below.
Porpoise Bay & the Curio Bay Campground
Curio Bay & the Petrified Forest- stairway down to the rock flats can be see top right
Our next stop was the Petrified Forest at Curio Bay. This is one of the world's finest fossil forests & is easily accessible at low tide down a purpose built ramp & stairway. Embedded into the bedrock the petrified stumps, fallen trees & fern imprints are from the Jurassic period and are over 180 million years old. It was quite fascinating searching out the various markings & patterns of the trees. The stumps used to be a lot taller but over time storm borne driftwood & logs have battered the height of them down.
Very soon after arriving onto the rocky platform the Petrified Forest took second place because out of the flax (& it's nest) came a yellow eyed penguin, waddling down to the water for a wash & a swim. That's him (or her), up above on the header, making his way back to the nest afterwards.
And then once we had had our fill of him David found a very special little guy, a part downy yellow eyed penguin chick, standing on a rocky ledge waiting for his parents to return from the sea with dinner. But you'll have to wait a little longer for those photos.....

Waipohatu Walk.....Tramp!
Monday morning & one week later we are still parked up at the Weir Beach Reserve! We keep saying we'll move on tomorrow, tomorrow comes & we decide to stay one more day & the "one more day" becomes two, then three, now four..... At this rate we'll never make it around the South Island!
We have been doing a lot of exploring and just enjoying the reserve. Over the weekend a few more families arrived to camp in their caravans and each night there has been an extra two or three sleeper vans, tents or motorhomes staying. And going by the amount of hire motorhomes & cars that we pass on the road it would seem that this place is a hidden gem not least because it's about the only place in the Catlins, so far, where we have been able to get phone reception.
A few days ago we visited the Waipohatu conservation area where there are a number of walking tracks. It The reserve is on the edge of the Waikawa Forest and is typical of the Catlins coastal forests. It was last logged in the 1960s but still has some remnants of the forest trees with the regenerating bush growing thick & fast underneath. The access roads are old saw milling roads and the carpark & picnic area, where an old Fordson Tractor log hauler still sits, was once a skid site where the logs were hauled to for transporting out.
There were two walks here, one a short 20 minute walking track through the bush, the other a 6.5km, 3 hour tramping track up to the waterfalls. We decided we'd walk the 20 minute track & then decide if we wanted to head further afield, which is what we did in the end as the longer track led off the end of the shorter walk. We were prepared for a longer hike although neither of us had our heavy duty tramping boots on just the easier to wear walking shoes. I also wasn't sure how my feet were going to cope. It's now been 6 months since my operation, the operation that was going to allow me to do all these long walks & tramps and I was keen to see how they stood up to it (no pun intended).
There were a number of bridges to cross and in places ponga logs had been laid as steps across boggy patches and up steep stretches. The bush was stunning, brilliant green with lots of tree & ground ferns & mosses. The water was stained with tannin that leaches out of the surrounding soil and leaf litter.
It was a steady climb all the way and the further we got into the bush the boggier it got. We were expecting it to dry out a little the higher we climbed but in just about every dip or low area the ground was a muddy mess. A lot of the time we managed to skirt around the edge of the mud but quite often the track was very narrow with a steep drop off at the edge or it was overgrown so there was no choice but to pick our way through the mud carefully placing each step in case we slipped.
With the promise of a waterfall at the end of the climb we kept on going although a couple of times we wondered if we should turn back. Until finally we got to the sign that told us there were an upper & lower waterfall. It's about now when you're totally buggered you wonder whether the steep descent down to the lower falls will be worth it (actually it's the steep climb out I was more concerned with). And to make matters worse the higher falls was another separate climb up to & back. Ten minutes doesn't sound like much but when you're that bushed it's a bloody long time!
The track wound it's way down and around & over moss laden rocks to the lower falls which were stunning, although somebody could have removed that dead tree before we got there!
Long before we sighted the top falls we could hear the terrific roar of the cascading water, these were much higher, the water falling probably at least 30 metres into a small pool before being forced into two narrow gaps with a couple of huge boulders in the centre.
Unfortunately we couldn't see around the edge of the side rock to get a clear view of the waterfall; lean out too far & we would have been in the drink. The spray was also making it difficult to grab a quick look.
David tried to get across to the other side but the flat rocks were slippery & moss covered & the water deep, so he gave that away.
After the falls- which we rated 6/10 on our waterfall scale; 10 being "must see, fantastic, awesome" & 1 being "shouldn't have bothered, not worth the walk"- we had a rest & a bite to eat before heading on back to the car.
We were surprised at the lack of bird life we encountered on the walk although it was in the middle of the day so most would have been resting although we did get fleeting glimpses & we could hear quite a few, mainly grey warblers with two or three chicks in tow. But best of all we did get to see a couple of rare & very hard to spot (and photograph) rifleman, they move very fast and are so tiny, one of our smallest native birds. As you can see by the photo, I didn't manage to have my camera settings correct as I'd just finished shooting the waterfall when we spotted the birds. But with a bit of repair work at least I've got the evidence of a rifleman with a spider in it's bill.
After we left the waterfalls it was still a bit of climb upwards before the track turned and headed back down. And on this return leg the boggy patches became more frequent and the ponga stepping logs less so. Eventually the track broke out onto one of the old logging roads & it was all downhill from there, 1.2km straight down.
This was actually the toughest part as by then we were worn out and my feet were starting to really ache, also going downhill is extra hard on the knees. It was with much relief when the road levelled out not far from the carpark. It actually took us over four hours in the end, in part because of how boggy the track was & stopping a number of times serching for birds. Our shoes were caked in mud but thankfully neither of us had slipped over or broken an ankle. And while my feet were very tender & sore, they came right after a night's rest so I'm thinking I'm good to go for our next tramp. Just not for a while.

Waipapa Point, Catlins
In 1881 the Waipapa Reef was the scene of NZ's worst civilian maritime disaster when the SS Tararua sank with the loss of 131 lives, only 20 people managed to survive. A lighthouse was erected on the point after the disaster & is now one of the most popular places to visit in the Catlins but also in part because it's a well know spot to see sealions.
When we arrived there was a massive "meat ball" happening right down below us. A "meat ball", or baitball as it's sometimes known, is a huge school of small fish that have formed into a tightly packed spherical formation to try and avoid being eaten by the hundreds of birds feeding from above & other larger fish from below. The mass of fish swung this way and that as they tried to escape the frenzy of the diving birds. Most of the birds were sooty shearwaters, also known as mutton birds here in New Zealand, with gulls, terns & shags feeding on the fringes. It was all very exciting, & extremely noisy.
Down on the shoreline the spotted shags (parekareka) that were finished with feeding were gathering to prod, preen, dry out & talk (squawk) about their catch.
Some shags dropped in from overhead, others arrived rather abruptly by surf.
And there in amongst all the melee were the sealions, four of them, cast in the sand looking like giant sea-slugs slumbering on with not a care in the world. If you haven't come across sealions before, they can be quite intimidating as can be seen by these visitors (below) that were standing well back from them. DOC (Dept of Conservation) recommend that you keep a 10 metre distance but there's always someone who will push the envelope......(he's the one with a missing foot! ;) )
This guy below was my favourite, doesn't he look just so darn cute snoring away with his sand scull cap on to keep the sun off his head.
Just behind the sealions the white fronted terns (tara) were bringing home their catch for their fledgling chicks that were waiting on the rocks. They were demanding little blighters & the parents were very particular in getting to the right chick before letting go of their hard earned haul. Any hesitation and a gull stepped in to sort it out!
This chick did not belong to this bird, no matter how much it begged the adult ignored him. The adult kept looking around trying to locate it's chick and then flew on to another rock where a gull promptly grabbed the fish.
After all the animal & bird activity the lighthouse became a second priority but a look over my shoulder confirmed that we needed to high tail it out of there as a southerly front was fast approaching.
The 44 foot high lighthouse tower is built from kauri & totara (native NZ trees) and is one of the last timber lighthouses built in NZ, Kaipara Heads in the North Island being the other & also identical to Waipapa. In the 19th century timber lighthouses were cheaper to build and also the timber was able to withstand the fierce coastal environment. The lower cavity wall is filled with local stone for ballast.
Until the lighthouse was automated in 1976 there was a small community of lighthouse keepers' houses & out buildings located on the plateau behind the lighthouse. It would have been an isolated & windswept place to live.
With the weather front nearly upon us, we had one more stop to do further back along the road. A visit to the Tararua Acre, a cemetery & memorial for the Tararua shipwreck victims which is located over the sand dunes from the reef where the ship went down. It was a short walk across private farm land to the fenced off acre. Sheep grazed in the dunes & paddocks surrounding the site.
Big fat raindrops joined us for the walk (run) back across the paddock to the car & by the time we got back to the fifth-wheeler it was pelting down, the temperature had plummeted & a strong wind was blowing. It didn't ease up for 24 hours. Such is the weather in Southland.
"A nasty misty mizzle, a steady dripping drizzle"- the person who wrote that in the Clutha Leader newspaper in 1890 knew a thing or two about the Catlin weather.

Not long after taking the reflection photos in the previous post David got a text from Rachel asking what the weather was like after the sunny day yesterday. We sent back that there was cloud cover but it looked like it would burn off and more importantly that there was no wind! Back came a reply- "We're on our way, see you in an hour" And so after saying our big farewells yesterday and in less than an hour the family arrived on our doorstep (literally) to set up camp! What a wonderful surprise it was & finally after all our weather woes we got the chance to camp together, albeit for one night only.
Ollie & Ruby were so excited, Ollie especially as Poppa had skyped the night before & had shown him the tyre swing in the tree beside us. It was the first thing they both raced for.
Panoramic view of the reserve
After setting up camp and with the tide going out we decided to walk around to the point beside the mouth of the estuary.
Hubcap Heaven- cribs at the end of the road
A woman had arrived just after the family in her horse float with two dogs & a horse on board and it turned out that Rachel knew her from work. Irene frequently came to this reserve to stay; she is friends with the neighbouring farm owners and rides over their farm & she told us that there were often sealions & seals on the rocks at the point. We didn't find any on this walk but we later saw a sealion pulling itself out of the water and up into the dunes on the far side of the estuary near the mouth. The tide was on its way in so we weren't able to check it out, plus it would have been another long walk back across the soft sandflats.
Looking back across the tidal sand flats towards the camp. The estuary reaches around the trees in the middle and would be another 3 rimes this size. The sand was fairly firm to walk on although there were a few soft patches.
Poppa leads the way around a rocky patch
The estuary mouth & Haldane Bay, Catlins
At the rocky point there was plenty of bull kelp growing on the rocks & swirling back & forward in the tidal surge.
Heading for home
But not before a slide in the sand
By mid-afternoon the sun made an appearance & after a bite to eat we took the kids down to the water for a swim. Well, a paddle & a play on the boogie boards. Dad got a good workout running back & forward skimming them across the water.
Back at the camp & getting ready for a BBQ dinner we were in for another lovely surprise. The family from the farm had been on an outing to Curio Bay for the afternoon & especially to get a fish 'n chip dinner from the well-known caravan that plies it trade there during the summer. They called in for a visit on their way home. And so once again, as well as saying goodbye to them yesterday, we said another hello!
And I have to report that after this post on free range eggs & this one on the state of the bread in Invercargill I had two indignant women on my hands. Firstly Darnelle was most put out that I was having trouble finding good free-range eggs and so no prizes for guessing what she arrived with, a carton of fresh free-range eggs straight from their chooks to our pan! And at a day or two old, the only way you could get fresher than these would be to hold the frypan underneath as the hens laid them! So thankyou very much Mrs Chicken (& friends) & the family too! I knew I took a photo of one of the hens at Christmas for a reason...... :)
And secondly, I forgot to mention the wonderful freshly baked bread that Rachel ha made for us many times while we were in Invercargill and as if to reiterate this fact she sent us away on Monday with a lovely warm loaf to enjoy when we got to camp. There's nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through the house and it's intensified greatly in the small space of the fifth-wheeler so every time we opened the door on the way up the coast we got a promise of things to come.
After the BBQ there was a discussion on who was going to tidy up with David saying to count him out as he had cooked the sausages. This provided me with the opportunity of fishing out this little item that I have kept for many years on a scruffy sheet of paper in my keepsakes. I had actually lost it for quite awhile and only came by it again when I was packing up the house. Never a truer word said!
A Mans Barbecue-
Definition of Outdoor Barbecuing: It's the only type of cooking a "real" man will do: when a man volunteers to do the cooking, the following chain of events is put into motion.
1) The woman goes to the store.
2) The woman fixes the salad, vegetables & dessert.
3) The woman prepares the meal for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensiles, and takes it to the man, who is lounging beside the grill, drinking a beer.
4) The man places the meat on the grill.
5) The woman goes inside to set the table & check the vegetables.
6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning.
7) The man takes the meat off the grill & hands it to the woman.
8) The woman prepares the plates & brings them to the table.
9) After eating, the woman clears the table & does the dishes.
10) The guests congratulate the man for his excellent cooking & he takes a bow.
11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off". And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.

Brendan Dickinson: On the Journey
Brendan Dickinson
The health movement began – and has largely remained – focused on the body: diet and exercise and every contortion of each. But the body is only one leg of the three-legged wellness stool. We know now (or at least we are learning) that we need to put just as much time and energy into cultivating our healthiest minds and spirits. That's where meditation comes in and we are still in the earliest days of meditation breaking out to become part of millions of Americans' daily routines – like the gym. The stigma of mental health meditation has eroded, and 41% of millennials have reported trying meditation. Meditation, like yoga a decade ago, is the next large cultural shift in the way people take care of themselves.
Technology has proven adept at demystifying and democratizing access to meditation, but it has also perpetuated people's isolation. Historically, meditation was practiced in groups, not alone. In fact, leading meditation leaders both historically – like Maharishi Mahesh Yogi the founder of Transcendental Meditation – and today – like Deepak Chopra – tout the "network effects" of group meditation, where the energy, clarity and focus that an individual experiences when meditating by themselves is compounded in a group setting. As with other activities like the gym and diets, the social support of a group helps consumers continue to with programs that they might otherwise drop.
That's why I was so excited to back Journey Live last year. Last month, they launched the world's first digital meditation community, connecting people to live teachers and group classes. The company is founded by an incredible founder, Stephen Sokoler, who, after selling his previous company, discovered meditation and became meditation instructor.
The western world is waking up to the power of meditation and the early movers in the space have made clear there is a market here. Journey LIVE offers fundamentally different experience. Human connection, more personal relationships.
Just as Peloton drove people to think anew about in-home exercise equipment, we believe Journey LIVE will fundamentally change how we adopt, connect with and practice meditation.

Netflix's Cursed trailer: Katherine Langford is the chosen one
June 18, 2020 by Erin Fox
Katherine Langford made a name for herself as the voice of the past in Netflix's 13 Reasons Why, but in her new role for the streamer, she's very much present — and fighting for the future. Cursed hands Langford a sword and some magic powers on July 17.
Based on a book by TV writer Tom Wheeler and acclaimed comics writer and illustrator Frank Miller, Cursed imagines a version of the King Arthur legend in which the Lady of the Lake is the true hero. Langford stars as Nimue, a young women tormented for her magical gifts who becomes destined to wield a sword, save the people of her land, and become a piece of the story many think they know. In the first, 10-episode season, she's just getting the hang of it all.
The first teaser for the series is light on premise and high on 300
-style slo-mo action (fitting, for an adaptation of Miller's work). The official synopsis sheds a bit more light on where it's all going:
After her mother's death, she finds an unexpected partner in Arthur, a humble mercenary, in a quest to find Merlin and deliver an ancient sword. Over the course of her journey, Nimue will become a symbol of courage and rebellion against the terrifying Red Paladins, and their complicit King Uther. Cursed is a coming-of-age story whose themes are familiar to our own time: the obliteration of the natural world, religious terror, senseless war, and finding the courage to lead in the face of the impossible.
Starring alongside Langford are Devon Terrell as Arthur and Gustaf Skarsgård as Merlin.
There has been no shortage of fantasy tales in the wake of Game of Thrones, and most of those televised epics — like The Witcher and The Letter for the King — have arrived courtesy of Netflix. Cursed joins the fight for zeitgeisty conquest next month.

Stacey Evans and Stacey Abrams Differ More on Strategy Than Policy
By Tom Crawford
When it comes to the issues that really move Democratic voters, it's hard to see any daylight between the two candidates fighting for the party's nomination in the Democratic primary. Stacey Abrams and Stacey Evans are both former legislators who share the same first name and a professional background as lawyers. The one real distinction between them is their race: Abrams is black, and Evans is white.
They both were hard-working lawmakers who fought for maintaining (in Abrams' case) or even expanding (in Evans' case) the sacred HOPE college scholarship program. Both of them want a child to have a shot at a decent education, or a low-income family to have access to healthcare, or a woman to have the right to make her own choice when it comes to reproductive health.
When the House of Representatives was debating a bill in the 2012 session that would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks, Evans was nine months pregnant and on the verge of delivering her daughter, Ashley. She made an emotional videotaped statement that was played in place of a floor speech, pleading with her fellow lawmakers not to restrict a woman's right to choose.
And yet, when Planned Parenthood Southeast made their endorsement in the governor's race, they ignored Evans and gave their backing to Abrams, despite Evans' service on the board of NARAL Pro-Choice Georgia and her free legal work for women seeking abortions. They also noted Abrams' opposition to the same 20-week abortion ban that Evans so eloquently spoke against as a legislator.
That's the way it's gone with most of the endorsements from the major organizations. You have two candidates who have fought the good fight on the issues that matter most to these groups. In many instances, the organizations would note that the two candidates were so well qualified that that they couldn't make a choice and would offer their support to both of them.
But Abrams has been the one to win the bulk of these endorsements from organizations like the Georgia Association of Educators and the gay rights advocacy group Georgia Equality. Jeff Graham, Georgia Equality's executive director, pointed to the one real difference that seems to divide the campaigns of Abrams and Evans: the paths they see to a potential victory in November.
Abrams has been trying to sign up and motivate a more diverse group of new voters who typically don't vote or have rarely voted in past elections. Evans, on the other hand, believes there are votes that can be harvested by going after the more moderate independents or those who are disaffected Donald Trump voters but might be persuaded to come back to a Democrat. It's a strategy of persuading those who don't vote versus those who do vote but might be lured to the other side.
"Not only is she exceptionally strong on LGBTQ issues, I believe [Abrams] has an effective strategy to win in November," Graham said.
The organizations who have been issuing these endorsements insist that they underwent a "thorough process" in evaluating the two candidates before making a decision. Given the fact that Abrams and Evans are well-qualified candidates who have nearly identical positions on issues that matter to these groups, you wonder how thorough that process really was.
So far, neither campaign seems to have made much of a dent among the target audience with their approach. A poll conducted by the University of Georgia's School of Public and International Affairs for Atlanta media outlets indicated that 52 percent of likely Democratic voters are still undecided a little more than a month before the primary. About 33 percent of those surveyed said they supported Abrams, while 15 percent are backing Evans. Neither candidate is close to a majority, so they both have plenty of room to grow.
Correction: Evans, not Abrams, served on the NARAL board and did free legal work for women seeking abortions.

The flat farmland area in the east of England, known as the fens, isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the rich peaty soil is of particular interest to climate scientists.
Now a team from the University of Leicester have developed an experiment in the centre of a field to measure how much carbon is absorbed and released by this peaty soil.
Heiko - We are trying to get to the bottom of the carbon emissions that are coming off these soils and the different conditions, both different land use conditions and extreme weather as well. We've had very extreme dry conditions last year lasting until about Easter and this year, of course, it has been one of the wettest summers in the last 100 years in Britain, so we are trying to find out what that does to the carbon exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere. The carbon emissions coming off the peatlands here, of course, contribute to the global warming problem, so there is the feedback between the land and climate system and we are trying to get numbers of emissions that are coming off the ground.
Richard - Now, Ross, you're responsible for the experiment here which is cordoned off behind a barbed wire fence. It's a series of solar panels, I'm guessing for electricity. There is a substantial, almost like a fridge-sized green box and then a very peculiar - I don't know how best to describe this! It's obviously some sort of weather instrument but it looks like a weather instrument crossed with a whisk, what is it?
Ross - This is a weather station but quite an advanced weather station. It's got all the elements you would expect from a normal weather station, for example, we're measuring temperature, relative humidity and radiation and that sort of thing, but then the bit that looks a bit like a whisk is the more advanced part of this. What we have here is a device, an anemometer that basically measures atmospheric turbulence and then we have the other device which basically measures the concentration of CO2 and water vapour in the atmosphere.
Richard - And you're measuring the carbon dioxide, what, coming off the peat and going into the peat? The exchange of gases?
Ross - At certain times of year plants take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and throughout the year soils basically lose carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and so essentially using this instrument we can basically calculate how much is moving over quite a high frequency and every half an hour we get a measurement from this. Then, obviously, over longer periods of time we can build that up to get an idea of how much carbon and we're gaining at certain times of the year and then losing at other times of the year and then the balance over time between that.
Richard - So when there's a crop in the field - so spring/summer then you'd expect the carbon dioxide to be coming into the peats and this time of year you would expect the carbon dioxide to be leaving?
Richard - Nettles and weeds and bits and pieces?
Ross - Yes. When the crop is actually growing it does accumulate quite a lot of carbon, at least the crop we measured this year which was iceberg lettuce. This did, on some part of the growing season, actually result in a net removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as the crop was maturing. Then at other times of the year following ploughing and this sort of stuff, at this time of year when essentially most of the soil is bare we would be expecting to see a net loss of carbon to the atmosphere.
Richard - Heiko, this isn't the only set up you've got, you're looking at other sites as well?
Heiko - Yes that's right. We have three towers in total in the fens now. One is operated by the Centre of Ecology and Hydrology and two are operated by the University of Leicester. They are covering a land use gradient with three different types of land use. One is in the semi-natural fen in Wicken fen which is one of the few remaining areas of pristine peatland in the fens. The second one is in a restored area that is Baker's fen near Wicken that is now managed by the National Trust for nature conservation purposes and is trying to re-wet the soil that was previously used to agriculture and this third one that was set up this year is the first one that is on agricultural soil on farmland.
Richard - And how will the information from this be used? What do you want to do with it?
Heiko - Well it has huge implications for knowing exactly the amount of greenhouse gasses that are omitted from the land surface areas. First of all because we need to understand the earth system fully and we need to know how important the greenhouse gas emissions are from this area and to assess how important it is to protect the carbon that is locked in the soils here. Secondly there is of course an implication for the farm managers in the sense that we are trying to identify the best way of actually helping them to reduce and control their carbon emissions which is in their own interest and it is one of the motivations why this farm manager here has made the land for us available to install the instrumentation.

Q: C++: Passing polymorphic lambda to a function I would like to pass a polymorphic lambda function which will perform certain operation (i.e. == or <= or < etc.) on different data types. So I would like to do operation like this:
bool func(bool (* f)(auto a, auto b))
{
    int a = 1, b = 2;
    float c = 3, d = 4;
    return f(a, b) || f(c, d);
}

to later execute it like this:
func([](auto a, auto b) -> bool { return a == b; });
func([](auto a, auto b) -> bool { return a <= b; });
func([](auto a, auto b) -> bool { return a < b; });

But unfortunately declaring a function pointer this way (with parameter of type auto) is not allowed. How should I do this properly?

A: This works just fine:
template<class F>
bool func(F f)
{
    int a = 1, b = 2;
    float c = 3, d = 4;
    return f(a, b) || f(c, d);
}

int main()
{
    func([](auto a, auto b) -> bool { return a == b; });
    func([](auto a, auto b) -> bool { return a <= b; });
    func([](auto a, auto b) -> bool { return a < b; });
}

A: Without template auto keyword in argument of function doesn't have sense.
Either you make it as a template or provide specific type:
bool func(bool (* f)(int a, int b))
{
    int a = 1, b = 2;
    float c = 3, d = 4;
    return f(a, b) || f(c, d);
}

template<class T>
bool func2(T f)
{
    int a = 1, b = 2;
    float c = 3, d = 4;
    return f(a, b) || f(c, d);
}

…
func([](auto a, auto b) -> bool { return a <= b; });
func3([](auto a, auto b) -> bool { return a <= b; });

https://wandbox.org/permlink/cbit5S26a5pyrULf

A: Ok, I found an answer. It is more strange that I would expect, but the func function must also be a lambda function like this:
auto func = [](auto f) -> bool
{
    int a = 1, b = 2;
    float c = 3, d = 4;
    return f(a, b) || f(c, d);
};

What the 2020
This year everyone is a Wrangler National Finals Rookie
What the 2020? It's been a year of ups and downs with more valleys than peaks. I read a Facebook post that encouraged us to use 2020 instead of cussing and believe me I've done a lot of that this year. I am a woman of faith and I believe that this is all part of God's bigger plan, but I question that plan daily. So have a lot of rodeo committees and the communities they support, contestants, contract personnel, stock contractors, and the list goes on.
It means that some of our favorite contestants won't be at the Wrangler NFR this year and none of them will be in Vegas. We will certainly miss seeing our reigning world champion steer wrestler Ty Erickson compete as well as countless others. When rodeos started cancelling due to COVID-19, he got a job. No one was able to go to as many rodeos and everyone has been trying to figure out what their options are.
Doing well at the winter rodeos became more important than ever and it's safe to say that 90 percent of this year's field got a big percentage of their earnings at the National Western Stock Show Rodeo (Denver), the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo or the San Antonio Stock Show Rodeo, both of which are in Texas.
Every rodeo committee looked for alternatives. They considered their insurance, local regulations, projected income, ways to cut expenses and exhausted every option. Some of those options were put in place and rodeos happened. Many did not.
When restrictions made it impossible to have the 2020 Wrangler NFR in Las Vegas with fans, alternatives were sought out and Texas stepped up to the plate – literally. This year's competition will be held in the home of the Texas Rangers professional baseball team, Globe Life Field in Arlington.
A new location, venue, and new set up after 35 years is going to be different for everyone. The arena in the Thomas & Mack Center was so familiar to so many and people knew what to expect. I know fans who have had the same tickets for every performance since it moved to Las Vegas in 1985. The contestants might see the biggest differences. In the past, timed-event competitors set up their own arenas with the same dimensions so they could practice for the NFR. Rough Stock contestants talked about the yellow bucking chutes all year round, just waiting to get the chance to nod their heads in them in December.
There are a group of this year's contestant that have been waiting all of their life to compete in Las Vegas for the first time. Now, they are going to need a second Wrangler NFR qualification to make that happen. Well 2020.
There are five first-time qualifiers in the bareback riding, Jamie Howlett from Rapid City, South Dakota by way of Australia is highest in the standings at 6th. Texas native Leighton Berry will just have an hour drive from his home in Weatherford, Texas. He starts in 10th place. Right behind him is Jess Pope from Waverly, Kansas, and Cole Reiner from Kaycee, Wyoming. All three of them were at the College National Finals Rodeo in 2019 and were vying for the championship in the final round. None of them won the championship, but they all represented their colleges well and I'm excited to see them competing on rodeo's biggest stage.

Rounding out the newcomers in the bareback riding is Chad Rutherford, from Hillsboro, Texas. He's been a member of the PRCA for seven years, been on his way to a qualification, got hurt, went home, came back and started all over again. He qualified this year on the final day of the season at the Gold Buckle Knockout at the Cervi Ranch in Stoneham, Colorado. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain in Arlington.
There are four first timers in the steer wrestling. Jace Melvin from Fort Pierre, South Dakota is at the top of the list at 7th. Jace was a gear-bag toting cowboy growing up. When his older sister Jessica was the National Little Britches Queen the family made a trip to Las Vegas for the Miss Rodeo America Pageant. Jace's highlight of the whole trip was getting to shake Ty Murray's hand and getting his autograph. It wasn't long until his focus turned to timed events and that will see him in Arlington in December.

In ninth place is Jacob Edler from State Center, Iowa. Next is Bridger Anderson from Carrington, North Dakota. He won the College National Finals in 2019 and since that event was cancelled this year, he still holds the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association title. Bridger attended Northwestern Oklahoma State University to learn from Wrangler NFR qualifier Stockton Graves. He starts in 10th place. Football player turned steer wrestler Jesse Brown from Baker City, Oregon locked down the final spot with a check at the Pro Tour Finale in Rapid City, South Dakota the end of the season.
TEAM ROPING HEADERS
No one is surprised to see Oklahoma native Andrew Ward in the sixth spot for the headers. He and his brother Reagan have been in the top 25 while roping together and were co-champions at the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo in 2018. This year Andrew has been roping with his brother-in-law, Buddy Hawkins II.

Nelson Wyatt from Clanton, Alabama will start in 12th and his partner, Levi Lord is also an NFR rookie. Lucky 13 is Jeff Flenniken from Caldwell, Idaho. Jeff finished the 2018 season in 17th and then last year was 23rd but helped his partner Tyler Worley get to Vegas. This year they both qualified.
TEAM ROPING HEELERS
At the top of the list is two-time National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association champion Logan Medlin from Tatum, N.M. The second-generation roper is heeling for Charly Crawford. Logan's dad Jeff qualified for the NFR in 1991 and 1996. Paden Bray nearly qualified in 2019 at 17th place and earned the Rookie of the Year title. Paden is heeling for world champion Erich Rogers and the duo won more money than any other rodeo contestants over this year's Fourth of July run.
And then there is Levi Lord in 12th place. The name Lord is legendary in the Badlands Circuit and that is because of Levi's dad, J.B., who competed in steer wrestling and team roping and won multiple circuit titles. Levi and his dad have won the circuit together. His older brother Eli finished this year's season in 19th place in the steer wrestling. But Levi is the first of the family to qualify and have a chance at a gold buckle that says world champion on it.
What a year it's been for Wyatt Casper, who starts in first place and has a $30,000 lead over the man in second place, Ryder Wright. Wyatt won the college title for Clarendon (Texas) College in 2016, where his coach was NFR qualifier Bret Franks. The Pampa, Texas resident's season this year started great with Wyatt riding every horse that they put under him. It wasn't until RodeoHouston that he got bucked off. In fact, he has ridden 93% of the horses he has gotten on at rodeos this year.
Shorty Garrett comes from a long line of rodeo contestants and cowboys. His best year of his career so far sees him starting the NFR in fourth place. Lefty Holman also has a rodeo legacy behind him and will be doing his best to make them all proud. His grandfather, John Holman competed at the NFR In Oklahoma City from 1970 – 72. Hall of Famer Joe Marvel is his great uncle and he's likely to be paying attention during the steer wrestling at Globe Life Field – Dakota Eldridge is his uncle by marriage.
TIE-DOWN ROPING
There are only two newcomers in the tie-down roping field and what a journey this has been for both of them. Weston Hughes from Caldwell, Texas won the tie-down rookie title in 2016 he went hard in 2017 to finish 20th in the world. Then he thought maybe it would be easier to rodeo on the other end of the arena and started riding bareback horses. That was a devastating decision as one of those rides resulted in a broken roping arm. After that he had some herniated discs in his back that got infected. This year he has been healthy and achieved his NFR goal in fifth place.
Caddo Lewallen, Morrison, Oklahoma, also won the tie-down roping rookie – 16 years ago. Rodeo became a hobby for him. He got married had two daughters and went to work while competing at rodeos they could all go to and have fun. When he got the chance to make rodeo a priority, they were all ready. He had a great winter and a $25,000 check at The American pretty much sealed the deal for him this year.
WPRA BARREL RACE
Two years ago, Jimmie Smith from McDade, Texas was the rookie of the year while finishing a bachelor's degree in agricultural communications and journalism from Texas A&M. The next year she started on her master's degree at Texas A&M Commerce and finished the season just four positions out of the top 15. The quick learner used every lesson from the past two years to qualify for her first Wrangler NFR this year in fourth place. She's had most of her success aboard a palomino mare she calls Lena.
Jill Wilson from Snyder, Texas knew she had the horse power in Blue Dean, a gray gelding to get her to the NFR. Last year she set a goal of winning enough to qualify for the big rodeos in 2020. That worked and she finished second at the San Antonio Rodeo. She will start in 6th. Ryann Pedone, from Sunset, Texas has always been competitive, just not on the level of 2020. She will start in 11th place.
The last two spots in this year's field also belong to Wrangler NFR rookies Wenda Johnson, from Pawhuska, Oklahoma is 14th and Brittney Barnett from Stephenville, by way of California is 15th.
Ky Hamilton from Queensland, Australia has been Sage Kimzey's biggest threat this year and will start the NFR less than $3,000 behind the six-time world champion. Hamilton came over here to compete at the junior high and high school finals. Then college rodeo coach C.J. Aragon convinced him to further his education. He is currently competing in college for Sul Ross State University (Alpine, Texas), and is working his schooling around rodeos. In fifth place is Caldwell, Idaho's Brady Portneier. Brady joined the PRCA in 2013 and just three years ago was in the crying hole for his first Wrangler NFR. He is well inside the top 15 this year at fifth.
Colten Fritzlan from Rifle, Colorado is 10th, Parker McCown from Montgomery, Texas is 11th and Denton Fugate is 15th.
WPRA BREAKAWAY ROPING
It's safe to say that all of this year's breakaway ropers are Wrangler National Finals Breakaway Roping (NFBR) rookies as it is the first time that the event has been held. However, it is not the first time that breakaway ropers have competed for gold buckles and world titles. It will likely be the first time that any of them have roped on a baseball field and they are grateful for the opportunity. Their qualification and stories deserve a story of their own, so come back soon as I delve into the women at the inaugural Wrangler NFBR.

What are the principles of Serapis Culinar?
Serapis Culinar stands for ecological and sustainable products. With our own Bioland migratory apiary we move through Germany and reap our variety honey in the most diverse regions. We maintain long-term relationships with our suppliers and beekeepers abroad, support them in the ecological production of the products and support cultivation in accordance with Naturland directives. The passion for honey quickly led to a great deal of enthusiasm for alternative sweeteners and products based on them. With Serapis Culinar we offer diverse, sweet & exotic taste sensations.
Even then the Egyptians and Greeks worshiped their common god Serapis. He was the smartest god in the world; much smarter than all the gods before him. Serapis was not only the ruler of lightning, thunder and rain but also of the earth and the underworld. By being able to influence the rain and the sun, he was the protector of nature and therefore of all human beings.
His faithful companion was the hellhound Kerberos, he helped him to spread fertility across the land. Kerberos was a terrible figure. Even then he was terrifying people, he was a real monster. As frightening as he was, no one else was. Because his job was to protect the underworld. So he left no dead and no living in it. He is thus adapting to the cycle of nature to which life and dying belong.
Nature is responsible for all organic and inorganic phenomena in the world. She gives us our daily bread and feeds all the living things of this earth.
Even today Master Serapis takes responsibility for our nature. Because as Serapis Culinar he stands for a variety of foods from organic and sustainable cultivation. Together with his partners, he promotes organic farming in Germany as well as around the world. Therefore, many Serapis products are available in Bioland, Naturland or Fairtrade quality. He is also especially interested in his little helpers, the bees, who not only gather the delicious honey, but also take over his task and sow fertility all over the country. In his honor he supports the "Network Flowering Landscapes". So that our earth will continue to be fertile.
The liquid sweeteners are the classics in alternative cooking. In addition to fine date syrup, we also offer mild rice syrup and the exotic coconut blossom syrup for your creative cuisine. Let yourself be inspired by our variety of sweeteners. Our crystalline sugar alternatives are the perfect introduction to the world of alternative sweeteners. They are produced gently and according to strict organic guidelines.
Honey is one of the oldest and most natural sweeteners of our time. Discover the different tastes of our honey from Germany and around the world. In addition to classic varieties such as acacia honey and rapeseed, we also offer exotic varieties such as orange blossom honey from Italy and eucalyptus honey from Uruguay. For each glass of honey sold, we donate 5 cents to the network of flowering landscapes to protect the insect diversity in Germany.
The exotic coconut spread for the whole family. Mild agave syrup and fine coconut meet salty caramel, noble vanilla and dark cocoa. Three delicacies ideal for your breakfast roll, but also as a filling for cakes, pies and chocolates as well as for the creative cuisine.
The coconut blossom vinegar for our coconut blossom vinaigrette is obtained by natural fermentation and ripening from the freshly harvested flower juice of the coconut palm. It tastes wonderfully aromatic and slightly sour - but not like coconut. Due to the pleasantly fruity note of the cranberry and lime syrup, as well as the sweetness of the coconut blossom nectar, the vinaigrettes are particularly delicious. Simply pure in a salad or as a secret ingredient for dressings, marinades, sauces and dips.
Shea butter is gently extracted from the sun-dried kernels of the sheathing tree and, with its slightly nutty flavor, is ideal for refining hearty dishes, desserts and pastries.

Q: Labview IMAQ WindDraw External Display Embedding I am working in labview on using multiple gig-e industrial cameras to display a set of images for a semi-automatic test system with data and human visual inspection.
The main issue that I have currently encountered with the vision software is that screen tearing corrupts the display of the video making it hard to observe the dynamic aspect of the test. There is a VI control called the IMAQ WindDraw external image display that has an anti-tearing option that appears to work but I need to embed 4-5 video displays into one window and not show the title bars/window buttons. Basically I want to tie the external displays to the front panel VI and run them in a windowed full screen mode.
The front panel VI will not need to be scrolled or be resizeable as the system is dedicated to the task.

A: Here's an example that uses one of the Vision DLLs to include an IMAQ WinDraw external display into the front panel of a VI.
Hope this helps.
Ah... as a new user I can't post images... Oh well.
You can use the NIVisWnd.dll (to be found in C:\WINDOWS\system32)  to get the IMAQ WinDraw external image's handle (function name is : GetWindowHandle) and then use user32.dll to make external image child of FP (function name is : SetParent).

salmon migration map
Sockeye Salmon were captured in the estuary (where red arrow is pointing). You used analysis tools to create upstream watershed areas from river barriers, determined the area that salmon could potentially access via a new fishway, and calculated the amount of habitat available within this area. Finally, you labeled your map to clearly display your findings. A result box appears to confirm that your custom label is valid. In this section, you'll add hydrology data for all freshwater features found within the Mersey River Watershed to your map. The geographic pattern of smolt out-migration timing was more pronounced than the researchers expected. (AP) — The life-or-death journey made by mule deer during the second-longest big game migration in North America came down to their ability to squeeze through a fence — a discovery made by scientists using wildlife GPS tracking techniques to map animal migrations in the West in unprecedented detail. The young salmon, called parr, spend one to three years in or very near the stream where they were born. This can make it difficult or impossible for them to reach the habitats they need to … First, you'll open a map of the Mersey River Watershed. To determine how much salmon spawning habitat would be made available, you will isolate this region using the Overlay Layers tool. Range map of sockeye salmon in the State of Alaska. Fewer and fewer salmon are able to navigate the waters leading inland from the Pacific Ocean due to dams and higher water temperatures. Before the construction can be seriously considered, determining the amount of habitat made accessible is paramount. In Pacific Northwest, Restoring Salmon Migration Routes Would Carry Big Benefits A salmon breaches a stream during its annual run. Atlantic salmon favor cool freshwater streams with silt-free substrate and fast-flowing, oxygen-rich water. Although detailed field surveys, habitat assessments, and local analysis would be required, this initial work you've completed today represents an important first step in the funding application process. We are usually 28 to 30 inches long, and weigh 8 to 12 pounds; however, people have reported catching us weighing over 100 pounds. (AP) — The life-or-death journey made by mule deer during the second-longest big game migration in North America came down to their ability to squeeze through a fence — a discovery made by scientists using wildlife GPS tracking techniques to map animal migrations in the West in unprecedented detail. Atlantic salmon are over-fished and salmon farming is fraught with environmental costs. Figure 3 – Gulf of The area that would be made accessible by a fishway is in the southern extent of the watershed, where the two watershed layers do not overlap. They continue to hunt for food, hiding under and between rocks. You'll calculate the total length of streams within the boundary of the Difference in Watershed Area layer. The fourth dam is symbolized as having a fishway. You can find more lessons in the Learn ArcGIS Lesson Another query box is added to the Filter window. In recent years, studies have shown that in the open ocean environment, salmon use the magnetic field of the Earth to guide their migration. If you take a closer look at the imagery, it's possible to see a fishway northeast of the point feature. Whether you're into fishing or not, the fall salmon migration, also known as the "salmon run", attracts people from all across the Greater Toronto Area. The resulting atlas of […] Without the use of the imagery basemap, it would appear that fish could not navigate past dams 1 or 3. Most Pacific salmon can be seen migrating from spring though fall, depending on the species. Special thanks to NSLC Adopt A Stream staff for your input and advice. Alaska Department of Fish and Game P.O. Fishing for landlocked Atlantic salmon is allowed. The map zooms to the Mersey River Watershed. The Create Watersheds tool calculates the drainage area of a point based on ArcGIS Online hydrologic data (curated, authoritative data maintained and hosted by Esri). Atlantic salmon is one of the largest salmon species. To learn more, click the information buttons next to the Create Watersheds tool and its parameters. This layer is not necessary for future analysis, so you will remove it. A salmon leaps out of a vessel being used to transport fish up the Fraser River last summer. We are fished by commercial fisherman out in the ocean, but no recreational or commercial fishing is allowed once we have returned to our rivers in the United States. You've been assigned to search for a potential fishway location on the Mersey River Watershed, which is outlined in yellow (a watershed is the area of land within whose boundaries all water drains to the same final location). Every four years, millions of sockeye salmon journey thousands of miles from the ocean back to their native spawning grounds in Canada's Fraser River. How else could a fish circumvent this barrier? You can add a … The map zooms in, and now you can see more detail in the imagery layer. You'll change the label style so it's easier to see at all map extents. The salmon run is the time when salmon, which have migrated from the ocean, swim to the upper reaches of rivers where they spawn on gravel beds. Port Hope has closed public access and trails along the Ganaraska River ahead of this year's salmon migration. Atlantic salmon are an anadromous fish, that begins their life in freshwater and migrates to the ocean to feed and grow, and returns to freshwater to spawn. All rights reserved. Salmon use their extremely precise olfactory senses to zoom in on the exact location of their spawning ground, but they first have to navigate to the general area. In this scenario, you're interested in identifying features that could represent potential high-quality salmon spawning habitat. Some of us have been "landlocked" in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain since the retreat of the glaciers, and we do not migrate out to the ocean. A study suggests that Pacific salmon are born with an in-built "magnetic map" that helps them to migrate over thousands of kilometres. In this lesson, as a GIS technician, you'll identify the best locations for constructing these aquatic bypasses. You've been assigned to search for a potential fishway location on the Mersey River Watershed, which is outlined in yellow (a watershed is the area of land within whose boundaries all water drains to the same final location). Box 115526 1255 W. 8th Street Juneau, AK 99811-5526 When the operation finishes, a feature layer that represents the difference in watershed area is added to the map. Salmon are staging off the Marin coast for their annual fall migration … You'll now use the ArcGIS World Imagery Basemap to examine each dam on the Mersey River. This provides a list of valid attribute values for the selected field. You're concerned with dams that block the main branch and tributaries (smaller streams that feed into the main branch of the river). More than 24 kilometers of freshwater streams would be made available by the construction of a fishway on dam 5. We are always curious how our data are being used. Fascinated people visit their local waters to catch a glimpse of the salmon's upstream journey. In many locations, the imagery will allow you to determine if a dam was constructed with a fishway. Next, you'll examine the second dam to learn how to visually identify a fishway in the imagery. Having completed this exercise, you've learned to derive a simple estimate of available aquatic habitat. When they are about 6 inches long, they are called smolts and ready to live in saltwater. In a 1998 experiment, researchers transported hatchery-raised sockeye salmon, some of them blind, several kilometers away from the area of their birth in Japan's Lake Toya. You determined which dam is most likely to have the greatest impact on Atlantic salmon migration. (Repeat steps 2 through 12, substituting dam 6 in each instance where dam 5 is mentioned.). Now, you'll estimate the amount of salmon spawning habitat that would be made accessible by the proposed fishway. Coho salmon also show resident migration patterns, and we are tracking them as well. You've performed a careful visual inspection of each dam in the Mersey River Watershed. You do not need to choose a field to group by (because you've already filtered your data to only include streams), so you'll skip this optional setting. The construction of a fishway is an expensive process, both in terms of financial requirements and planning effort. This map was created to assess candidate dams for fishway construction in the Mersey River, Nova Scotia, Canada. Next, you'll calculate the watershed area that could be made available by constructing a fishway on dam 5. Now that you've determined the total amount of habitat made available, you'll label this in your map. The number of Chinook salmon has increased since being listed in 1999, although population numbers remain well below target abundances. They remain for one to three years before returning to their home river to reproduce. You've isolated the watershed area upstream from dam 5 that would be made accessible if a fishway was constructed. The Summarize Within tool generates statistics on features that fall within the boundary of a polygon layer. In the coastal province of Nova Scotia, dams prevent these fish from reaching the freshwater they need for spawning. Some fish spend their lives in both fresh water and salt water. Hood Canal Summer chum salmon populations have shown some increases since their listing. The Salmon SEEson program helps people witness this amazing migration at locations around King County. Estimate the total amount of spawning habitat made available by the fishway construction. Two new layers are added to the map: the watershed layer and an adjusted points layer. Remove your name or initials from the name of the new layer. The search distance parameter specifies the distance from the point that the tool will search to find the largest drainage line. At that time, little was known about the spawning, rearing, migration, and life history of this species. Seattle Salmon Migration. Both dams are on the same river, so they will have similar upstream drainage areas. Oncorhynchus tshawytscha By the Numbers. This check box will calculate the total length of the line features in the area boundary. People are helping us by removing or modifying dams so we can reach our spawning grounds. While this dam is on the Mersey River, it appears to create a holding pond rather than block the entire river. Good morning Austin, If you don't already have Google Earth Pro on your computer, I suggest you download it (it is free - use the key GEPFREE). Their species name, salar, means the leaper because of its amazing ability to leap over rapids and low waterfalls to reach spawning habitat. You will also calculate the watershed area upstream from dam 6, so you can identify the difference—only the watershed area that fish could access if a fishway is constructed on dam 5. They become silvery in color and then migrate to the ocean, swimming and surfing the ocean currents to their feeding grounds near Greenland! The fish ladder at Corbett's Dam and trails from Molson street to south of Robertson street, and to the south end of the east pier are closed as of Wednesday, Sept. 2. You will zoom to the study area to begin your analysis. To show features that best represent this habitat, you'll filter the Mersey Hydrology layer. Source: Ocean Ecology. The … The extent is Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, with some data in British Columbia, Canada.This product integrates DPS/ESU boundary data with population boundary data (defined by Technical Recovery Teams). The Salmon SEEson website provides information on salmon-spotting locations throughout King County – from small streams and large rivers, to the Ballard Locks and hatcheries. The adults seek cold freshwater to spend the summer, and move to swift-running gravelly rivers or streams to spawn in October and November. The fish's ability to jump several feet helps it clear obstacles such as waterfalls when making its way to natal streams to spawn, and is crucial to its survival. Instead they migrate back out to the ocean to feed and recover, and if they are not eaten, they return to spawn again. They use olfactory (smell) cues to find their home rivers where they were hatched. Dams located closer to the outlet of the watercourse have a greater impact on stream connectivity than those located farther upstream. We are very nutritious and a valuable food source for many animals. A new point layer appears in the map. Title: This one-hour training seminar shows you how to maintain optimal performance while displaying thousands - or even millions - of map features. Use imagery to determine which dam is most suitable for a new fishway. Migrating salmon use the world's longest fish ladder to pass Whitehorse Rapids Dam, the only human obstruction in the Yukon River system. Until the early 1800's, more than 100,000 salmon swam up the Penobscot River in Maine every spring. A filter uses logical expressions to find features in a layer based on attribute values in its table. Notice that calculating the watershed area upstream from dam 5 includes the area upstream from dams 6 and 7. Our upper body, head and fins sometimes have small black crosses and spots, or red and blue spots when we are young. From the current extent, aquatic connectivity along the Mersey River is troubling. The second dam is symbolized as having a fishway. Alaska Department of Fish and Game P.O. You also learned, by comparing your dam data to satellite imagery, that it can take multiple data sources to understand a problem. At this scale, you cannot easily decide if the dam has a possible impact on fish passage, so you will zoom in farther. In the previous section, you identified your area of interest as the difference between the watersheds of dams 5 and 6. Figure 1 – Atlantic salmon travel thousands of miles to their North Atlantic feeding grounds (arrows), usually near western Greenland. You'll examine each of the dams on the Mersey River to determine which is most suitable for a new fishway. These two dams could potentially restrict fish passage up the entire river. Males can become more green or red when they are ready to spawn. Our numbers are very low primarily due to dams and overfishing. Satellite imagery is updated periodically, so the images on your computer may differ. Why would engineers spend time, money, and energy to construct a fishway that fish can't access from downstream locations? Changing All to Any means that features that are either WARV50 or WARV55 will display in the map when you apply the filter. Young Atlantic salmon spend two to three years in their home river before going on a one to three year journey in the North Atlantic where they grow into an adult. CHEYENNE, Wyo. We have a small adipose fin between our dorsal and tail fins. You'll return to the third dam to investigate. They have been using the same river to spawn for thousands of years. Many rivers in Maine were home to Atlantic salmon. Only small numbers of us return to North America now, mostly to Maine and eastern Canada. You've been provided with data for dams in the Mersey River Watershed, but it's possible that the data has not been updated to reflect upgrades to old dams. Salmon are sometimes captured and tagged in one section of a river, then an attempt is made to re-capture the same fish farther upstream in an effort to study the pace of the migration, along with in-river mortality because of angling pressure, predator activities or disease. From this web page you can access maps from the Salmon Watcher Program, which ran from 1996 through 2015. To help you zoom to the appropriate dams, turn on numbered labels for the Dams layer: Point to the Dams layer, click the More Options button, and choose Create Labels. The annual salmon migration occurs in the late summer and early fall and is a popular tourist attraction for both anglers and tourists, typically attracting thousands of visitors annually. This course will get you started using ArcGIS GeoPlanner to consider green infrastructure in your design. 1 of 2 Bob Love with a 20-pound salmon last week on the "Salmon Highway" out the Golden Gate along the Marin coast. Copyright © 2020 Esri. Zoom in to dam 5, and ensure that no other dam features are visible in your current extent (you want to calculate the watershed using only the data that is visible in the map). Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) Quick Facts: Scientific name: Oncorhynchus kisutch. You'll inspect the imagery to see if dams have been upgraded with fishways. Fish (like salmon) that hatch in fresh water and migrate to live the majority of their lives in the ocean before returning to fresh water to spawn are called "Anadromous". Salmon are born in freshwater. However, for Atlantic salmon conservation, the item of importance is not watershed area but the amount of freshwater streams available for spawning. New items created by analysis operations must have unique names within your ArcGIS Online organization; otherwise, their URLs will conflict. You'll notice a branch of the river that deviates from the main channel. Running the analysis with this box checked ensures that the analysis is completed only on the desired dam (the one shown in the current map extent). | Privacy | Legal, Mersey River Watershed - Candidate Fishway Locations. People say we are delicious to eat! Maps and GIS data. After the layer draws, you can see that the layer contains hydrology features that are within the Mersey River Watershed boundary, such as rivers, streams, and lakes. And our smaller numbers are being supplemented by national fish hatcheries. The map is saved to My Content, which you can access from the content page. The dams on the main branch of the river are symbolized in blue and red (blue indicates a fishway is present; red indicates that there is no fishway). The annual salmon migration in Ontario is a magical time of year in the Great Lakes. Fish Distribution and Salmon Watcher Site Maps. The map opens to the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Maine. Before you can quantify the amount of spawning habitat that would be made accessible by a fishway on dam 5, you must calculate the watershed area upstream. Two dams without fishways are located near the outlet of the river where the Mersey River meets the Atlantic Ocean. You'll want to return to this view, so you'll save it as a bookmark. Unlike their Pacific cousins, Atlantic salmon do not normally die after spawning. Close the pop-up and, if necessary, zoom out one or two levels so you can see the holding pond to the right of the dam. The eggs hatch in April and May. After spawning, all Pacific salmon and most Atlantic salmon die, and the salmon life cycle starts over again. Some types of salmon begin their migration downstream soon after emergence, while others stay in freshwater for a year or more. In the Label Features pane, for Text, choose Dam ID. Now that you've added the hydrology layer and filtered the data to extract the habitat that is most suitable for salmon spawning, you'll summarize the amount of habitat made available with the construction of a fishway. Your map contains two watershed layers symbolized in cyan blue. They live off of their body fat for a year or longer. Fish illustration by Laury Zicari, USFWS, Retired. Most adult Atlantic salmon migrate up the rivers of New England beginning in spring and continuing through the fall as well, with the migration peaking in June. Learn how to access smart mapping and how to start altering your cartography. Our Gulf of Maine population (Figure 3) is endangered. Atlantic salmon populations are dwindling. Sockeye salmon exhibited a fairly simple migration pattern, holding for a short period in warm water (median 18.4 oC) in the upper estuary and canal (mean 3.6 d), then migrating to the lake and residing in cold-water areas (mean 10.3 oC) at depths of 40 m (mean 88.3 d). In this lesson, you visually examined a series of dams on the Mersey River and learned to use aerial imagery to find a good candidate location for a new fishway. Although coho tend to remain close to the coastline, they have been found as far as 1600 km from shore. If you want to enjoy eating salmon sustainably, then wild-caught Pacific salmon from Alaska is the best option, according to the Marine Conservation Society's Good Fish Guide. Atlantic salmon are an anadromous fish, that begins their life in freshwater and migrates to the ocean to feed and grow, and returns to freshwater to spawn. Without a fishway, it seems that Atlantic salmon would not be able to access areas upstream from this dam. Washington Salmon Migration. You're particularly interested in dams that are symbolized as having no fishway (red points), but you'll examine the imagery surrounding all the dam sites for a clear assessment of fish passage upstream. You can also access the Perform Analysis pane by clicking the Analysis button on the ribbon. The adjusted points layer contains the actual location used to calculate the watershed. You'll save your own copy of the map to make changes to it. The map opens to the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. 2,000 Distance in miles that some Yukon River Chinook migrate upstream.. 126 Weight (pounds) of largest Chinook documented (near Petersburg, AK).. 8 Upper age in years of spawning adults.. How to Identify Me. Range map of Chinook salmon in the State of Alaska. The dam is located on the river, so a search distance of 0 is appropriate. Previously, you identified which dam is the best candidate for constructing a fishway. The label is added to the map, but it's difficult to read against the imagery. Change the font size to 18 and the color to white or yellow, and then click OK. The adult Atlantic salmon stop eating once they return to freshwater. Can you see anything that might explain why a dam with a fishway was built upstream from a dam that restricts fish passage? To address this issue, officials are considering retrofitting dams in the Mersey River Watershed with artificial waterways so Atlantic salmon can swim upstream and access fresh water. Chum migration map Coho salmon Coho salmon. Some kinds of salmon can travel as far as 1,000 miles (1,500km) upriver to lay their eggs in the same place they were born. Once the layer has been created, you can rename it in your map. For each of the three remaining dams, there have been no upgrades to infrastructure. Young Atlantic salmon spend two to three years in their home river before going on a one to three year journey in … Its table stores the summary information that you want, which you can also see in the legend. Map of British Columbia's Skeena River system. If you turned on numbered labels for the Dams layer earlier, turn them off: In the list of results, locate the layer named, At the top of the symbol window, confirm that the, On the color palette, click a darker orange color, and click, Under the input box for attribute values, choose, From the list of attribute values, choose, Above the query boxes, change the query expression match type from, "Fishway opens 24.44 km salmon spawning habitat", Overlay layers to find the difference in watershed area, Publisher or Administrator role in an ArcGIS organization (get a, Nova Scotia hydrology data was acquired from. Expressions use the general form of . If you take a closer look at the imagery, you can confirm there is a fishway north of the dam. Then, you'll use the result to summarize a stream dataset to determine the potential amount of accessible salmon spawning habitat. The third dam is symbolized as having no fishway. The default symbology makes it difficult to distinguish between the Difference in Watershed Area layer and the Mersey Hydrology layer. The Migration of Salmon in the Bay Area. CNN's Bill Weir reports. The 2015 geodatabase was created to standardize geospatial data for salmon and steelhead listed under the Endangered Species Act. They travel over 6,000 miles before coming back home to spawn. Chinook salmon My Scientific Name. Figure 2 – Atlantic salmon bury their fertilized eggs under a foot of gravel in nests called redds. We are bright and silvery with a brown and blue-green back, and a white belly. This concerns Canada because Atlantic salmon are the country's top aquaculture export. Today, there are many obstacles that make it hard for them to use some of these rivers. For this reason, dam 5 is the most suitable dam on the watershed for fishway construction. You'll open a map that contains dam locations, and aerial imagery from ArcGIS Online. The features of interest will appear on the map; all the others will be hidden (but not deleted). A Custom window appears with a script area and functions to build a custom label. Figure 2. They sometimes swim 200 miles up the river to find their preferred places to spawn. Thanks to NOAA-Fisheries for primary funding, and everyone who is helping. Why is this important? If you don't have an organizational account, you can sign up for an ArcGIS free trial. Fish that bypass dam 5 will be restricted by dam 6 and will not have access to that area. We would like to hear from you! Continue the process of navigating upstream to visually inspect the dams for fishways or natural channels that enable fish passage. Barriers to migration: Barriers, such as dams and hydroelectric power plants, and poorly designed culverts at road crossings can delay or prevent juvenile salmon swimming downstream and adults swimming upstream. Box 115526 1255 W. 8th Street Juneau, AK 99811-5526 Gallery. Notice that the map displays fewer hydrology features: only small streams, which are most suitable for Atlantic salmon spawning.

Last update on March 20, 2005 .
Spent the bulk of the day (when not on the phone with Natasha or attending a relative's dedication ceremony) working on the presentation. I'm pretty much satisfied with the current state, not because it's perfect but because I could stand up with it today and do a decent presentation, everything from here on out is polishing.
Tomorrow is likely to be another all-day meeting for the unified billing project (D'Arcy's lead on it, but I'm helping with requirements collection). Then have to think about doing some packing and making sure we really do have a hotel for Tuesday (hotels.ca still hasn't responded to my email).
