(1/3) Spotted in the new mouth of the Don River: blobs! These jelly‑like blobs are bryozoans, and seeing not just one but lots of them is a great sign that we’ve built first‑class aquatic habitat.

It's never been more important to learn about your greater watershed and local waterways, especially those buried or forced into narrow channels with no natural flood protection around them.

"Years later, the work continues... They've placed logs & branches in the stream to moderate the water's flow and allow sediment in the water to filter it as they would in any natural waterway so that ultimately the water is leaving Havergal cleaner than when it entered." www.cbc.ca/news/science...

A fascinating look at how we got here, where the water runs, and how climate change is forcing us to reckon with that history. "Canada’s three largest cities have something in common — they’re not just built along bodies of water, they’re built over them." newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...
