Over the past few weeks, a #phytoplankton #bloom has been observed in the northern Adriatic Sea.

High temperatures and freshwater inputs from recent heavy rainfall have favoured the bloom.

The freshwater input has reduced the sea surface salinity, creating an ideal environment for the rapid proliferation of phytoplankton.

Rising temperatures have further accelerated the process, making the bloom so large that it is even visible from space.

The bloom has also led to the formation of #mucilage, which has accumulated along the coasts of some Italian regions bordering the Adriatic Sea.

This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 7 August 2024,
shows both the mucilage (in white) and the phytoplankton bloom (in green) off the coast of the city of Rimini.

I almost forgot #caturday! Earlier this week my wife finish crocheting a throw. As soon as she went to bed Tigger hopped up and laid down on it.

He seemed quite proud of the bed mom made for him. He slept there all night.

That's always a lie, just like the plastics companies advertising about recycling.


I'd like to know about and follow more artists on the fediverse, so let's do an Art Share!

RULES:
1.- Share in the replies your art, music, animations, whatever creative medium you do, and introduce yourself on it
2.- Keep it Safe For Work
3.- Though it's not obligatory, please consider adding ALT Text to your works!
4.- Boost this post so it reaches more people and artists!

I'll go first, I'm Anubi, and I do various pixel art works!

#ArtShare #MastoArt #FediArt #Art

in reply to ch0ccyra1n is leaving fedi soon

@ch0ccyra1n if you do it consistently (even 5 minutes per day), you'll get better over the years

doing art is a long journey, where you always learn new things along the way, so don't worry if right now you aren't good at it, you'll be able to do greater things as time goes on

it's lovely looking, but I found performance went through the floor on steamdeck once your game got going and stuff was going on

I love the puzzle mode. At the start it's pretty easy. But once you hit the stages with the rivers, it gets gnarly pretty quickly 🙂
