After 4 months and 160,000 pounds of lettuce, Florida plans to wind down manatee feeding program

pilot feeding program designed to reduce starvation issues amongst Florida manatees will soon conclude as experts say warmer waters are helping to disperse the population to their summer habitats, lessening the strain on natural resources.The first of its type feeding effort was started by state and federal agencies in December because seagrass, the mammal’s natural food, was in short supply, especially in their winter habitat zones.During the four-month pilot program, it’s estimated the animals ate more than 160,000 pounds of lettuce, but there were questions during the multi-agency effort on whether the aquatic herbivores would eat the human-provided supplements.HOW TO WATCH FOX WEATHER ON TV"I’m pleased to say that virtually all of it was eaten since we started this effort in mid-December. There were three weeks or so in there when we were still trying to get animals over to the site and to get them interested.

Climate change is worsening allergy season, scientists find

allergies are driven by the pollen in the air.But, according to scientists, the warming of the plant is making winter shorter, causing plants, including trees, grass and flowers, to bloom earlier and for longer periods of time — contributing to a worsening allergy season for millions of Americans. California poppies and Canterbury bells bloom at Diamond Valley Lake, near Hemet, California. (Credit: David McNew/Getty Images) In addition, climatologists say excess carbon dioxide generated from burning fossil fuels is helping make even more pollen, thus adding to the problem. "Pollen seasons have, are now starting about 20 days earlier, and there’s about 20 percent more pollen in the air," said William Anderegg, a biologist and climate scientist at the University of Utah.

Biden: Infrastructure law to give $1B toward Great Lakes pollution cleanup

LORAINE, Ohio - President Joe Biden on Thursday traveled to Ohio to highlight how the bipartisan infrastructure law will dedicate $1 billion toward a long-delayed cleanup and restoration program for "areas of concern" along the Great Lakes. Biden, who visited the northeastern Ohio city of Loraine on Lake Erie, announced how funding from the $1 trillion package will benefit the lakes — which hold about one-fifth of the world’s fresh surface water. Both the $1 billion boost and annual funding through an ongoing recovery program will help finish work on 22 sites designated 25 years ago as among the region's most degraded. "We’re investing like never, ever in history," the president said. The lakes provide drinking water for 40 million people and underpin the economy in eight Northeastern and Midwestern states and two Canadian provinces.
