A conceptual diagram illustrates the main threats and key features of the Upper-Mississippi River Sub-Basin. Some of these threats include harmful algal blooms, power plants and urban centers. Diagram from — Main Threats and Key Features of the Upper…

The Niobrara River is where six major biomes converge to form a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Threats to the river arise from fire exclusion leading to the expansion of ponderosa pine into grassland area, changes in microclimates, the spread of invasive plants and the high volume of visitors during peak periods. — Niobrara National Scenic River Resources and…

A map shows that land use in the Ohio River Basin is dominated by developed, forested and cropland areas. Diagram from — Ohio River Basin Land Use

A conceptual diagram illustrates the dates and locations of different Mississippi River Report Card workshops. The workshop process is used to bring different groups together to strengthen the report card and promote broad prospectives, dialogue and collaboration. — Mississippi River Report Card Workshop Timeline

The diagram lists potential indicators for the Ohio River Basin that were generated at the workshop. The goals listed in this diagram are representative of the things people value in the Ohio River Basin watershed. — Potential Indicators for the Ohio River Basin

The Lower Mississippi River Basin supports a diversity of uses, dependent upon both natural and human engineered systems. This conceptual diagram illustrates the main threats and key features of the river basin. — Threats and Features of the Lower Mississippi…

Several connections were made at the Lower Mississippi River Basin workshops. These connections will be used to develop a basin-wide report card for the watershed. — Lower Mississippi Workshop Connections

The Chesapeake Bay watershed received an above average annual amount of precipitation in 2013. This accompanied degrading conditions in some regions of the Chesapeake Bay watershed and improving conditions in others. — Chesapeake Bay Watershed Percipitation Map 2013

Unsustainable fishing and aquaculture practices have put pressure on the Chilika Lake ecosystem. Dead fish thrown back into the water contaminate the lake while shrimp pens trap sediment and kill juvenile fish. — Chilika Lake Fishing and Aquaculture Pressures

Native to India, introduced to Hawaii Island in 1883 (via Jamaica, where it was also introduced), then introduced to Maui, Molokai, and Oahu; none were introduced on the island of Kauai. Mongoose were imported by the sugar industry to control rats in cane fields. This infamous mistake was made without much knowledge about mongoose. Mongoose, which are active during the day, did not control the rats because the rats are primarily active at night. — Herpestes javanicus (Small Asian Mongoose)

Improvements in water quality can be counteracted by changes in nutrient sources and land-use practices. Increased nutrient loads from stormwater and intensified agriculture often overwhelm the positive effects of best management practices. — Counteracting Factors Impacting Best Management…

Emergent wetland species are planted in a buoyant matrix that floats at the water surface. The roots of these plants grow through the matrix and take up the nutrients they need to grow directly from the water, potentially decreasing nutrient concentrations. — Floating Wetlands Structure and Impact

Gutters and downspouts installed onto buildings direct rainwater from roofs to rain gardens. Plants with deep root systems encourage stormwater infiltration and absorbs excess nutrient runoff. — Multiple Benefits of Rain Gardens

This killdeer nest of nothing more than a shallow depression in the gravel, was found a busy marina parking lot. The owners of the marina placed cinder blocks around the well-camouflaged nest to prevent cars from running over the eggs. The killdeer mother was standing nearby when this photo was taken.
This photo was taken in Easton, MD on May 22, 2014. — Nest and eggs of a Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)
