The video on the YouTube channel provides an educational overview of various coastal management strategies aimed at protecting coastlines from erosion and flooding. It covers both hard engineering methods such as sea walls, rock armor, gabions, and wooden groins, as well as soft engineering approaches like beach nourishment and dune regeneration, detailing their advantages and […]

This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to check water quality parameters in a hydroponic system at Firebird Farm using the Nutrient Film Technique system. The first step is to ensure the tank is full and then measure pH, electrical conductivity, and temperature using a probe. Adjustments can be made using additives for pH […]

In this video, Emily Warren discusses her research on sea urchins for aquaculture at the Ontario Aquaculture Research Center. She focuses on improving the quality of sea urchin row through different diets and water temperatures, aiming to make the marketable product more sustainable. The overpopulation of sea urchins in the wild poses a threat to […]

The Little Inventors Challenge mission Protector Oceans, led by Anserk in partnership with the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, aims to address the issue of ocean pollution and its impact on the environment through innovative inventions. With over 300 million tons of plastics produced yearly, most of which ends up in the ocean, and oil pollution […]

Coastal erosion is a serious concern for waterfront property buyers as it can lead to loss or displacement of land due to natural and man-made factors such as wave action, development, and climate change. Control methods include soft and hard erosion control as well as relocation. The story of Thomas and Kathleen Dennis highlights the […]

In today’s video, the difference between pickling and fermentation is explored, including their preparation and health benefits. Pickled vegetables are shelf-stable due to pasteurization, while fermented vegetables are stored in the refrigerator for long-term stability, with fermentation promoting probiotic growth. Pickling uses a brine of water, vinegar, and salt, while fermentation uses just water and […]

The data fabric is an architectural approach and set of technologies that break down data silos and enable accessing, ingesting, integrating, and sharing data across an enterprise in a governed manner. It eliminates the need to copy and move data into central repositories and supports multiple tools and platforms for analytics, operational reporting, and building […]

By 2050, global food production will need to increase by 70% in developed countries to meet consumption demands. Traditional farming methods require a large amount of land that is already being used for agriculture, leading to deforestation. Vertical farming, such as seaweed farming, offers a sustainable solution with microgreens grown year-round using less resources. Seaweed […]

Increasing urbanization is impacting biodiversity in both land and ocean habitats, with marine urban structures disrupting natural marine habitats and biodiversity. To address this issue, the Living Seawalls project was founded by scientists and industrial designers to improve marine structures for the benefit of marine biodiversity. By designing panels that resemble natural shoreline habitats, the […]
