STS062-85-021 (4-18 March 1994) --- The Mississippi River is the largest river system in North America. Its delta is a typical example of the bird's foot class of river deltas. It drains nearly 3 1/2 million square kilometers of real estate and is estimated to carry 2.4 billion kilograms (more than 500 million tons) of sand, silt, and clay to the Gulf of Mexico annually. Most of this sediment is deposited as a delta at the mouth of the river where the velocity of the river water is slowed and its ability to transport sediment is accordingly diminished. Continued deposition at such a site progrades the delta or extends it seaward into the Gulf as much as 150 meters each year until such time as a flooding episode finds a shorter more efficient channel to deliver sediment-laden river waters to the Gulf. At that time the old delta is abandoned and the river begins to build a new delta. In time, compaction of the sediment in the old delta causes it to subside forming first marshes, then bay

France, Brittany, Dinan on 2021-09-15. The citizen movement of the shared gardens proposes to the inhabitants to produce themselves fruits and vegetables in urban agriculture. The objective is not only productive, because behind this movement, there is a real social and educational interest. It is now spreading all over the world and not only in big cities like here, in Dinan, a small town of 11000 inhabitants in Brittany documented through the vegetable garden of Graines en Folies also located in the priority district of Cite Lecuyer.

Fischernetz Bereits für das Mesolithikum sind Fischernetze und Seile aus Weidenbast nachgewiesen. Seit den 1960er Jahren werden Fischernetze nicht mehr aus den leicht vergänglichen Naturstoffen Hanf, Sisal oder Leinen hergestellt, sondern aus synthetischen Stoffen wie Polypropylen, Polyethylen und Nylon. Verlorene Netze verrotten am Meeresgrund erst nach 400 bis 600 Jahren. Already for the Mesolithic fishing nets and ropes made of willow bast are proven. Since the 1960s, fishing nets have no longer been made from the easily transient natural materials hemp, sisal or linen, but from synthetic materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene and nylon. Lost nets only rot on the seabed after 400 to 600 years. Copyright: xZoonar.com/IngridxRuchx 22139154
