i found a hatchet half-buried in the muddy wetlands. i rinsed him off in some stormwater and carried him the rest of the way home. i realize now that i should have just let him be, but that didn't occur to me until it was too late. now, i suppose, we wait

addited: finnie agrees that nothing good can come of this

FishCraft Series | Water

The most basic of basics when it comes to fish, and aquariums, is the water.

Saltwater

Saltwater is the more difficult of the choices to work with. The chemistry involved is a little more serious to maintain as the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are more problematic to control than they are in freshwater. The specific gravity (salinity) is also something that must be constantly monitored. I do not reccomend this choice to the beginner aquarist.

This option does come with some magical benefits however. Saltwater magnifies magical intentions, and is great for cleansing, purification, and protection due to the salt content. In my opinion, for the purposes of FishCraft, having a saltwater tank will keep your spell charged longer than just freshwater, and intensify your personal magic and intentions.

Saltwater is also the cradle all life is born from. As such, I find that using it in witchcraft, not just FishCraft, is very beneficial for spells relating to health, long life, and general well being.

Freshwater

Going for simple, clean, dechlorinated freshwater is not only just as beneficial, but also much easier for the beginning aquarist.

In FishCraft there are a few ways you can interpret the magical properties of freshwater. They all have one thing in common, the flow of the water.

If the water is stagnant, like a lake or pond, its great for self reflection, peace, relaxation, and contentment. I personally find still waters excellent for curse or hex reflection.

If the water is slow moving like a creek or stream, its energies are best used for purification and cleansing.

If you have a serious, heavy duty current pump in your tank the water will be like that of a river. River water is best used for change, moving forward, overcoming challenges, and protection.

Brackish Water

Brackish water occurs where freshwater rivers or streams run into the ocean or sea. The salinity content is much lower in brackish tanks than a saltwater setup, and is a little easier to maintain.

Because a brackish tank is both fresh and saltwater its almost the "white candle" of FishCraft. It takes on magical properties of both environments, as well as adding its own flavor to the mix.

Brackish water is mysterious, where it occurs in nature tends to be murky, muddy, and obscured with low visability. This aspect makes it perfect, in my opinion, for use in a curse - to muddy ones eyesight or perception for example.

Its also good for adding mystery, to yourself, your situation, your love life...wherever you feel some mysterious energy is needed most. Brackish water also has a balancing energy, as many plants that grow in a brackish environment are baneful, while many others are not.

To put the properties of each water type in simpler terms, this post will conclude with them in list format.

Saltwater

• Cleansing • Purification • Magnify magical intent • Health • Longevity • General Well Being

Freshwater

• Calm Water - self reflection - curse/hex reflection - peace - contentment - relaxation

• Slow current - purification - cleansing

• Fast current - change - moving forward - overcoming challenges - protection

Brackish Water

• Balance • Mystery • Low visibility curses • Curses in general • Protection • Magnify magical intent

Mangroves are tree families unlike any others, providing local communities and the planet with a long list of benefits.

Trees are crucial to a healthy world as they support the planet with many vital functions. Most trees cannot survive in saltwater, but mangroves have adapted to live in high salinity environments. Mangroves can live in such harsh conditions due to their unique root systems. Their roots help the trees stay upright in waterlogged soils, giving them access to oxygen and nutrients.

Mangroves also have special leaves that help them thrive in brackish water. Some mangroves filter that salt water through pores on their leaves. They even store carbon in their leaves, and when those leaves fall off and sink into the mud and silt, they become what is known as blue carbon or carbon that is stored underwater.

Unfortunately, mangroves are disappearing from coasts at a distressing rate due to farming, development, aquaculture, and sea level rise.The benefits of mangroves are immense, and as our planet rapidly changes, planting mangroves is becoming more important than ever.

At One Tree Planted we are actively supporting mangrove restoration projects throughout Asia and Latin America, including Costa Rica, The Philippines, India, Haiti and Guatemala. These fascinating trees are incredibly important both to the ecosystems they support and to the entire planet.

Now words are rare. Whatever synapses

let in the Divine are misfiring. ––

Neurons fail. Neural pathways do not please.

Now words are a struggle. I'm struggling

just to write this. Once I said I'd go turn

a tramp steamer into a library. ––

Sail from port to port, sharing that stubborn

love of books with all who live by the sea.

Now I'm struggling just to write this. Now

I sit in my chair and –– stare. There are no

books here. Words, like the water, turn brackish

each time I go down. Let me drown, somehow,

instead of this decline. Instead I know:

first I floundered, now flail and soon perish.

Osmoregulation in fish is like a superpower that makes it adaptable to brackish water. Read further on the adaption of fish to brackish water.

Does anyone here have a favourite brackish water fish?

Mine are  Queensland sawfish (Pristis clavata) and also delicate blue-eye (Pseudomugil tenellus).

BOOTERSTOWN MARSH

Booterstown Marsh, a Nature Reserve, is located in Booterstown, County Dublin, between the coastal railway line and the Rock Road.

A SMALL NATURE RESERVE IN DUBLIN Booterstown Marsh, a Nature Reserve, is located in Booterstown, County Dublin, between the coastal railway line and the Rock Road. It is an area of salt marsh and muds, with brackish water. It includes the only salt marsh, and the only bird sanctuary, in south Dublin Bay. It lies just outside the boundary of Dublin city, and just north of Booterstown DART station…

Today I learned there are true freshwater sharks (genus Glyphis).

#as in like. they are naturally found in fresh (and brackish) water #bull sharks are just a little silly and really good at osmoregulation which lets them live in freshwater for years
