The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now so huge and permanent that a coastal ecosystem is thriving on it, scientists say

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:22:14 GMT

By Ivana Kottasová | CNNScientists have found thriving communities of coastal creatures, including tiny crabs and anemones, living thousands of miles from their original home on plastic debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — a 620,000 square mile swirl of trash in the ocean between California and Hawaii.In a new study published in the Nature Ecology & Evolution journal on Monday, a team of researchers revealed that dozens of species of coastal invertebrate organisms have been able to survive and reproduce on plastic garbage that’s been floating in the ocean for years.The scientists said that the findings suggest plastic pollution in the ocean might be enabling the creation of new floating ecosystems of species that are not normally able to survive in the open ocean.Unlike organic material that decomposes and sinks within months or, at most, a few years, plastic debris can float in the oceans for a much longer time, giving creatures the opportunity to survive and...

Cascade Mountain High: Exploring Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:22:14 GMT

There’s a mysterious, otherworldly feel to Southern Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park. This gem-like lake, nestled high in the Cascade Range, is the deepest lake in North America — 1,943 feet — and is famous for its intensely blue waters.It formed 7,700 years ago when Mount Mazama, a 12,000-foot-tall volcano, experienced the largest eruption in North America in the past 640,000 years and subsequently collapsed, forming a volcanic caldera, which then began to fill with rainfall and snowmelt.There’s no natural outlet for Crater Lake’s water, yet it never completely fills up. The lake loses water, as it seeps out of the old volcano’s outer slopes at a slow but steady rate, like a porous paper coffee filter. It’s considered the cleanest large body of water in the world and holds a whopping 4.9 trillion gallons of water.Sunrise illuminates the top of Wizard Island at Oregon’s Crater Lake.

Did your flight arrive early? Airlines plan it that way

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:22:14 GMT

Air travelers are often pleasantly surprised if their flight arrives at its destination early, but airlines are padding their schedules to improve their on-time arrival stats.Personal finance site Finance Buzz analyzed the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics data going back years, covering 35 million domestic flights. Since 2012, the frequency of flight duration padding has increased by 27%, Finance Buzz reported. It is an average of just over 10%.In 2022, 20% of domestic flights arrived at their destinations late, but without that padding, it would have been 30%, its research found.At Reagan National Airport, the average domestic flight duration schedule was padded by 10 minutes, but given the relatively short duration of a DCA departure — of just over 90 minutes — it is an average padding of 10.8%. Reagan National ranked No. 13 for average padding by airlines in 2022. At BWI Marshall, the average padding was 11% last year.Finance Buzz did not in...
