Climate change is a global persistent threat to fish and fish habitats throughout North America. Climate-induced modification of environmental regimes, including changes in streamflow, water temperature, salinity, storm surges, and habitat connectivity can change fish physiology, disrupt spawning cues, cause fish extinctions and invasions, and alter fish community structure. Reducing greenhouse emissions remains the primary mechanism to slow the pace of climate change, but local and regional management agencies and stakeholders have developed an arsenal of adaptation strategies to help partially mitigate the effects of climate change on fish.

The global lockdowns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic forced an immediate change in the way people moved about; namely, travel was slowed from a turbulent river to a trickle.

The U.S. Department of Education announced a change to Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program rules for a limited time as a result of the COVID-19 national emergency. For a limited period of time, borrowers may receive credit for past payments made on loans that would otherwise not qualify for PSLF. Under the new rules, any prior payment made will count as a qualifying payment, regardless of loan type, repayment plan, or whether the payment was made in full or on time. All you need is qualifying employment, which is full-time employment by government, 501(c)(3) not-for-profits, or other not-for-profit organizations that provide a qualifying service.
