good to Know...
🏳️🌈 Today is Harvey Milk Day! In 1978, Milk became the first openly gay elected official in the state of California. That same year, he was assassinated, and left behind a legacy of activism and care, particularly for the LGBTQ+ community, minorities, immigrants, women, and children.
A new 7-mile-long underwater art exhibit in Miami raises awareness and helps save coral reefs
Just a couple hundred feet offshore, Miami Beach is home to the Great Florida Reef, the third-largest coral reef in the world and the only living coral barrier reef in the continental United States. It also desperately needs protecting.
Like its global counterparts, the Great Florida Reef has been in sharp decline since the 1980s. But experts are experimenting with a new approach to save it: art.
With construction starting this year, the reef will soon feature a 7-mile public art installation: The Reefline. Both a sculpture park and a snorkeling trail, the development will also serve as an artificial reef to offer shelter to fish, which will, in turn, help corals thrive.
Why is this good news? Like reefs around the world, the Great Florida Reef faces threats like bleaching due to elevated water temperatures, sea-level rise, and the spread of disease, which all put both coral and the other organisms that thrive in the reef at risk of extinction.
In the last 50 years, measles vaccines have prevented over 90 million deaths worldwide
Sixty years ago, over 90% of children globally were infected by measles, and for those who developed symptoms, a quarter would be hospitalized. In just the U.S., there were 3 to 4 million cases every year, which resulted in tens of thousands of hospitalizations and hundreds of deaths.
The first effective measles vaccine was developed in 1963 and made its way around the world over the next two decades. In just the last 50 years, those vaccinations have prevented over 90 million deaths globally.
Without those vaccines, 2 to 3 million people would die annually from measles, making them likely the most life-saving vaccines currently on offer in the world.
