Synopsis: Marine & water travel: Water travels: Raft:

That produced a raft of environmental management treaties and declarations oe including the United nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC),

A raft of practices oe from deforestation for land clearance to the types of intensive farming that exhausts nutrients or make the soil too salty for crops oe contribute to depleted soils.

The production of organic food is governed by a raft of regulations that generally prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, hormones and additives.

There s also a whole raft of new sensors including an onboard magnetometer so that it can always tell where the pilot is in relation to its flight path,

In Myanmar illegal logging also brings with it a raft of socioeconomic problems. Loggers undertake long and dangerous scouting expeditions into the forest

#Floating Islands of Rock Tracked in Pacific A computer model could help track rafts of floating rock in the ocean perhaps giving scientists a way to warn ship captains to stay away.

Island or undersea volcanoes can create massive amounts of pumice in a single eruption resulting in huge rafts of rock that can float hundreds of miles.

After the enormous eruption of Krakatoa in 1884 pumice rafts clogged harbors in Indonesia. Ships today are at risk too said study researcher Martin Jutzeler a volcanologist at the University of Southampton in the United kingdom. Water intakes on ships can become damaged by pumice stalling the engine Jutzeler told Live Science.

and his colleagues a rare opportunity to track rafts from a known source and to use ocean models to see

The researchers used moderate-resolution satellite imagery as well as reports from ship captains and airline pilots to track a pumice raft from the Havre Seamount a submarine volcano in the southwest Pacific near New zealand.

The volcano erupted in 2012 creating a raft of pumice measuring 155 square miles (400 square kilometers) in a single day.

It was the first concrete evidence that deep-sea volcanoes not just shallow ones can create pumice rafts Jutzeler

if they could match a simulated pumice raft with the Havre floating island. They found that using the model they could create near-real-time forecasts of where the pumice

but nothing exists for these rafts Jutzeler said. We really feel that something should be done.

and terrestrial eruptions of island volcanoes could also send rafts of pumice into the sea.

But there is little understanding of how pumice rafts and their associated ash eventually sink to the seafloor

what didn't make it into the raft and fell down to the seafloor Jutzeler said.

The past year has seen a raft of papers about the effects of neonicotinoid pesticides on bees.

He launched his life raft and swam across the reef where a rescue aircraft swept down to pick him up.

when for example patent interests allow the companies to deny the right to grow the rice already have their raft of reasons.

As improbable as it sounds scientists think early primates crossed the Atlantic ocean and landed on the shores of both continents tens of millions of years ago probably on some kind of vegetation raft.

A raft of control measures were introduced into the poultry industry including movement restrictions compulsory slaughter
