    Nyangku Tradition In Ciamis: Preserving Heritage And Boosting Local Economy
    Traditional leaders present heirlooms to be washed during the Nyangku traditional procession in Ciamis Regency, West Java, Indonesia, on September 18, 2025. The Nyangku tradition, or the tradition of washing heirlooms left behind by the Panjalu Kingdom of Prabu Sanghyang Borosngora, is held once a year on the last Monday or Thursday of the month of ''Maulud'' on the Islamic calendar. Apart from maintaining tradition, it also boosts religious tourism visits and stimulates the local economy. (Photo by Ardi Septian/NurPhoto)

  • 'We just want the truth': British coastal towns fight for answers over mystery sealife deaths

    'We just want the truth': British coastal towns fight for answers over mystery sealife deaths
    Question mark over freeport in Tees Valley after ecological disaster puts communities in the north east of England at loggerheads with the government.

    The mystery of what caused the deaths has thrust small coastal communities in the north-east of England, into the centre of a national political drama.

    The Environment Agency, part of Defra, promised to investigate, pledging to send samples of water, sediment and crab for analysis, which they said would examine the theory that pollution was to blame. Then in February this year, the official answer came. Concerns that dredging work in September had disturbed toxic sediment in the River Tees were dismissed because there was "no evidence of a link" between that and the die-offs, Defra's report said. Instead, it concluded, the most likely factor was a "naturally occurring harmful algal bloom".

    Lobster Pots in the seaside port town of Hartlepool in County Durham. local fisherman and the community have suffered in the past year with large numbers deaths of crabs and lobsters which have been washed up all along the North East and North Yorkshire coastline. Fishing crews have noticed sparse catches and massive decline in their catches which have been “catastrophic” to their livelihoods. A recent investigation by the Environment Agency has identified a harmful algal bloom being of significance however local fisherman dispute this and suspect that licensed dredging and chemical contamination related to offshore windfarms are to blame.

    Local Fisherman Paul Widdowfield in the seaside port town of Hartlepool in County Durham. local fisherman and the community have suffered in the past year with large numbers deaths of crabs and lobsters which have been washed up all along the North East and North Yorkshire coastline. Fishing crews have noticed sparse catches and massive decline in their catches which have been “catastrophic” to their livelihoods. A recent investigation by the Environment Agency has identified a harmful algal bloom being of significance however local fisherman dispute this and suspect that licensed dredging and chemical contamination related to offshore windfarms are to blame.

    'We just want the truth': British coastal towns fight for answers over mystery sealife deaths
    Question mark over freeport in Tees Valley after ecological disaster puts communities in the north east of England at loggerheads with the government.

    The mystery of what caused the deaths has thrust small coastal communities in the north-east of England, into the centre of a national political drama.

    The Environment Agency, part of Defra, promised to investigate, pledging to send samples of water, sediment and crab for analysis, which they said would examine the theory that pollution was to blame. Then in February this year, the official answer came. Concerns that dredging work in September had disturbed toxic sediment in the River Tees were dismissed because there was "no evidence of a link" between that and the die-offs, Defra's report said. Instead, it concluded, the most likely factor was a "naturally occurring harmful algal bloom".
