The yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is a species of stingray in the family Urotrygonidae, found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Trinidad. This bottom-dwelling species inhabits sandy, muddy, or seagrass bottoms in shallow inshore waters, commonly near coral reefs. Reaching no more than 36 cm (14 in) across, the yellow stingray has a round pectoral fin disc and a short tail with a well-developed caudal fin. It has a highly variable but distinctive dorsal color pattern consisting of either light-on-dark or dark-on-light reticulations forming spots and blotches, and can rapidly change the tonality of this coloration to improve its camouflage. Relatively sedentary during the day, the yellow stingray feeds on small invertebrates and bony fishes. When hunting it may undulate its disc to uncover buried prey, or lift the front of its disc to form a "cave" attractive to shelter-seeking organisms. This species is aplacental viviparous, meaning that the developing embryos are sustained initially by yolk and later by histotroph ("uterine milk"). Females bear two litters of up to seven young per year in seagrass, following a gestation period of 5–6 months. Though innocuous towards humans, the yellow stingray can inflict a painful injury with its venomous tail spine. This species is taken as bycatch by commercial fisheries and collected for the aquarium trade; it may also be negatively affected by habitat degradation. Nevertheless, it remains common and widespread, which has led the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to list it under Least Concern.

Since going through the anti-invasive species electrified field north of Joliet, I have been dealing with electrical issues off and on . My jumper discharged sometime between hear and heritage so I am having to recharge it. 7 hour trip to quiver Island so I will have to stay another night.

“Boris Herrmann - Das Rennen” - jetzt in der ARD Mediathek Die von Beetz Brothers und der ARD produzierte Dokumentation „Boris Herrmann – Segeln am Limit“ erschien pünktlich zum Start der Vendée Globe und fesselte über zwei Millionen Zuschauer. Jetzt hat Boris Herrmann die Regatta erfolgreich beendet – am 29. Januar 2025 überquerte er die Ziellinie. Doch für ihn ging es ab dem Start nicht nur um eine gute Platzierung, sondern um eine viel größere Mission: den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Wie diese Herausforderung die Rennen und die Arbeit von Team Malizia prägt, zeigt „Boris Herrmann – Das Rennen“. Dieser zweite Teil der Dokumentation lief gestern im Ersten und ist ab sofort in der ARD Mediathek abrufbar. In zweieinhalb Monaten umrundet Boris Herrmann bei der Vendée Globe den Globus – allein auf seinem Segelboot. Er kämpft mit Extremwetter und Blitzeinschlag, Höhenangst und Einsamkeit – und immer wieder geht etwas an seinem Boot kaputt, was potenziell das Aus für ihn sein könnte. Doch Boris Herrmann sagt von sich, bei der Vendée Globe segele er eigentlich zwei Rennen: Neben dem Ringen um die sportliche Platzierung ist es für ihn auch ein Rennen gegen den Klimawandel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Our Team On Social Media: ⬇️ Instagram Team Malizia: https://www.instagram.com/team_malizia/ Instagram Boris Herrmann: https://www.instagram.com/borisherrmannracing/ Facebook Team Malizia: https://www.facebook.com/teammalizia/ Facebook Boris Herrmann Racing: https://www.facebook.com/borisherrmannracing/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@team_malizia LinkedIn Boris Herrmann: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boris-herrmann/ LinkedIn Team Malizia: https://www.linkedin.com/company/14832074 #borisherrmann #teammalizia #VendéeGlobe #imoca #imocaglobeseries #offshoresailing #sailing #racing #aracewemustwin #climateactionnow
