These reed beds are newly grown in the shallows along irrigation canal outflows, providing fish nursery habitat and grazing for livestock, Especially water buffaloes. Thanks to Mary B., we are motoring on our way to meeting our first funding goal!

    Everyone has different experiences with dealers, so it’s always helpful to get a sense of what others have gone through before making a decision. Personally, I found reading through Big Motoring World reviews to be really useful. It gave me a clear picture of their customer service and overall experience, which helped me make a more informed choice when I was in the market. If you're in the process of buying a car, I definitely recommend checking them out!

About This Project

Collapse of the marsh ecosystems of southern Iraq after 1991 forced hundreds of thousands of people into urban slums, and led to contamination of the remaining water supply. We will establish three test beds to see whether brackish water returned from oil drilling and refining can be used to construct new salt marshes. These will filter water, provide forage for livestock, create habitat for fish nurseries, and give new economic opportunities.
