Some of the chlorine even flowed out into the Atlantic Ocean. Norway-based Grieg Seafood said the leak occurred in one of their fish slaughterhouses in the town of Alta and that the company is focused on the cleanup efforts. They're working on learning as much as they can about the incident to prevent future fish deaths like this one. The company doesn't know how the leak may impact the fjord in the future and is seeking an environmental assessment on future impact. Luckily for Grieg Seafood, the fish were insured. But the next order of business is a days-long cleanup and the assessment of the leak.

The new information will be featured on Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max in the Photo Frame/Ambient screen. It will also show up in the bottom-left corner time widget if you are using the Google Photos or Art gallery clock face. The air quality information will be drawn from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's U.S. Air Quality Index (AQI) data, which establishes a scale for how polluted the air has become. When air quality becomes unhealthy, the badge will turn red and alters will pop up as well. Other colors will signify other air quality readings, for example green will signify healthy air quality in the area.

Are Humans to Blame?]( Stranded green [sea turtles]( (Chelonia mydas) in the Florida Keys are showing alarming rates of internal and external tumors— 51.5% of turtles to be exact, more than double the incidence rate for green sea turtles in Florida overall. According to researchers, the tumors are caused by fibropapillomatosis (FP), which is a transmissible tumor disease of ecological importance. The tumors grow on their eyes, flippers, necks, and other body parts which can stop the turtles from finding food or even breathing if left untreated. Researchers are looking to assess the health of young turtles in hopes of finding the root of the disease in order to improve the health of the green sea turtles in the future. They worry that factors like the climate crisis, which is changing the local flora and fauna and rising sea temperatures may increase the rate of disease transmission for marine life. Understanding why the turtles have tumors could lead to other health findings and potential solutions for their safety.

Now, after what is likely the longest-ever trip made by elephants in the country, the wanderers may finally be heading home. The 14-strong herd was guided across the Yuanjiang river in the province of Yunnan, China Sunday night and is now in a "suitable habitat," the National Forestry and Grassland Administration told [AP News](. The elephants captured the public imagination after they left their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in March of last year, according to [Reuters](. At first, a group of 16 elephants traveled to nearby Puer. Then, in April of this year, 15 of the elephants set out again and traveled more than 1,300 kilometers (approximately 808 miles) to the cities of Yuxi and Honghe, reaching the outskirts of Yuan's capital of Kunming in June.

Lemons, limes, grapefruits, oranges, clementines, or any of your other favorite citrus fruits can be used in their entirety. The peels may carry even more [nutritional benefits]( than the fruit inside: just one tablespoon of orange peel supplies 3x more vitamin C than the fruit, and 4x more fiber. They can be candied, incorporated into beverages, zested over your favorite dishes, or even used to start a summer campfire. If you plan on eating the peel, however, [be sure to buy organic fruit](. As much as [40% of our national food supply is wasted]( but there are plenty of ways to keep these rinds out of the trash.
