Apartments on aquarium site near Boise Towne Square still possible - boisedev.com

Last May, BoiseDev told you about a possible apartment project at Cole Rd. and Franklin Rd. in the Boise Bench, near Boise Towne Square. The project may still move forward.

The project has not moved forward to a formal application just yet, but developers held a new pre-application meeting with the City of Boise this month. The revised project now shows a slightly shorter building with an updated configuration. The project reorients itself toward Bethel St. and away from the Union Pacific railroad tracks that run on the north side of the site.

The previous initial plan showed a six-story building with about 170 apartment units. The new plan still includes 170 units, but brings the building down to five stories. It reconfigures the number of apartment units, with slightly fewer two-bedroom units (60 versus 62), slightly fewer studios (ten versus 13), and more one-bedroom apartments (100 versus 95). The project would also slightly increase the number of parking spots provided.

A ground-level pool and resident amenity would face Bethel St., and a larger amenity space with potential retail or commercial use would sit at the corner of Cole and Bethel.

The property contains a warehouse building that dates to 1976, which has a number of tenants, including a book store and bail bonds business, and the Aquarium of Boise.

The aquarium remains open. However, a project announced earlier this year would build another aquarium. Organizers said that would happen by the end of 2022, but haven't announced formal plans.

The project is one of a number of apartment complexes proposed in the area near Boise Towne Square – though none have yet started construction. The projects include units on the former Sears site, next to the Mattress Firm store, and micro-units across a canal from the mall.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year
