JBL Expedition Colombia II - 2022

JBL Expedition Colombia II - 2022

Same destination but yet so new - everything is under water

Streams became rivers, banks became impressively sized submerged forests! In the dry season, all the fish gathered in the " leftover waters" still there. The advantage was that the fish were more crowded together and the chance to see Altum angelfish and freshwater stingrays was much higher than after the rainy season. After the rainy season the fish can spread over a huge area and are then harder to find. 

But it was precisely these submerged forests that provided the opportunity for the 36 participants to observe fish foraging in a way that was completely different from foraging in the dry season. Now there were fruits and seeds of the plants on the menu, to which the fish have no access in the dry season when the water level is low. 

The travel period at the end of November offered another spectacular advantage: it gave us the chance to see Caño Cristales in southern Colombia, with its world-famous endemic red plant Rhyncolacis clavigerain in full bloom. In November, it begins to form underwater blossoms which disperse its seeds as the plants continue to grow emersed in the dry season that then begins.

In addition to water analyses, light measurements, and observations, water temperature measurements were made for the first time using a data logger to obtain real data on the contentious issue of nighttime temperature drops.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
