There are five types of gem bird, each leaving its own type of gem. Of these five, four are randomly selected and assigned randomly to the compass direction where they will appear. Random selection and assignment is accomplished once per save file and is in place before the player first visits Ginger Island on a rainy day. If a player upgrades their portal nexus, all destinations in it from its previous version are saved. The runes or salt do not have to be provided again.

Ecosystems are biological units made up of organisms and the physical environment they inhabit. Within an ecosystem, organisms interact with each other and their environment in a balanced way which ensures the health of this unit. As such, ecosystems are involved in food and energy production and climate regulation. With anthropogenic activities causing the loss of biodiversity at an unprecedented rate, many ecosystems face major challenges in maintaining their healthy balance. Understanding the complex interplay between the living and non-living components of an ecosystem is critical for the preservation and restoration of these habitats, and in effect, maintaining the health of our planet. The “Nexus Island” teaching resource, inspired by an EMBL-led scientific expedition entitled “ TRaversing European Coastlines (TREC)“, invites students to re-evaluate their perception of the environment we live in by focusing on the interaction between living organisms, non-living environmental factors and humans, and their dependencies and adaptation strategies. The game-based approach draws special attention to our ecosystems’ biodiversity, specifically on the microscopic level, and to the extent to which microorganisms are vulnerable to the dynamics of a changing environment. Moreover, the role that research plays in providing data -the basis for any further discussions and actions, is highlighted in relation to analysing each element and organism in the environment. get exposed to science as a process to understand the natural world and approach global challenges. The Pirate Cove can be accessed at the east side of Island Southeast through a hidden entrance east of the star-shaped pool. The player can enter the cove at any time to fish in the pool at its southeast or in the small pools near its entrance. These are the only locations in the game where the Stingray can be caught. In addition to the fish shown in the Fishing section below, the player can catch a Gourmand Statue, which initially appears as a present box when caught.As other cycladic islands, Naxos is considered a windy place perfect for windsurfing, as well as kitesurfing. There are seven sports clubs in the island that offer both of these sports and other water activities. Participants of the workshop will sample the coast of Nexus Island, collect and identify species, and find collaborative solutions for the environment that is under the pressure of the human impact.

Gran recepción de la expedición TREC frente al Itsasmuseum de Bilbao, durante la llegada a puerto de la goleta de investigación Tara y despedida del laboratorio avanzado móvil EMBL-TREC. The island has a large number of beaches, such as those at Agia Anna, Agios Georgios, Agios Prokopios, Alyko, Kastraki, Mikri Vigla, Plaka, most of which are relatively near the capital named Naxos Town or Chora (a name often used to designate the capitals on the Aegean islands). A few of these are organized but due to the island’s size most are not, providing many places of seclusion. The Cycladic islands are generally windy places perfect for windsurfing and kite-surfing, Naxos is having considerable land mass, offers waters of all varieties for sea and beach activities.
