ENN Weekly: October 3rd - 7th ENN's editors summarize the most compelling environmental and sustainable economy stories of the week. In the news October 3rd - 7th: Energy Hog comes to life, global warming hits wildlife, China aims for green growth, and a Capitol Christmas... minus the tree? Gulf Nature Park Awaits Gators' Return after Rita The alligators have fled and the tall, green marsh grasses are brown from salt water, but the coastal Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge's resilient natural defenses may have prevented a catastrophe in the area ravaged by Hurricane Rita. China To Eschew Fast Growth in New Economic Plan China is poised to unveil a new roadmap for the world's seventh-biggest economy that scraps a long-standing policy of faster growth in favour of improving social services and curbing widespread environmental devastation. Climate Change Linked to Cruise Ship Illness Outbreaks Warming ocean waters may have tainted Alaskan oysters with a bacteria that triggered four outbreaks of illness on a cruise ship among people who ate the shellfish raw, researchers reported this week.

How could a silver lining be found in this dark summer of tragedy for anyone in the hurricane-struck areas, much less the shrimping industry? Shark Nicole Clocks More Than 12,000 Miles Crisscrossing Indian Ocean A great white shark named Nicole logged more than 12,000 miles swimming from Africa to Australia and back, the first proof of a link between the two continents' shark populations, researchers say. Gasoline Spike Fuels Surge in U.S. Bicycle Sales A spike in gasoline prices is fueling what could be the biggest year for U.S. bicycle sales since the Arab oil embargo more than three decades ago, a leading bike association said this week. GE, EPA Strike New Deal on Hudson River Dredging Federal authorities and General Electric Co. struck a deal Thursday on dredging PCB-contaminated sediment from the Hudson River, a big step forward in the delayed Superfund cleanup plan. Australia Rejects Crocodile Safari Hunt Plan Australia has rejected a plan to allow crocodile safari hunting in the country's north where the reptiles killed two men in separate attacks last week. Crocodiles were declared a protected species in 1971 when their numbers fell to about 5,000, but since then their population in the Northern Territory has exploded to around 70,000 in the wild with another 18,000 in six crocodiles farms.
