There are many different organisms and mammals that inhabit the oceans of our world and each one is unique and special to their environments. Each organism has a vital role to play and each is important in keeping our oceans balanced. Two of my favorite animals that I’d like to explore further is the sea otters and the manatees, both amazing marine mammals. Both animals are now considered endangered and many have taken acts towards conservation for them to perhaps strive once again in the future…

1.0 INTRODUCTION Aquatic biodiversity is the rich and wonderful variety of plants and animals from mussels to mayflies, tadpoles to trout that live in watery habitats. It is the number of different native species or species richness. Many species of animals and plants live in the water like fish that spend all their lives underwater, whereas others like toads and salamanders may use surface waters only during the spring breeding season or as juveniles. Some aquatic creatures live their entire…

Octopus Vulgaris and Memory Octopus Vulgaris are invertebrates who are a species of cephalopods that are among the smartest and most functionally diverse animals not only in the ocean, but of the planet. Octopus Vulgaris have been tested for their knowledge with memory and survival through experiments. Memory is an important part of O. Vulgaris life because they need to have a mental map of where they went so they can remember where their home base is. They also need good memory to remember how…

BLOG Nature’s Wonder - The Indian River Lagoon The Indian River Lagoon is one of Florida’s natural wonders and its northern end begins at Volusia County’s Ponce de Leon Inlet. The Lagoon stretches 156 miles to the south where it ends at Jupiter Inlet. This place where fresh water mixes with sea water is known as “the ocean’s cradle,” an “underwater rainforest” and “North America’s most diverse estuary.” It is home to more than 4,000 species of plants and animals including sea turtles,…

Cuba is by far, the largest and most ecologically diverse island in the Caribbean, with several archipelagos equaling or exceeding the Florida Keys in length. Cuba’s extensive coastal areas are still home to massive mangrove wetlands, tropical wet forests, coastal mountains, and a variety of associated habitats for a diverse range of plants and animals. It has a great variety of marine ecosystems, including many diverse coral reef habitats, extensive grass beds, and more than a dozen enormous…

Horseshoe crabs are an important part of the ecology of coastal communities. During the nesting season, especially in the Mid-Atlantic States, horseshoe crab eggs become the major food source for migrating birds. Over 50% of the diet of many shorebird species consists of horseshoe crab eggs. Many bird species in Florida have been observed feeding on horseshoe crab eggs. In addition, many fish species rely on horseshoe crab eggs for food. Horseshoe crabs are currently exploited in three…

Hi, today I am going to talk about Bioluminescent Plankton. What are they? Well they are small organisms that float in large numbers in either salt or fresh water. They belong to three groups called phytoplankton, zooplankton, and bacterioplankton. Plankton are a significant food source for blue whales, shrimp and jelly fish. Bioluminescent plankton belong to phytoplankton which use sunlight to make its own food, and zooplankton which feeds on phytoplankton and other small organisms.…

The oceans are explored by people,robots and machines you can either dive in yourself and go for it but you won't get very far doing it that way. Deep sea exploration is a difficult process even with today’s technology I predict that even in the next 10 years we won't learn very much about the oceans deep and dark secrets of the great depths it will be quite a long time until we even discover 90 percent of the ocean and then there will be so much about it that we still don't understand…

Located ten kilometers off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, the diminutive Cozumel, also known as the Island of Swallows, is an underwater marine park that protects the delicate balance of its spectacular coral reefs and its diverse marine life. Whether urban legend, historical fact, or still contested “truth”, many believe that a Frenchman and undersea explorer by the name of Jacques Cousteau put Cozumel on the map when he declared the region the most beautiful scuba diving area in the…
