Sharks: Finning and Management As the human population continues to increase, the demand for food also increases. An estimated 15 percent of consumed animal protein come from marine fish, and an overall 90 percent of the predatory fish, at the top of the food chain, are declining (Human, n.d). Hammerhead sharks, particularly scalloped hammerheads are the most threatened because of their fins and meat. The methods used for capturing this rare species are wasteful and cruel, and their decline is…

I have always had an affinity for nature, having been attracted to its ethereal beauty at a very young age. My earliest and fondest memories are, hiding amidst the jasmine trellis, and yellow roses of my garden. Having gone to a preschool and kindergarten on a small farm, at a very young age I solidified bonds with nature, through the process of growing, and harvesting plants, as well as caring for small animals. When I planted seeds with my small hands, watching them transform into plants, I…

democracy, unitary state, and terrorism. The key terms I will be covering for chapter 9 are: adolescent fertility rate, gross national income, human development index, and literacy rate. The key terms I will be covering for chapter 10 are: agriculture, aquaculture, crop, overfishing, dietary energy consumption, and pastoral nomadism. The key terms I will be covering for chapter 11 are: Textile, vertical integration, outsourcing, and industrial revolution. Most icelandians stay in iceland but…

To be against genetically modified organisms, is being against the advancement of technology. Over the course of all history many ideas have been shut down before they’ve even seen the light of day, and unfortunately that could be the case for gmo’s. 88% of U.S. scientists say genetically modified foods are safe to eat, and only 37% of Americans agree. Rationally, GMO crops aren't inherently different from other breeding techniques that people already trust—so even though we can't know with 100%…

the National Health Service; environmental and animal charities; schools, colleges, science centers, libraries and museums; universities and research institutes; environmental consultancies; chemical, pharmaceutical and petroleum companies; and aquaculture and animal nutrition companies. Some restrictions zoologist and wildlife biologist may face is strong competition looking for employment. If an applicant has practical experience through internships, summer jobs, or volunteer work, or shortly…

In 2014, the National Climate Assessment conducted a study on the effects of climate change across all the regions of the United States. Three areas of concern that were induced by the study conducted in the Southeast region are rise in sea level, extreme heat, and decreased water availability. These matters bring devastating impacts on their own, however when observing the state of the Southeast, it is discovered that they are exacerbating problems the Southeast is already facing. The rate…

Abstract Biofilms cause many problems in the drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) and are difficult to remove via conventional disinfection methods. Halogenated furanones produced by Delisea pulchra can hinder biofilm formation and maintenance and look promising as an alternative solution that can be used either as a preventive measure or co-treatment against biofilms in DWDS. However, limited toxicology studies that have been done on halogenated furanones formed as by-products of…

the 100% Pure campaign which attracts a considerable amount of travelers to New Zealand from around the globe. These direct results from oil spills will then lead to a chain of negative consequences such as an increase in job loss in not only the aquaculture and tourism sector but also the petroleum and minerals…

corporations run everything, and mom-and-pop shops disappear because they cannot handle the competition. Like we saw in Weller's text, where nature had to become a tourist trap in an effort to save itself, the same became true for our seas and oceans. "Aquaculture", the government subsidized education and promotion of modern aqua science and technology, is a way for countries to try and stop overfishing and destruction of our waters, but I think it is just a ploy to distract people and make the…

I used permaculture principles when designing the pond throughout the process, as I was trying to design a pond that was sustainable, and multi purposeful (beyond that of aesthetic value.) When deciding the placement of the pond, I took into account the surrounding environment to find an area where it would have the least amount of impact on the microclimates. This is a principle of permaculture as one’s design must cooperate with nature. By placing the pond in an area where the drainage…
