III. Seafloor and Massive Sulfide Mining Technology Although there will be technological variations in the mining equipment required for each type of mineral deposit, the basic concept and methodology for recovery is similar. In each case, a collector vehicle will make contact with the seafloor and collect the mineral deposits. In the case of SMS, and cobalt crusts, this will require cutting or breaking the mineral deposits from the substrate. The mined materials, combined with seawater, will be…

Introduction The idea of a sustainable community too many seem far out of reach; however with science and technologies advancing in this new generation, sustainable communities are within our reach. In Scientific American Kaid Benfield describes a sustainable community as one in which pollution, water contamination are things of the past and natural resources are all being used less. Kaid Benfield is the project director of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). The vision of communities…

Current issue in the Great Barrier Reef Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has been in the centre of topic for environmentalist for the past decades as it is the biggest and longest natural coral reef in the world. With thousands of exotic aquaculture species that are exclusive to that region only, it has become one of the heritage national marine parks in the world. However, with the mining boom in Queensland, more ports and industrial activities have been taken places along the coastal regions to boost…

Climate Change: Fact or Fiction In the recent presidential race, much attention has been brought to Donald Trump’s alleged claim that climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese. Although he denies making the statement, many registered voters believe that global warming does not exist. In the article, “Greenpeace Co-Founder: No Scientific Evidence of Man-Made Global Warming,” Michael Bastasch (2014) claims that “there is no scientific evidence that human activity is causing the planet to…

Emily Harmsen, Steven Hong, Lauren Stork, and Juman AlAbdullatif GS 130-Intro to Sustainability Minister | Fall 2016 Damming the Lower Mekong and its Effect on Fish Migration in Thailand Dams have many purposes, such as storing water in order to combat fluctuations in river flow or demand for water, raising the water level so that the water can be directed to flow into a canal to generate electricity, control flooding, and provide water for agriculture, households and industries (Silvia, 1991).…

Would you eat a purple tomato if it was sold with no mention of its genetic makeup showing on its label, except that it is “natural?” Many of our products on the supermarket shelves such as cereals, bread, frozen pastries, soups and canned foods are all contaminated with genetically modified organisms, (GMO). For years, scientists have manipulated the DNA of plant and animal food to make them taste better, to increase growth production or to make them resistant to insect damage. The Food and…

challenge - 50 percent of children under five are stunted and 12.8 percent are underweight. To address the issue, the government is promoting community-based nutrition interventions to diversify production to include legumes, milk, fisheries and aquaculture, for healthier diets, and to improve incomes at the household level. Conflict, economic downturn, low agricultural productivity and poverty have made Yemen one of the most food-insecure countries in the world. Besides restoring political…

erosion, and provide fertilizer. There’s the push-pull strategy, where farmer push bugs away from grain by growing insect-repellent plants along the rows, while also pulling pests away from the crops by planting attractive plants outside the fields. Aquaculture is on the rise, creating an opportunity for more fish polyculture. There is significant evidence that these techniques are already providing a part of the solution”.…

Day v Mead extended the common law notion of contributory negligence to equitable compensation as a way of achieving practical justice. For similar reasons, in the case Aquaculture v NZ Green Mussel Co, it is held that the common law remedy of compensatory damages may be legally awarded in New Zealand courts for breach of an equitable duty. According to Cooke P, “for all purposes now material, Equity and common law are mingled…

important type of ocean farms is seaweed and shellfish that can be crucial to the economy. Seaweed farming can produce for the economy, so there would not be any more deforestation for build oil drill sites. “If done right, this new generation of green aquaculture is poised to become the most sustainable form of farming on the planet…. for building a sustainable future” (273). This quote sums all the information about the article and why ocean farm is crucial for the economy that it can be used…
