The Nobbys lighthouse designed by Alexander Dawson was first lit in 1858 because of the prominent position at the entrance of the port and the crucial use of navigation. Nobbys light is also the third lighthouse constructed in NSW after the Macquarie light in 1818 and in the same year with the Hornby lighthouse. Before the establishment of the present lighthouse (1854), the first beacon was lit on this area (Signal Hill) in 1804 with a range of merely 7 kilometres. Later in 1821, an oil burning…

Slimy little fish in my small soft hand. Looking at the fish intensely with my deep brown eyes as it squirm I raised it in the air and tilted my head. Everyone chanting my name. The smell of campfires and s'mores abundant. I let go of the fish… Hang on let's go back a bit. It was my second week long scout camp and we were up at Camp Mapledale in Payson Canyon. We had been at scout camp three days now and that's when all the games start up. We came outside to a tiny and flimsy kitty pool, full…

under all that rancid heat, is something to assemble amazing memories in and to enjoy. Going to Texas, we saw a lot of beautiful things, some I’ve never seen before. I saw a lot of colorful lizards and frogs, very tall palm trees, and the dark blue ocean! When we first arrived in Texas, I got to see my grandparents and cousins over Thanksgiving. We faced divine meals and large amounts of desert, too! We also got to go fishing on a lake since my grandparents house lived right by it. The lake was…

Taseko should not be granted approval to build a mine around Fish Lake for three main reasons. Firstly, Taseko is a mining group that wants to start their development around Fish Lake but environmentalists and indigenous group, Tsilhoqot’in, claim that Taseko will cause irreparable damage to the water supply. I argue that Fish Lake is a common resource which means that the land has to be protected to ensure consumers does not over use it. Second, Fish Lake is a sacred land for the indigenous…

DTE FUN ZONE This is the stuff I think should go where the fallen DTE site is. I say they should put a beach in because in the summer a place to relax and have fun. Another thing i think should be there is an arcade for gaming. A park would be a good choice because it would have a food stand and a play set too. My main choice to put there is a boat marina with a free fish cleaning spot. My most important element is the Marina because that would be the main attraction to get more and more…

Plastic pollution and the effects on the ocean By: Hana Crittenden I have decided to research plastic pollution in the oceans. I chose this topic because every other summer since I was little, my dad's side of the family has a family reunion at the New Jersey Shore. We rented a very nice beach house right on the shore. And I have always loved the ocean so I looked forward to this trip all year. But I have noticed that over the years trash has been building up. And every time I come back to the…

Up in the North woods, where the wolves howl and the bucks run wild, there lives a man who devotes his life to living off the land. This man, Jerry Saum, a crude and renegade type character, has lived in Saum, Minnesota for his whole life. Saum, MN lies 45 miles directly North of Bemidji, and two miles East of the Red Lake Indian Reservation. I have known Jerry Saum for five years, due to my deer hunting shack that sits four miles South of Saum. In my early years deer hunting up North, Jerry…

They usually eat snakes, worms, insects, crustaceans, frogs, tadpoles, and aquatic eggs of…

tiny and often painless, with many victims not realizing they have been envenomated until respiratory depression and paralysis start to set in. No blue-ringed octopus antivenom is available yet, making it one of the deadliest reef inhabitants in the ocean. Blue-ringed octopuses are one of the deadliest animals in the sea. Through their range in Australia and the eastern Indo-Pacific, several humans suffer bites each year. Although, some of these are fatal. In Australia where blue-rings occur…

was a kid, I wanted to explore and delve deep into the ocean. I dreamt of breathing underwater and discovering a vastly unknown world that surrounds all of us. This lead to my interest in Marine Biology and how it has pushed my character past any interfering influence. There were so many media outlets that helped drive my passion for the water. The best way I can imagine to spend my time is to relax on a couch watching some of the best ocean films in history. There are great ones like The Abyss,…
