This summer was one of my favorite summer vacations ever. I went to Sanibel Island in Florida with one of my mom’s friends and her family. I also spent lots of time with my family. Swimming was also a highlight of my summer. Sanibel Island is an island off of the coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico side. It took my family and I two and a half day to get there. Since we drove we spent almost twenty five hours in the car! My baby sister was either crying or sleeping during all twenty five…

and it is capable of growing to 3 feet tall. The Aplysina aerophoba in its natural habitat. Habitat The Yellow Tube Sponge lives underwater, near the northern zone of the Atlantic ocean. It is found in the Neritic Zone, which is also known as the Coastal Line. The coastal line holds 98% of wildlife in the ocean, which so happens to include the Yellow Tube Sponge. Diet and Predators Yellow Tube Sponges must eat, as with every other…

The height of Louie’s determination began as he came free from restraints binding him to a sinking plane and out into the open waters of the Pacific. Immediately he was forced into leadership by his captain, Russell Allen Phillips, demanding his critical state left him in no position to lead. “ He could see that Louie had a nasty cut on his finger, near his USC ring, but was otherwise unhurt and lucid. He asked Louie to take command, and Louie agreed,” (132). Though his other crew members…

this essay I aim to display how the sea influenced Minoan culture by using Minoan art. The Palace of Knossos was home to King Minos of the Minoans. In this palace we can see restored frescos by Sir Arthur Evans of Dolphins and fish swimming in the ocean (5.2). In this fresco, we can see that the artwork of the actual dolphins and fish are very stylized. The dolphins all have the same design, indicating that they are dolphins…

What is happening? For the past few centuries, the Great Barrier Reef has been greatly impacted by the climate change. The changes of climate to extreme warm conditions have led to the increase of ocean temperature and ocean acidifications. Since coral reefs are naturally sensitive to warm and acidic waters, the climate change thus poses a threat to its health and longevity. Additionally, in recent news, experts have asserted that climate change is the ultimate reason behind this year’s March…

a hard embrace knocking him back into the furious sea where he cracked his skull on a sharp piece of coral that the waves knocked to shore. Blood was gushing down his face, his children panicking because their father was leaking of blood into the ocean. His wife had gotten an ambulance for the couple, but she now needed it for her husband. The couple told her that they were fine and to make sure he stayed alive for his children. The ambulance drove away with him unconscious in the back.…

The liquids clash against each other as he tips the soda bottle upside down then right side up. The Courier chuckles, fascinated by his obsession. Her laugh's as pleasant as a cool breeze in the desert sun. “It’s supposed to mimic the waves of the ocean,” Six explains. “I know you don’t see much of anything, so I figured I’d bring back pieces of the world for you.” “It’s beautiful. Thank you.” There’s more that he wants…

cool water than in warm water. Isopods come in many different shapes and sizes and half of them live in the ocean. The larger isopods live in the deep sea and the smaller ones live like parasite on a fish. Crustacean come from the Latin root crustaceus which means having a crust or shell. They are important members of benthic communities which are animals that live at the bottom of the ocean. There are two divided groups, filter feeders and the deposit…

The devastation of both coral reefs and kelp forests can vary in strength depending on their biogeography. After the initial acute event that wipes out either the reef or the forest occurs, it is usually the water quality or fish population that determines whether they can recover. Both these processes’ strength depends on where they occur, and the biogeography of the area they are in. Coral reefs that are not located by a ravine run off do not have the issue of sewage, or fertilizer run offs.…
