Big Fish

travel from ocean-to-ocean, have been required to replace their ballast water with ocean water before entering the Great Lakes(National Wildlife Federation). This proves that people are trying to eliminate the spread of invasives, and that this is a big issue. This process is known as ballast water exchange. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fully eliminate all of the estimated 160 new invasive species, carried over to the Great Lakes from ships' ballast tanks(National Wildlife Federation). Since the…

from these radical creatures. Until, sharks stop attacking humans, humans will stop devising traps for sharks. "The small shark frequently gets swept up in fishing nets and caught in fishing lines". This messes up the fisherman, big time, it puts a delay on the fish. There have been 72 baseless attacks on humans by sharks. Surfers are 50% of these attacks, and beach goers are the most at risk. "other countries around the…

It was a warm, muggy evening in November 2012. Dad had just returned home from a long day at work, and so he asked if anyone wanted to go with him on a quick paddle ride. As usual, I said yes. Living right next to the water makes it easy for us to just jump on the kayak and go, and we had a good chance of seeing lots of different organisms and critters out there. There were southern stingrays, nurse and bonnethead sharks, and barrel sponge, to name a few. But today, we were to find something…

balls, “splat!,” the muck hit me in the face. Fish swimming between our toes. Finding hidden treasures. Jumping over rocks, stepping in the sand and especially having fun running our bare feet through the mucky water. And especially swinging moss around like a lasso so we could hit each other in the face. Action paragraph 1: “Yuck!,” why did you throw mud in my hair? My sister and I were having a mud fight, playing in the creek with the frogs, fish, and snakes. We were also searching for…

sharks go for the weaker and sick prey so they won't have to work hard. By doing that they leave the healthy and efficient fish to reproduce and pass their healthy and efficient genes. Sharks not only maintain other species but also serves as indicators of how healthy a part of the ocean is. If there are no sharks in an ecosystem then there would be no regulators to kill bad fish and overpopulation among other species would occur. Normally the Great White tends to spend its time alone and…

Sort Of Flying Imagine your feet dangling over the ocean, while jellyfish and sharks are swimming below you. You’re just being held up in the air with a parachute, any second the rope could snap. This is what I felt when I went parasailing. In the beginning, my family and I were waiting for our boat at the docks. I felt like a hotdog burning in the sun that is how hot it was. To make matters even worse, everybody was anxious to get on to the boat. When our boat finally arrived, we put our life…

time fishing. Another, reason why I think that he will pick the bass is because it’s a big bass. The way that I know this is a big bass is because it is really strong. I know that the bass is strong because its pulling the canoe around the water. The last reason why I think he will pick the bass is because he does everything to keep this bass hooked. He has completely ignored Sheila and is so focused on this fish. He moved the canoe to the middle of the river so that the bass would not get off…

Pablo By: Rok Outside of the water there were kids playing on the beach while their maid drones supervised them. Oops! I forgot to introduce myself! I’m Pablo, Pablo Ferisa. You may not be able to tell this but I am a sea monster. But I’m not scary! I’m really nice! I just want to be the humans’ friends, but their maid drones just protect their children. I was swimming near the beach in the Florida Keys. I slowly surfaced. I swam by a piece of trash. These maid drones discard their…
