It is an ideal place to go for a stroll while enjoying the waterfront views. The Seawall is a preferred spot for jogging and cycling. The location of the Seawall and the views it offers has made it the…

A bit of imagination, music, movies, novels and live entertainment can all have the same topic: marine creatures. In fact, when you hear some relaxation music themed around whale songs, that you read a novel titled Moby Dick, which is a legendary white sperm whale or even some facts about the blue whale, being the largest mammal on Earth, it is easy to think of whales. The confusion comes when the term whale is part of a sea creature's name. You see, when people talk about sharks, their mind is…

It should be in everyones best interest to minimise the world’s marine pollution, the vast growth of pollution in our ocean is affecting marine life such as coral reefs and sea animals. With pollution on the rise it is declining our marine future, which can be a worry for the worlds oxygen with a large percentage of the planet’s oxygen coming from marine plants. Marine life stability is one of the most important issues this century. We are constantly having large numbers of sea animals dying…

Ballantyne titled The Coral Island. It was such an inspiration that he chose to use the same character names of two of the boys that were in Ballantyne’s book as well as used a similar story line. Summarized by Feedbooks, The Coral Island was a story about three boys, Ralph (15), Jack (18), and Peterkin (14), that become shipwrecked on a deserted island that had plenty of resources…

1.Summarize the information from the group visual The visual contains the role and impact the inverse specie,Green Crab has on the ecosystem.The Green Crab is native to Europe but at time went by it spread to America,australia and is at risk of spreading all over the world. The spread of Green Crabs was most likely by natural dispersal in the oceanic currents,or by domestic dispersal mechanisms.Also Green Crabs can tolerate a wide range of environmental extremes such as cold temperatures,…

Every day, when Jerry turned on the light of the fish tank, the corals started to extend. The snails would come out of their shells and the fish would swim to the surface to ask for food. Everything seemed so peaceful, but there was this day when Goby Fish suddenly said, “Hey! CoCo Worm! What happened to your feathers?” All the tankmates looked at CoCo Worm. Normally, CoCo had two crowns full of feathers, which it uses to filter feeding, but now CoCo had only one up on its head. “Poor CoCo,…

Red tide has always been an issue for the beaches of Florida. Because of the smell and the fish washing up on shore, red tide puts stress on the economy. The billion-dollar tourist industry takes a decline when red tide comes around. Also, red tide puts stress on the environment causing algae to give the water a red discoloration and deplete the water of oxygen causing fish and other marine life to sadly die. Because of the toxins created by red tide, skin irritations and respiratory trouble may…

Based on the results I got, the smaller the animal was the lower the mean LDH activity was. Another factor that can affect the LDH levels in a species could be where the animals live. Lizard-fish, which had the highest mean LDH activity, tend to live in shallow and deep waters all around. They like to burry themselves in sand or mud on the bottom and not move until prey comes along. My group’s hypothesis was incorrect, croaker fish did not have the highest LDH activity. Lizard-fish and croaker’s…

A marine biologist studies organisms found in the ocean. As a marine biologist, you conduct research on the organisms found in their home, the ocean. For example,a marine biologist may study how different species in the ocean interact with one another. A person with this career may additionally study how these marine animals have evolved over time or even conduct research on a newly found species. A marine biologist collects samples of marine animals to conduct tests to find out how these…
