any renewable resource” (Speer). Throughout the world many different prototypes have been developed to best address an efficient way to produce tidal energy. In the Netherlands they have developed a barge system that stretches out from the coastal estuary like a tunnel with a T-shape head at its end. This hydraulic head along with the tunnel shape causes the many turbines to accelerate in the dam to produce tidal energy…

Wetland loss is a vast problem in coastal Louisiana. From 1932 to 2010, approximately 4900 km2 of wetlands have disappeared from the Louisiana coast, mainly from erosion and, subsidence, and sediment depletion from the construction of levees, dams, and canals. The depletion of the barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico will allow for uninterrupted coastal erosion. With sea level rise expected to be a catalyst for coastal erosion throughout the 21st century, future land loss is projected to be…

range. At a height of 688 metres (2,257 feet) above the Atlantic Ocean, Croaghaun (on Achill Island) are the third highest sea cliffs in Europe (after Hornelen, Norway and Cape Enniberg, Faroe Islands). Cork Harbour is a natural harbour and river estuary at the mouth of the River Lee in County Cork, Ireland. It is one of several which lay claim to the title of "second largest natural harbour in the world by navigational…

I live in Bunbury. Bunbury region is traditionally Noongar country. Bunbury was the gathering place for the Noongar people because of the water supply around Bunbury, particularly the rivers flowing into the Leschenault Estuary. The Noongar lived in balance with the natural environment. They lived by hunting game like kangaroos and wallabies as well as possums. They also fished and gathered native plants and wildlife such as Grass Trees ( Balga) sap for medicinal purposes. The Noongar knew…

because of their entertaining behavior and funny antics. First of all, the mudskipper live in the several areas that are mangroves, nipa palm area, and tidal mudflats, they live in freshwater, brackish, or marine regions that are including the estuaries, swamps, marshes and tide pools. The medium sized and large sized mudskippers dig a funnel-shaped burrow in the mud using their mouth; they will always put their entrances underwater.…

North Florida is well known for a unique quality of life that is offered to locals and vacationers alike. A way of life offered to us from the sand, the sea, and the sun, and a precious resource, our seafood. North Florida’s environmental and economic wellbeing is now being stressed due to the reduced water flow down the Chattahoochee and Flint River systems. These river systems flow into the Apalachicola River and then to the Apalachicola River basin. This reduced flow is changing salinity…

The term "grown-up river" is personification that embodies the thoughts of a child. The young child sees the estuary as a grown-up river as opposed to the little, or what he may call the child, river that he saw before. This develops the childish tone that the author uses throughout the poem. In the fourth stanza, there is an alliteration with the lines "To where…

population uses septic systems, which removes harmful pathogens, but does not treat nitrogen and other nutrients (Weeks, 2013). This results in nitrogen-rich wastewater passing into the ground (Ashworth, n.d.). This groundwater moves to marshes and estuaries…

Canada's Contribution to the Allied Effort Canadian Military Contributions were essential to win WWII. Ortona, D-Day-Juno Beach, and The Liberation of the Netherlands are three critical conflicts that Canadian Army and Navy conquered to deliver victory to the Allied effort. Through the hard work, courage, and great sacrifices of Canadian soldiers and the Allied forces, German forces surrendered on May 7th, 1945, and on May 8th, 1945 Victory in Europe (V-E) Day was declared. Canada proved a…
