depend on each other, and need their relationship to survive. In others, both species benefit from the relationship, but do not need it to live. Many mutualistic relationships stand in the world, including multiple in the Chesapeake Bay and other estuaries. Compare and Contrast In some cases of mutualism, neither organism could live without the relationship with the other, just like interdependence. Both terms play a vital role in the ecosystem, food chains, and food webs.…

Greetings Lord Pearson, I am here to help you find a wonderful place to live in the New World. I believe I have found you the perfect colony to reside in. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is a new upcoming colony that has an incredible amounts of potential. Pennsylvania was founded a few years ago by your good friend William Penn in 1681. As you know, William is a Quaker and he wanted to find a safe haven for his people; he also wanted to experiment with liberal ideas and make a profit.…

We arrived when the sun was beaming down on the early morning of October 2nd.I was amazed at the number of Egrets and various other wetland creatures we came upon arriving. We visited the park mainly to expand our knowledge on the ecosystem of the Barnegat Bay area and with time to spare we shot some photos of the beautiful environment before our eyes. Upon arriving at Cattus Island we did about a mile walk to the Barnegat Bay. During the mile walk we went through the wetlands where we…

Conservative received pronunciation, upper-crust received pronunciation or simply U-RP is likely one of the most fascinating accents of English. According to Peter Trudgill's estimation in 1974 only 3% of British population were considered being true RP speakers. Received pronunciation is, in fact, a minority accent. Consequently, conservative RP, as its less used and more archaic variety, has even fewer speakers. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to outline the concept of a social…

Because, when hurricanes hit a region, the seawater merge into wetland, bays, and estuaries, affecting freshwater species of animals and plants that can not survive in water with high level of salinity. Also, hurricanes can drain water from the coastline, causing animals to stuck out of the water and die from suffocation. Similarly, the…

On the east coast of Virginia lies the Chesapeake Bay, is a 200-mile estuary that stretches from Havre De Grace Maryland to Norfolk Virginia with its own very unique and delicate ecosystem. One ongoing issue that faces the Bay is the harvesting of the oyster reefs. 1 Oysters are natural filters and one oyster can filter an average of 50 gallons of water a day. In this delicate ecosystem oysters offers habitat and food to other sea creatures. The oyster industry has played an important role in…

Discussion This section will address three points related to the data presented in the aforementioned figures: (1) critically evaluate the data, (2) interpret the data, and (3) show how they correlate with the current state of knowledge. A systematic analysis of Figures 2 and 3 reveals that much urban sprawl has occurred in the D’Olive Creek Watershed from 1989 to 2016. As stated previously, impervious surfaces reroute runoff, which can impact sedimentation, erosion, and pollution processes in…

While reading the articles, “New ‘phantom’ dinoflagellate is the causative agent of major estuarine fish kills” published in Nature in 1992, and “Killer Algae” published in Discover in 1993, the reader is able to perceive similarities and differences between the two articles. Both articles are about a mysterious species of dinoflagellate that kill large quantities of fish. “New ‘phantom’...” and “Killer Algae” both explain why the species of dinoflagellate is considered a ‘phantom’. The…
