The beach is great. Most people would agree with that statement. Most people would go there for some fun in the sun and relax after a long day or week of work. However, one day, coastal cities and beaches like Miami, Florida and Miami Beach will cease to exist. Crazy right? Unless you’re a presidential candidate with strong views that the climate isn’t changing, not really. The rising sea levels of our oceans is causing a problem. These rising waters have been causing problems for some years now…

Beaches in Skagit Skagit Valley has both freshwater and saltwater beaches, with access to rivers, lakes, bays and other bodies of water. You’ll find sandy shores perfect for sand castles and rocky beaches with great places for wading or enjoying the sunset while enjoying a late dinner in the summertime. If you’re the type of beach-goer who enjoys harvesting clams and oysters, don’t forget to check local laws and regulations regarding safe harvesting, licensing and limit requirements. Here’s a…

Stripped bass inhabit coastal waters up to 10 kilometers from shore and are often found in bays. In spring, they migrate to freshwater rivers and lakes to spawn. There are also landlocked populations, that populations of striped bass that live, grow and reproduce in freshwater and never migrates to the sea. Striped bass can live in both saltwater and freshwater, and the range of this fish is therefore limited chiefly by other factors than salinity. Such limiting factors can for instance…

When discussing our health and the consumption of livestock it has many people wondering if this vast consumption of livestock is in fact bad for our health. Veganism is a movement in which people are making the choice in refusing to consume or use animal products and food. People in todays generation have been adapting to a new way of eating and a way to change the course of the future of this world. Adapting to this new life style can help reduce the problems with diminution of our natural…

to evaluate environmental sources can possibly affect the restoration progress. It took 20 years to restore the water supply especially removing all water flow. People continue to provide clean freshwater to in order to build to a well improved natural resource. Lack of rainfall and drainage of freshwater can lead to an entire extinction to the ecosystem. In other words, water “still has to be cleaned in order to make it drinkable” (Brown, 2010, para. 1). Consequently, there’s also “a…

It shows the real hell that war is when he talks about the moaning and cussing of the wounded and dying. He does not try to hide the reality of war. The rhyme scheme is not end rhyme, like most poetry, but it is internal according to Lori Freshwater (Freshwater). She also makes the statement, “This seems to be the right decision by the poet, because this is not a song, this is instead a statement of the strongest kind.” This statement is valid because with this choice of rhyme scheme he…

In particular, the competitiveness of reverse osmosis seawater desalination is highly dependent on the price of electricity. Reverse osmosis pushes water through a membrane to separate the freshwater from the salts; this requires considerable energy input. Electricity expenses represent one-third to one-half of the operating cost of many desalination technologies. The energy intensity of some technologies raises concerns about greenhouse gas…

fish and death to fish embryos. With a level of five, most fish eggs cannot hatch. The effects of freshwater acidification as carbon source changes from carbonate (HCO3) to carbon dioxide (CO2), release of toxic metals, and freshwater fauna and flora gradually changes. Some species of fish or animal can tolerate reasonably acidic water, the animal or plants that eats it might not. Furthermore freshwater acidification can lead to decline and loss of fish population. A pH of 4.5 no fish is to…

Covering over 70% of the Earth’s surface and comprising two-thirds of the human body, water is essential to the sustenance of life (CDC, 2016a). However, only 3% of the world’s water is freshwater (WHO, 2015). Due to the limited availability of freshwater, 663 million people in the world lack access to safe drinking water (WHO, 2015). Contaminated drinking water can contain pathogenic bacteria from human and animal waste, harmful metals, and dangerous chemicals from the improper disposal of…

Only 1 percent of Earth’s water is easily accessible freshwater. This extraordinarily small percentage is split up for use in public supply, irrigation, livestock, domestic, industrial and mining companies, and the thermoelectric power industry. (Perlman). As Palmer states, “there is not nearly enough fresh water available to provide this standard to a global population expected to exceed 9 billion by mid-century.” If the freshwater supply runs out, new drought resistance techniques or somehow…
