In another time of war, WWII, water would be a means of power and advancement. Once again Americans weren’t eager to get involved in war as many saw it as far and distant. It wasn’t until we were attacked at Pearl Harbor that our perception of the war changed. The United States knew that an attack was going to happen in the Pacific but they didn’t know where or when until it happened on December 7, 1941. Japanese planes bombed the naval base in Hawaii and flew into ships. Naval warfare in the…

Ric O’Barry Imagine the ocean without fish, just a giant empty body of water. Animals have their purpose in existence. They all fit together some how in the food chain, or the circle of life.

People may go and buy at Melchor or Chetumal but only for a day or half a day this is only for shopping but once you…
