Today we planted around 100 mangrove plants in tidal swamp. The area has been taken over by invasives recently, which outcompetes the mangroves that are so vital to the ecosystem. The mangroves provide habitat for many species of birds and fish, unlike the invasive plant. Destroying mangrove habitat for poorly planned rice farms allowed invasives to take over and seriously harm mangrove populations, which means there’s less habitat and more erosion. This is an example of how the placement of…

A changing climate is proving a threat to the world. Increased CO2 emissions are leading to rising sea levels, melting ice caps, extreme weather, and an increased rate in the extinction of species. However, the question of why endangered species are important to conserve arises. What is the purpose of devoting the effort to protect a single species when so many more exist? The ignorance argument, as Elliott Sober outlines in his article “Philosophical Problems for Environmentalism,” offers a…

California is a major issue that has been one of the main causes for them to ban plastic bags. The ocean water has raised a big health concern in California because people are swimming in water that has trash floating around them. Banning plastic bags is one of the most important things that have happened to the California environment because it will reduce the amount of plastic that is going into the Pacific Ocean. The water in California has a very big impact in what has caused the great…

of the ocean, the miles of division, one was clamped down, one was helpless, one was condemned…” shows a deep insight into one’s mind of being stranded on an island. “… faced by the brute obtuseness of the ocean…” is a profound quote referring to the massive exposure of the plain ocean. William Golding is emphasizing that there is not much hope. After being on the island for months, the children are savages with less hope for rescue. I notice that brute is in the sentence. The brute ocean…

The Harlequin Duck is one of the many organisms on the Canadian endangered species list. Although the number of Harlequin Ducks is gradually growing and the ducks have been spotted in different regions of Canada. Harlequin Ducks are small, subarctic sea ducks that weigh an average of 1.3lbs and can be up to 18 inches in height. The bright colours of the males attract the females. They tend to nest and breed on fast moving streams. The ducks first time breeding is when they are 2 or 3 years old.…

The data shows that once the round goby was introduced to the ecosystem the native species began to decline. The four native species in lab were perch, bass, bluegill, and walleye. Each species had to use a different utensil to collect food. The perch used one plastic spoon, the bass used two knives, the bluegill used one fork, and the walleye used two forks. In graph one it is shown that the smallmouth bass still survived greatly even with the round goby in the ecosystem. In table 2 the round…

At one point I wish I were in the ship, at some point, no .One may think this sinking is a reality. In the vastness of the ocean it is easy to lose hope.
