of the marine wildlife. One of the things that can help reduce the rate and effect of emission is to lower the amount to greenhouse gases in the air. Coral reefs are at the heart of the sea. They are a critical to some of species that live in the ocean. They use the coral to find sources of food and shelter which in return supports the commercial fishing used to feed people all around the world. They also are a natural border that breaks down storm surges that could happen at any time. Coral…

Too much pollution in the ocean can make the seawater become too acidic. When the water is too acidic, some marine animals cannot survive. For some marine animals, acidic water reduces their ability to grow shells. “For instance, the thin shell of marine snails is easily eaten away by acid waters” (Levete, 15). The ability to not grow shells can decrease its chance of survival. The marine snails will have less protection without those shells, so they could get eaten more easily by predators.…

Researchers have created filtering machines to help reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. Also, researchers are thinking of artificially enhancing the growth of phytoplankton; which absorb nearly the same rate of carbon dioxide from the ocean and the atmosphere as land plants do. However, others argue that both of these can have severe consequences and possibly cause more harm. “Washing carbon out of the air” by Klaus Lackner is about machines that could help reduce and…

Damage to the Oceans: Marine Pollution The oceans and its wildlife are suffering from irreversible harms. The spreading of harmful materials such as oil, plastic, industrial and agricultural waste into the ocean can damage marine life and even effect people. Pollution comes from many sources such as manufacturing, litter, and even sewage. If we do not make changes quickly then we will suffer from permanent damages to Earth’s largest bodies of water and wildlife. Domestic sewage often finds its…

The variance is from waterskiing to surfing. Additionally just soaking up the cool water on the beach is popular. Air-conditioning is necessary in some areas. Not going out at all or going to the air-conditioned malls become common. Water is always required in this climate, as hydration needs consideration to keep the cramps away or worse heat stroke. Prevent Sunburn by using light clothing. Cold – During the cold weather, snow sports are a favorite. Skiing on the slopes or…

In order for a destination to be sustainable, it has to make sure that it practices sustainable development. The graph shown below gives an example of how the three parts involved in sustainable development should come together to create a sustainable destination. Johann Dreo (March 9, 2006), Sustainable development. Retrieved: April 22, 2008 from www.wikipedia.org/sustainable_development This model was created by Johann Dreo, he put it forward in his work on sustainable development.…

the 21st century and beyond sue to global warming. It is predicted that the sea level will continue to rise by up to 60cm by 2100 in response to ocean temperature rising and glacier and ice caps melting. There are two main factors that lead to global warming, firstly thermal expansion of seawater and secondly water mas input from land ice melting. Ocean temperature data collected has shown a significant increase during the second half of the 20th century. Thermal expansion accounts for 25% of…

can only think about themselves and not about the environment. Today, sharks are declining rapidly on a global scale because humans have replaced them as oceans top predator (Fairclough). Restating that, humans, whose natural environment is on land, have replaced sharks, whose natural environment is in the sea, as the top predator of the ocean. It is astonishing how humans believe they can take over the world and that all other living organisms are below them. When they go out and destroy these…

In a recent ABC Science article (2016) the author, Rachel Sullivan, references a study in the journal Biology Letters (Connel, Gillanders, Nagelkerken, Russel, 2015), to draw a conclusion that ocean acidification will negatively affect the soundscape that fish larvae rely on to navigate through the ocean. Rachel Sullivan uses a captivating title and misleading photo, a recently popular topic such as the effects of climate change, while omitting key study information to ultimately capture the…

rather deeply into this issue and states that “this type of mining will remove permanently a major habitat type, causing local extinction of organisms” (). Removing nodules can also lead to the pollution of water around the area. Anything lying on the ocean floor ends up getting mixed up into the water, leading to the clogging of fish gills and possible physical damage to organisms, from rocks, shells, or other debris. Little has been done to moderate deep sea mining. In an ideal world, deep sea…
