Mangroves

to which people have balanced. Starting in the west, Sierra Leone has for all intents and purpose 250 miles (400 kilometers) of coastline, giving for it both plenteous marine resources and engaging voyager potential. This is trailed by low-lying mangrove swamps, deluge forested fields and farmland, ultimately a rough level in the east, where Mount Bintumani ascensions to 6,390 feet (1,948 meters). The environment is tropical, with two seasons choosing the agrarian cycle: the tempestuous season…

Introduction: Our biome is the rainforest. The specific rainforest that we picked was the Amazon Rainforest. We picked this type of rainforest because there are many problems. That are destroying the living, for this specific rainforest to live. Here we have in our proposal why you should choose our biome for the zoo. The proposal is to allow you to save this type of ecosystem…

For my honors enrichment project, I have choose to do a photo contest. The photo contest I entered in was the Zeiss. The picture I entered in the contest was a marsh which I took when I visited Pinckney Island. Marshes are usually found on the edge of a stream, pond, or lake. They often flood and if the surrounding area gets too dry, they feed the water from the flood back to stream, pond, or lake. A marsh is a type of wetland, an area of land where water covers ground for long periods of time.…

1. Soil salinity has become a major problem in all agriculture. This has made crops less able to grow and in some cases unable to grow at all. 2. Thus we need to research the possibility of using the genes of salt tolerant plants species (eg: mangrove) in our agricultural crops C. Human Benefits 1. Food can now be fortified with iron through genetic modification, which may help contain a global health crisis. Scientists have also figured out ways to introduce vitamin A into rice, creating…

Did you know that in India air pollution is decreasing its citizens’ life span by about 3.2 years for the 660 million Indian citizens who live in cities, such as Delhi? This is because of the enormous amount of air pollution. Humans have created problems in our country India such as: air pollution, deforestation, and land pollution. Firstly, one of the largest problems in India is air pollution. This dilemma has many effects not only on wildlife and the ozone layer, but also its citizens. This…

Undoubtedly, the human race has become more conscious about our surroundings due to the destruction we have subjected it to as a result of our urban and industrial culture. Through examining the deceptively profound texts, ‘The Wilderness Next Door’ and ‘The Estuary,’ we are able to explore man’s relationship to nature. With our technologically-driven and advanced society and fast-paced lifestyles, we often find it difficult to take a moment to unwind from our busy agendas and reflect on the…

Thorns starfish, although of different species, sizes, and niches, all adapt for one of two common goals: to eat or to keep from being eaten. Adaptations include camouflage and poison. Producers like Halophila seagrasses, diatoms, cyanobacteria, mangrove trees, zooxanthellae, sea lettuce, caulerpa, dinoflagellates, coccolithophore, and rhodophyta, whether they are green plants or phytoplankton, all adapt to stay in the reef. Adaptations include roots that anchor the organisms into the mud and…

is a symbol of life and freshness, but once it loses its life-giving qualities, it is time for tree removal. Payne’s Environmental Services can help your Tampa yard to relinquish its freshness by helping you get rid of all your unwanted pines and mangroves. When Tree Removal is Preferable Trees are living organisms and as with all life, they go through a cycle. First, they must be cared for and nurtured, and then there comes a point when they must wither away, dry up and die. Your trees may be…

The Bahamas, a developing small island state comprised of over 700 islands and cays is confronted with the demand for sustainable growth and development. While The Bahamas remains one of the wealthiest countries in the Western Hemisphere because of strong economic performances, trends in the tourism and financial sectors (the country’s leading industries), increasing unemployment rates, poverty, skill gaps, and incidences of crime threatens the country’s overall development and prosperity.…

Prior to recruitment on the reef it is suggested that snappers use mangroves, sea grass beds, or near-shore reef patches as nurseries. Thus by using these non-reef environments as nurseries they are bringing outside carbon and other nutrients onto the reef (Nagelkerken 2007). If snappers are recruited to the reef first other…
