interviewed Timothy Beatty who is the dad of my friend Jonathan. I chose him because he works in software engineering, but majored in marine biology while minoring in chemistry and computer science engineering. This intrigued me because in high school I took an oceanography class and fell in love with the study, I wanted to major in oceanography and minor in marine biology, but I figured engineering would be more economic. I still love engineering, so it is not something I’m doing just for the…

“Current Science Event: Mealworms can Digest Plastic” Fascinating larvae known as mealworms have been found to be able to biodegrade specific types plastic and styrofoam through microorganisms found in their gastric juices. These larvae cannot only biodegrade plastic so it is not harmful to other aquatic life, but thrive on the innumerable quantities of this waste. Mealworms that engorge on plastic and styrofoam have been found to be just as healthy as mealworms that consumed an organic diet.…

Cleaning Up What is Wrong Many people may argue whether or not it is necessary to clean up ocean pollution. Some believe that it is no harm to the animals. Others feel that pollution is a huge threat to the animals and can result in animal death. Even though individuals can respond by saying it is no big deal, ocean pollution should be controlled because pollution kills animals by strangling, stabbing, and poisoning. One reason people should pick up their trash is because trash ends up in the…

of all, if the Somers Point Marinas join in Clean Marina Initiative, it will increase the safety of all living organisms within land and water. According to The Giving Ocean, “Pollution adds up and contaminates our ocean, as a result hundreds of marine animals eating or get entangled in the trash and die. Our beaches are dirty, people get sick from contact with polluted water and dozens of health advisories tell us which fish are not safe to eat from these waters.” (THE GIVING OCEAN). This…
