Marine Protected Area

The film “Inside the Garbage of the World”, directed by Philippe and Maxine is a documentary that focuses on the growing problem of ocean pollution due to excessive plastic consumption. A serious roster of experts: Capt. Moore (Marine Research Institute), Dan Glaser (Surf-rider foundation), Dr. Andrea Neal (Jean-Michel Cousteau), Professor Christopher Cogan (CSU Channel Islands) want to make people aware of the damage they are doing to animals and the planet because of the high concentration of…

activities that alter the way natural systems operate (Masselink and Hughes 2003). Ironically, armor is supposed to be a protection factor when in fact, it can have both ecological and recreational consequences. An armored section of shoreline may be protected for a little while, but this structure can actually increase the erosion on the beach itself. This happens because the structures are there…

Introduction Invasive species are continually documented as a major risk to ecosystem health and worldwide biodiversity. Invasive marine fish introductions are still considered relatively rare and historically the environmental effects are often discounted. This is different from historically famous invasive species such as the zebra mussels in The Great Lakes, which caused well-documented harmful economic and environmental effects. While these are considered rare, they have been documented,…

Laws are being made to try to prevent pollution from land, sea, and air to protect endangered species, and to try to build marine protected areas. Pollution has been harming organisms all over the world and will continue to harm these species without the effort to help stop polluting the oceans. Oceans absorb 80% of greenhouse gases and 50% of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere…

The specie reduced abundantly because of hunting in the 20th century. The Antarctic blue whale is classified as Critically Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The whales are now protected from commercial and scientific whaling. Climate changes are also having and impact on the whale population in feeding grounds, as well as tourism, krill fishery and research…

It is at this point undeniable that changing environmental conditions are having serious implications on the ecosystem and its life processes. Although the marine environment is a separate system, its deteriorating conditions are not an issue apart from our own. Humans depend on marine ecosystem functions and services that are being heavily depleted due to the synergistic effects of global warming with all other anthropogenic disturbances. The ocean provides the greatest…

Essay writing is an excellent technique to convey information and express one’s thoughts on a subject matter towards an audience. David Gruber, a marine biologist, performed an informative, yet engrossing TED talk, on October 2015, concerning the fascinating sea creatures that inhabit the world’s unfathomable sea. His utilization of an implicit thesis and strong supporting arguments, multiple literary devices and methods of developments, and his overall purpose and effectiveness of the oral…

food by marine animals, and more than a million sea birds and mammals are killed each year by ingestion of plastic. A negative effect of ocean pollution is contaminated drinking water, The risks of your health being negatively impacted by polluted drinking water in a developed country is small in comparison with developing countries. However, it is possible to become ill from contaminated water. While another major negative effect of water pollution is the death of marine animals. Some marine…

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the potential risk of connecting any computer to World Wide Web or any network. With they’re being many threats such as hackers and malicious virus’s; attacks are going to happen whether you’re an organization or just an online shopper. In this day and age it is more often that a security breach is most likely to happen on a personal computer than at a company because the home user is not as secure and the average user is not as “computer savvy”. With that…

the vibrant colors they used to be. When coral reefs lose their good health, organisms cannot live in/around them anymore, and the babies and eggs are exposed to predators, throwing off the aquatic ecosystem. C. 2 ways in which coral reefs can be protected from future destruction are by reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers which enter the ocean through runoff, and by regulating overfishing with laws that set safe catching limits and controls on…
