Marine salvage

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…

Have you ever thrown a gun rapper on the ground? Or maybe dropped a piece of trash and just didn’t pick it up? Although these things are little the effects they have on our world are large. Littering negatively impacts sea life, our everyday life, and costs a ton to clean up. Discarding plastic products, including snack wrappers and grocery bags quickly fill up landfills and even clog drains. According to the “Statistic Brain Research Institute” 9 billion tons of litter are…

Trouble in Trash People have always used plastic as a number one way to carry most of the people objects or foods. worldwide annually use for grocery bags is about 1 trillion every year.In an article published by the journal science in 2015 conducted an experiment saying that 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in ocean every year. Obviously, that's a great amount of plastic ending up in the ocean and people already have discovered places in the ocean full of plastics just floating in the…

A Chance to Participate The Marine Science Summer Lab Experience sounded like such a fun experience when I was introduced to it by my AP Biology teacher. This is a chance for any student interested in learning about marine biology. Over the course of one week, student will be able to research and participate in many activities and projects involving marine biology. I have no idea what I want to do after my high school career. All I know is that I want to do something related to biology for the…

Plastic marine debris has become increasingly problematic. Angela Sun, a journalist from California, made a movie called, “Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” The movie is about plastic marine debris and how it affects wildlife. Sun heard from a friend about this giant island in the Pacific Ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Most people believe that the garbage patch is a very large, solid patch of garbage sitting in the Pacific Ocean. They do not know that the patch…

the full effect on how both underwater life and the impact of trash at a global level. Taking trash out of the environment will affect both the marine life and us. The unhealthy ecosystem for both us and life living in the ocean. This project is designed carefully and not use nets. They use screens allowing sea life to pass through, in turn saving much marine life thus creating a much healthier…

Due to its importance in size, the Yellow River is still a key resource for the Chinese civilization’s development. Nowadays industrial, agricultural and residential areas increasingly contribute to water contamination. However, there are measures that can be taken to reduce the amount of these pollutants. Current interventions addressing pollution control measures depend on the area of location of the river. In this approach, as part of the environment management, chemical and physical tests…

During my service learning project this semester, I had the privilege of serving our community by participating in the 36th Annual Children’s Fair hosted at SUNY Broome Community College. After being an active student educator and experiencing the roles of our community, there has been a lack of diversity offered to families and children. The Children’s Fair was able to offer families and children a various amount of diverse activities and learning opportunities offered throughout our community.…

humans (Barker & Roberts 2004; Hughes et al. 2010). Approximately 20% of coral has been lost worldwide (Wilkinson 2006) with an 80% loss in the Caribbean basin (Jackson et al. 2014). Due to this decline steps must be taken to conserve and restore the marine ecosystems. The most prominent causes of decline are global warming (Hoegh-Guldberg 1999), water pollution (Jackson et al. 2014) and overfishing (Hixon & Carr 1997). The Mesoamerican reef is the second largest in the world, stretching…

Take up your arms men and follow me. Our freedom is at stake, we have declared our independence and now must fight for our very lives. Treason against the crown is a hanging offense. Either we die on the gallows or die for our rights. And so our journey begins, the year is 1776. America’s forefathers have come together to discuss and act upon the injustice England has imposed upon the colonies. Blood has already been shed at Lexington, Bunker Hill, Fort Ticonderoga and Boston. George Washington…
