Marine salvage

homes. I also noticed the littering around the beach including squished water bottles and chip bags. Which is really unfortunate because the creatures of the beaches could potentially be harmed by humans littering. Plastic is the most common type of marine litter worldwide according to a fact sheet on beachapedia.org (2017). This website also mentions “Worldwide, 82 of 144 examined bird species contained plastic debris in their stomachs; and in some cases, 80 percent of the population had…

Growing up in the Florida Keys, I have been surrounded by the ocean my entire life and have personally witnessed it gradually get destroyed over the years. Because of tourism playing a huge role in the Florida keys, our beaches and oceans are left polluted and leaving our reefs to extinction. Not only in the Keys, but throughout Florida our waters are heavily polluted by the great amount of tourism in our state. In the Florida Keys and the Caribbean, there has been a vast decline in staghorn and…

As a Marine, the civilian world sees us as an immaculate figure to the United States. In a way giving us the respect and honor we so proudly earn. Inside the Marine Corps we learn to honor these values and morals we received since boot camp. It molds us to become disciplined and show this figure to others. If we loose focus as a Marine we sadly decline that and become to be a lesser than normal civilian. The discipline and the honor fades immediately. One example of this is disrespecting…

Introduction For over 100 million years sea turtles have covered extensive distances across the world 's oceans, filling a fundamental role in the composure of marine habitats. Seven different species of these aquatic reptiles graze our ocean waters, from the shallow seagrass beds of the Indian Ocean, to the vibrant reefs of the Coral Triangle, and even the sandy beaches of the Eastern Pacific. Human activities have tipped the scales in opposition to the survival of these ancient mariners, which…

A Marine Biologist studies the organisms in the oceans or marine waters. Not only do Marine Biologist deal with Marine life but others do too like, microbiologist, marine mammalogist and Fishery Biologist. For the most part, these Biologist have a long way before achieving their goal. They have many science, english and math requirements they deal with before. As far as education goes they first need to take the following courses, biology, zoology, chemistry, physics, biometrics, mathematics,…

These days, a mounting number of fish is caught in almost countries in the world. This phenomenon has become a matter of considerable public awareness. In my perspective, this problem can be attributed to two probable causes. In this essay, I will examine this issue and give some possible solutions. One plausible explanation for overfishing is profit-oriented of large fishing companies. Because of their lucrative target, the prominent mass fishing recent years caused biological imbalance. In…

Today in the world one of the biggest pollution issues come from the ocean. Scientists have been studying for years on how to stop the pollution that one has created. If we look bad to the beginning of when America was founded we can see a different between the ways that the land was being treated. The Indians treated the land with respect but it seems the more one looks into the future the people are treating it worst and worst. The ocean is a place one loves to travel to each year. One hates…

Americans acknowledge the fact that fish are being caught in unsustainable numbers, many fail to realize that overfishing harms marine life in more ways than one. Unwanted fish are accidentally caught by fisheries and are tossed back into the water, often as dead bycatch. A fishing technique called bottom trawling scrapes the seafloor and anything in its path, destroying marine habitats. The absence of large…

Each species in the world have a specific job in our world, a niche, some species are important and get the title keystone. Keystone species have an important life, without them the ecosystem they live in will have a domino effect that will change the ecosystem or destroy it all together (Nancy, 2013). The Sea Otter (Euhydra lutris) are remarkable creatures in that they help keep their environment in check (Konar, 2000). The genus name Euhydra and the specific name lutris are both translated…

and the health of our planet are all in danger as these numbers continue to rise. In the North Pacific Ocean, there is a large mass of garbage about the size of Australia. Here, 750,000 micro plastic pieces can be found per square kilometer. The marine life is absolutely riddled with plastics an other garbage. All the garbage is moved to this specific spot called the “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch” by ocean currents that create a vortex that makes it virtually impossible for trash to ride…
