Marine salvage

Ford Antonino English III 23 March 2017 Marine Biology Marine biology is a field in science that looks solely at the life of marine animals and plants. What is a marine biologist? A marine biologist is the study of oceans and the marine animals in the oceans that lve in our waters. They look at the organism behavior and interactions with the environment. The first research done on marine animals were by Aristotle 322bc. Although there has been marine biology before this time and plenty of…

In The Washington Post article titled, “A close look at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” a discussion arises about reusable plastics. The authors asserts that we are using more one-use plastics than ever before. Sandwich bags, soda bottles, and other commonly used plastics are being dumped into landfills. Because of the quickly overflowing landfills, recycling programs began to be implemented. Unfortunately, in 2010, only about 8% of plastics were actually recycled. The vast majority…

an environmental activist and the captain of the ship Kaisei, which means ocean planet. Crowley is also one of the founders of Project Kaisei. This foundation working to find out how much trash is actually in the ocean, how that is effecting the marine life, and how to reduce the amount of trash going into the ocean. What Crowley finds is shocking, but totally expected. Fish and whales were found to have plastic in their digestive systems. Crowley also discovered that a lot of the trash…

Littering is a potential danger to animals because it can cause them to die, eventually becomeing endangered, and even extinct. In thean article, “5 Ways Plastic Pollution Impacts Animals on Land” by Malorie Macklin, she states quotes that approximately, 101 million animals die each year because of litter and other pollutants. Litter consists of trash that can crucially affect our environment. Whether small or large, trash can have dramatic effects to our environment and animals that people need…

and only account of all sharks killed collectively a year. From the auction records in Hong Kong indicate that there could have been 26 to 73 million sharks killed each year. Sharks are an important part of the ecosystem, and without the sharks the marine ecosystem would fail. Sharks are responsible for feeding on smaller fish. And without the sharks feeding on these fish our seas would be stripped of important plants, because of over consumption. However, there are programs that help decrease…

People have been throwing junk into the water and it’s been polluting the ocean and affecting the animals. There are two types of ocean pollution. There is point source pollution, its pollution that comes from a specific site. An Non-point source is pollution that comes from many sources. The ocean becomes polluted because people dump trash in many places like bandages, vitals of blood and syringes. Ocean Pollution affects many animals, for example the birds and fish. The birds think that…

modern American oceanographer, marine biologist, and a former chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA is an organization that works to predict change in the weather, coasts, and oceans. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also works to protect and manage marine and coastal ecosystems (“About our Agency”, 2018). Earle is one of the first people to make use of modern SCUBA gear, identified new species of marine life, and found new…

There is an amount of a plastic waste that is the size of this rooms that is being thrown in the ocean every minute of every hour of every day. I chose this topic because of the scale of this problem and the speed this problem is growing with. It is a global problem that affects the ocean plants & creatures that live there. So I’ve made a research to tell you about this issue. (Weule) Besides the significant damage it cause to the environment and fauna it affects us directly as well. Today…

Have you ever dreamed of swimming with dolphins? What I dream of being is a Marine Biologists so that the animals that are hurt or injured can recover from their injury.Animals are endangered because of people in the environment of throwing waste in the seas. I would like to accomplish having a plan to help the animals and to get them in better spots,so that when they have a bad burn,or a fin cut off get them in water with some coolness,or some cream on them to heal and make new fins for…

We are two eighth grade students at Incline Middle School and we are writing to you about the trash epidemic in the ocean. There are many different types of debris in the ocean including cigarettes, bags, caps/lids, food containers, cups, plates, utensils and many other types of debris. This can be caused by poorly managed landfill sites, sewer overflows, manufacturing sites, illegal dumping on domestic and industrial trash, and street litter. The great pacific garbage patch is not the only…
