The answer is one that you don’t often learn about in your high school history class; the United States Merchant Marine was an invaluable part of the United States’ victory over the Axis forces during World War II.

As stated by Orams (as cited in Cater, 2007, p. 7), "Coastal and marine tourism includes those recreational activities which involve travel away from one's place of residence which have as their host or focus the marine environment and/or the coastal zone." This is the case for Indonesia, Thailand,…

The soft breeze blew my hair back. The fresh autumn feel and the excitement within me sent a shiver down my back. I could smell the salty ocean. I was standing atop the hill in front on my house over looking the ocean. My breath formed little clouds as I breathed out warm air.

One goal I would love to accomplish is being a marine biologist. I love the ocean and animals, so I thought combining them would be a good idea. Basically being a marine biologist means I would be studying the ocean animals from big to microscopic organisms. I wasn’t really into sea life until I saw Dolphin Tale and went to Florida. After I watched Dolphin…

During my senior year of high school, I had to present a project in my marine biology class. All of the students were given a subject to write a paper on and we then had to present it to the class along with our fellow group members. Me being the overachiever I was at the time decided to make a power point presentation on what we were assigned and have me and my fellow group mates present it to the class. The delivery was poorly thought out and it mainly consisted of a bunch of pictures that we…

across the United Kingdom, it suffers from competing demands for uses of the seas which puts huge pressure on the marine environment. Some habitats and species have been affected by many factors. That has led the government to introduce legislation measures to protect the marine community. In this essay, I will look at how marine conservation zones would be beneficial to help the marine biodiversity in the UK. The last two centuries have shaped the British coastlines differently due to climate…

The top layer is called the sunlight, or euphotic, zone which is the top of the ocean, what we see without having…
