As mentioned previously, ocean acidification has internal effects on different developmental stages in the growth and reproduction of marine animals. From the first spark of life of fertilization to the growth of these species can be affected. The 2005 Kyoto University in Japan research determined that carbon dioxide concentration of 200ppm being pumped into the seawater reduces growth rates for many sea species (Hardt & Safina 71). Other experiments show the struggle of phytoplankton balancing…

individuals will have no concern for this situation, that callous attitude has caused devastation for the ocean and its inhabitants. With information from Stephen D. A. Smith and Robert J. Edgar in “Documenting the Density of Subtidal Marine Debris across Multiple Marine and Coastal Habitats,” they found and conducted studies noting troubling observations. During the research, many of the once beautiful oceans are now dumping ground unfortunately accepted by individuals. As it will continue to…

The ocean is huge, it cover 71% of the Earth’s surface, there is a lot of marine life that live in the ocean. This essay will be talking about the ocean and the many thing about it (for example the life, the water and where the water comes from) and what makes it so interesting. There are a lot of marine life in the ocean. The ocean holds about 20,000 species of fish. Over 1 million species of plants and animals live in the ocean. The Pacific ocean has twice as many reefs as the Atlantic ocean…

With only 71 percent of the earths body of water, we have 96.5 percent of ocean resources to meet our current expectations of having a blissful experience along the coastlines. Although this may be true, lately we as consumers are destroying our oceans sustainable body of water, and the sea creature’s life expectancy. Henceforth in the county of Los Angeles specifically, the sustainability of ocean waters are being contaminated by the toxicity of waste being dumped by consumers. Under the…

Oceans of Pollution is written by Dahr Jamail a journalist from America. He wrote this article to inform the public about how serious the pollution in oceans is getting and just how fast it is growing. The use of logical statistics and quotes show that Jamail has put research into this article to make sure the facts are true. With the amount of people doing research and tracking the dead zones around the world there should be more that humans can do to help with the problem, yet still the…

Research Paper: Gem of the Ocean August Wilson 's Gem of the Ocean, set in Pittsburgh in 1904, is full of symbolism. From a slavery bill of sale to the collection of pure dog excretion, Wilson uses symbols to develop a story of how the recent departure from slavery affected African Americans in the early 1900 's. Throughout the play, a cast of characters is introduced, and each one individually represents the mindset of the most common personalities one can find during this time…

Ocean acidification is described by many scientists as a consequence of rapid increase of carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean. As ocean acidity increases, its capacity to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere decreases. This decreases the ocean 's role in moderating climate change, "they write (Cullinane.1). As serious as this may seem several damaging effects are happening to the oceans as we speak. The most important creatures in the ocean’s ecosystem like coral are being depleted and…

Climate change's equally evil twin is the name for ocean acidification its harmful because of the excess amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since we don't see or feel it because the effects are happening underwater. CO2 is released by burning coal,oil and gas but its doesnt stay in the air but it dissolves into the oceans. The oceans have absorbed 525 billion of CO2 from the atmosphere and they collect about 22 tons per day. Scientist thought it was it good thing because it wasn't…

is covered in approximately 71% water, 97% off all Earth’s water is found in oceans which provide for life on earth. Oceans are important because they provide over half of all oxygen in the atmosphere, but also absorb large amounts of gasses from the atmosphere. Unfortunately oceans are under the constant threat of not just overfishing or pollution, but mainly acidification which damages delicate ecosystems greatly. Ocean acidification is caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the…

in the world’s oceans, and each year, 8 million tons of plastic are added to the count. That’s equivalent to one municipal garbage truck pulling up to the beach and dumping its contents every minute" (Groden). Pollution in the ocean has become a serious problem. Plastic disperses quickly throughout the ocean, causing harm to the coastlines and the open water. As time progresses cleaning up the plastic litter in the ocean will become more difficult. Humans need to clean up the ocean because,…
