Did it ever occur to you that the same drug that it saving you could be harming another life? Well, studies have shown that the way we dispose of our medicine can be toxic, not only to ourselves, but to the marine life as well. When we throw our medicine down the drain, in the trash or the toilet, we are polluting the water and environment around us with chemicals that are harmful to the aquatic life. People assume that throwing their drugs in the trash is a good solution to this problem because…

in as we climbed over the ridge. I had never seen a more beautiful place in my life. There were huge ridges surrounding an elevated pathway, and the light filtered through the clouds in a way that left beams of light dotted along the landscape. The ocean below was clear and teal, and I could hear nothing but…

way to ensure that the ocean is safe. Sharks have populated the earth for over four hundred million years and now, people want to remove them from our oceans [Williamson, 2015]. The introduction of shark culls will allow people to freely kill sharks in an unorthodox manner, threatening the lives of many shark species. Despite what the media depicts of them, most people do not know that sharks are vital when it comes to maintaining the ocean ecosystem and maintaining the ocean that human kind…

something to live here. Then you see a fish swim by. The only way they can survive in this ecosystem is if they have adaptations. An ecosystem is all the living and nonliving things in an environment. Neritic zone is like the goldilocks zone. The most ocean organisms live here because of the constant temperature, low pressure, and the sunlight. Also here there are some crazy fish. Like the lionfish. This zone can be cold or warm because it is located on every coast. Apparently, lionfish have no…

and to top it off a brand new phone. I was going to one of my favorite places to go to the beach. I was going to trying to do some kiteboarding. I was going with one of my best friends of all time, Thomas Bacon. We rented a beach house right on the ocean. We packed up two cars with surfboards and boogie boards galore. We drove for six hours down with me watching movies on my phone. We stopped at Williamsburg to see a friend at William and Mary. The trip was going remarkably without flaw. We…

Hurricane Sensor seems to be the most useful for researchers and explorers today. The 'Mailbox', discussed in the first passage, "sent powerful jets of water down curved metal tubes..The clear water flushes away 40ft. wide strips of sand on the murky ocean floor." (found under the picture near line 6). This machine helps people find underwater treasures. When it comes down to it, it's not as useful or advanced as the other inventions discussed. Treasure may give wealth, but that's not what's…

So with all that being said how is climate change affecting the world? A. The oceans are…

learned new things that connected and explained many of the observations my group had made. I learned that the reason the water was so mercury was because the recent effects of El Nino, causing the rainfall to drag all the trash into the ocean and polluting the ocean. This thout me that whenever any results that are found they have to be linked to previous events in order to understand their causes. In addition, I learned that for an MPA to be effective several sources need to be taken into…

“Life is like the ocean. It can be calm and still or rough and rigid, but in the end, it is always beautiful.” (-Author unknown) This means that if life throw a curveball or a unexpected thing, life will correct itself, and something good will come out of your struggles. Picture being a Frogfish, a million hidding spots, like a big game of Hide-N-Seek and Tag, put together to make up your life. Walking/swimming under the surface of the water. The frogfish is such an interesting fish that uses…

construction in the area since there is a high possibility of the buildings being damaged in the future. For example, in 1962 in Ocean City, Maryland, about $7.5 million was spent to repair damage from a storm. Either better protection from storms or not urbanizing a coastal region at all should be put in effect to save money. The potential effect of polluting the ocean should be considered as well before construction. If the construction has the ability to damage the environment, then…
