Ocean

There are four men stranded on a small insignificant boat, which is easily overturned because of even the slightest movements. This small dismal boat is their only chance of survival as it floats along utterly defenseless atop the vast and cruel ocean. Gulls fly around their little boat without a care in the world, obviously unfazed by the extremely dire situation of these poor men, one…

flamingos in it. We waited to attack the ice breaker ship, while we were waiting all of the flamingos through a party on the tiny boat. Somehow, the people didn’t hear us in the back, like are they dumb dumbs? As soon as we were in the middle of the ocean, we attacked. Everything happen so quickly, next thing you know I was pecking the captain in the face. I moved away because I noticed the captain had scurvy (I did not want to catch that disease). We were still fighting the war, all of the…

climate changes may have far-reaching impacts on the industry (Brennessel, 2008). Temperature increases, as well as increased greenhouse gas levels, will negatively affect shellfish, and the warming of the ocean waters could lead to a redistribution of bivalve species (Brennessel, 2008). Warmer ocean temperatures will also increase the incidence of a seafood associated illness caused by a bacteria called Vibrio that becomes an issue in warmer waters and would cause the shellfish to be unsellable…

life in the ocean. The marine biome covers more than ¾ of the planet we call home. It provides more than ½ of the world’s oxygen and locks away our CO2. Without it more than 3.5 billion people would starve and the US would lose $574 billion of its gross domestic product. The first organisms on Earth came from the ocean, but our marine biome is dying. The average temperature of the world has increased 1-2 degrees over the last few decades. Coral reefs are being bleached and dying from ocean…

stayed at the Rock House hotel. The view from our window was magical. Every day, my sister Devyn, my Dad, and I would go swimming in the pool at the hotel, and my Mom would watch us all while sitting on a lounge chair. We also went snorkeling. The ocean was as clear as a crystal, and the temperature of the water was not too cold. I was able to see all of the…

Are humans causing global warming? For the past fifty years these questions are being asked more and more by scientists who believe that the Earth’s climate is getting steadily warmer at a frightening rate. Earth 's ever-changing climate has seized the attention of scientists whom would have world accept that without a great change to human behavior, the world will end up destroyed. However, scientists are using unreliable information from unreliable sources, as well as scientists do not have…

How Plastic is Affecting Sea Animals “But while there are infinite reasons to love and respect the ocean, it can sometimes feel like the human race is doing everything in its power to harm it.” ~Landess Kearns (qtd. in “11 Quotes About The Ocean That Remind Us To Protect It”) The Ocean has turned into a giant garbage can full of trash, plastic, and waste. It affects seabirds, sea turtles, and even whales by hurting or even killing them. One animal species that is directly affected by this…

The blackfish get deported to a place where no sea is in sight, a place sitting on the same ocean as their ancestors and the other to the ocean sitting across. The blackfish encounter devastating conditions of torture and cruelty. Every day is an uphill battle with no peak in sight. The blackfish age and learn to perform actions and tasks that are unnatural. The blackfish…

to shells? Due to earth’s increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) rates scientists have shown that it can make shells , skeletons and corals up to one-third lighter in weight. As the ocean water becomes more acidic it lowers the calcium carbonate available to aquatic animals. ‘Scientists have predicted that the increase in ocean acidification could significantly reduce the ability of these creatures to build their casings, potentially devastating them and causing rippling effects through the…

No Ocean Left Behind The world’s oceans have suffered a lot at the hands of humans. The human race has done nothing but damage the already tenuous oceans to the extent of scarcity among the resources that is provided by the oceans. “Water is a finite source” (DiCaprio 193) and humans are stripping every ounce of it from marine life and its habitats. The marine environment is on the verge of extinction and action needs to happen. The population needs to come together to find a solution towards…
