The great lakes have experienced a rise in the number of harmful Alga blooms (NOAA, n.d.).

Cladophora is responsible for one particular alga bloom which grows at the bottom of the lake (NOAA, n.d.). Large piles of Cladophora can be found washed up on the shores of beaches after it dies (NOAA, n.d.). Harmful bacteria are trapped within these piles which can harm humans…

Whale industry is popular in several countries, Japan, Norway, Iceland, in some parts of Russia and Canada. Thousands of whales have been killed and this has to stop because whales population is decreasing. Whales are long-lived, from 70-150 years, and slow to reproduce. It makes them very vulnerable to population collapses. The IWC allows Norway to hunt under an “objection” to the ban and Japan use “ research purposes” loophole to hunt whales. In addition, these countries are claiming that…

According to “Carp Diem: A Fishy Tale” by CBC, 2013, Asian Carps are reproducing in large amounts and tend to outcompete native species. The Asian carps are…

Regon Brenner The scope of government is a continual question in society, when should the government get involved? And if so, how much should it be involved? When it comes to case 4.4 in Kettl’s these are pertinent questions. I do not think that there is a “shark problem” because sharks are a natural part of the environment and have been around longer than humans. According to the case, the risk of a shark attack is relatively low. That being said, it is not unreasonable for the government to…

Tips for Catching Summer Bass Most fishermen tend to follow the season by water temperature and what fish are season, not by what the calendar says. Summer is in full bloom here and this means bass have retreated from their rocky shallow nesting ground to find cover and a place to hunker down for the hot summer months. Although less aggressive and harder to find, bass can still be caught. Although Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass have slightly different feeding habits—for example, Smallies like…

Abstract: Human impact has lead Eubalaena glacialis, or the North Atlantic Right Whale, population to be classified as critically endangered. Habitat fragmentation, fishing entanglement, whaling, and shipping are of the main direct human impacts that have affected the North Atlantic Right Whale population. This leads to a decrease in population because of mortality, injury, or other health impacts. Despite conservation efforts the North Atlantic Right Whale population has not seen much growth…
