During a trip to California, we took the opportunity to visit the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Oceanography Institute with our cousins. During that trip, we saw plenty of marine life, as well as looking at plenty of issues concerning the ocean. Here, I will go over some of the issues and marine life we explored at the Birch Aquarium. When we first walked in, a man with a strange contraption, two plastic boxes on a table, said, “Want to see a flood?” Interested, we walked over and saw that…
DTE FUN ZONE This is the stuff I think should go where the fallen DTE site is. I say they should put a beach in because in the summer a place to relax and have fun. Another thing i think should be there is an arcade for gaming. A park would be a good choice because it would have a food stand and a play set too. My main choice to put there is a boat marina with a free fish cleaning spot. My most important element is the Marina because that would be the main attraction to get more and more…
The day was blazing hot with the sun bronzing my skin with the blue skies radiating the same color as the ocean. The waves were calm and peaceful; the crystal clear floors reveal every sand dollar and broken up seashell on the sand below. It looked as if it were a vivid beautiful painting. We weren’t the only ones at the reef embracing its beauty. All of us had the same intentions that day. We geared up with our equipment to begin our adventure exploring the oceans reef. I put on my polarized…

This area is the perfect melding of city proximity…
The ocean is both beautiful and therapeutic. The sound of the waves crashing against each other relaxes the mind. In Port-Norfolk, behind the homes, under the underpass, and beside the dock there is a park area overlooking the Elizabeth River. Donated by locals, the park known as Reflection Path was built in honor of friends and family battling cancer. The view from Reflection Path ignites the senses and soothes the soul. As you approach the park, the feel of spongy grass smushes between the…
dot the landscape, and eroding tubes form channels descending from the island’s peak to the black volcanic sands near the beach. The surface of the interior is covered in volcanic ash, blown over from Santa Cruz centuries ago. The view from the lookout surveys the iconic Pinnacle Rock in the forefront, Sullivan Bay in the distance, and Daphne Major and Minor towards the…
get there. Since we drove we spent almost twenty five hours in the car! My baby sister was either crying or sleeping during all twenty five hours! The car ride was fun however. We played lots of games during the trip. We rented a condo right on the beach, the view was spectacular. During the trip we swam in the gulf and in the pool, we looked for shells, we ate at all kinds of restaurants too.…

sand and feel the breeze blowing in your face. Where you can swim in the salty water and take long walks on the beach in the smooth, soft, and cold sand. It’s a place where you can taste the juicy steak and all the tropical flavors filling your empty stomach as you overlook the beach and the joyful tourists having fun on the beach. Where you can wake up every morning to the beautiful beach and turquoise water. Being an 11 year old, I knew a little about the poverty in the Dominican…
1. When coastal regions are utilized for urban development, potential effects should be considered prior to construction. This includes the possibility of bad weather and pollution. If a coastal area is susceptible to bad weather, it would not be smart to start 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…
