It should be in everyones best interest to minimise the world’s marine pollution, the vast growth of pollution in our ocean is affecting marine life such as coral reefs and sea animals. With pollution on the rise it is declining our marine future, which can be a worry for the worlds oxygen with a large percentage of the planet’s oxygen coming from marine plants. Marine life stability is one of the most important issues this century. We are constantly having large numbers of sea animals dying…

1.Summarize the information from the group visual The visual contains the role and impact the inverse specie,Green Crab has on the ecosystem.The Green Crab is native to Europe but at time went by it spread to America,australia and is at risk of spreading all over the world. The spread of Green Crabs was most likely by natural dispersal in the oceanic currents,or by domestic dispersal mechanisms.Also Green Crabs can tolerate a wide range of environmental extremes such as cold temperatures,…

Every day, when Jerry turned on the light of the fish tank, the corals started to extend. The snails would come out of their shells and the fish would swim to the surface to ask for food. Everything seemed so peaceful, but there was this day when Goby Fish suddenly said, “Hey! CoCo Worm! What happened to your feathers?” All the tankmates looked at CoCo Worm. Normally, CoCo had two crowns full of feathers, which it uses to filter feeding, but now CoCo had only one up on its head. “Poor CoCo,…

What is a small blue frog that is poisonous? The blue poison dart frog of course. Blue poison dart frogs are very interesting animals. They are interesting because they are the most poisonous type of frogs. The animal I chose is the blue poison dart frog also known as the Azureus. The phylum it belongs to is Chordata. Characteristics of the Chordata phylum are: most have vertebrates in other words animals with a backbone, they live in water for part of their life, they have no…

Red tide has always been an issue for the beaches of Florida. Because of the smell and the fish washing up on shore, red tide puts stress on the economy. The billion-dollar tourist industry takes a decline when red tide comes around. Also, red tide puts stress on the environment causing algae to give the water a red discoloration and deplete the water of oxygen causing fish and other marine life to sadly die. Because of the toxins created by red tide, skin irritations and respiratory trouble may…

Based on the results I got, the smaller the animal was the lower the mean LDH activity was. Another factor that can affect the LDH levels in a species could be where the animals live. Lizard-fish, which had the highest mean LDH activity, tend to live in shallow and deep waters all around. They like to burry themselves in sand or mud on the bottom and not move until prey comes along. My group’s hypothesis was incorrect, croaker fish did not have the highest LDH activity. Lizard-fish and croaker’s…

A marine biologist studies organisms found in the ocean. As a marine biologist, you conduct research on the organisms found in their home, the ocean. For example,a marine biologist may study how different species in the ocean interact with one another. A person with this career may additionally study how these marine animals have evolved over time or even conduct research on a newly found species. A marine biologist collects samples of marine animals to conduct tests to find out how these…

Horseshoe crabs are an important part of the ecology of coastal communities. During the nesting season, especially in the Mid-Atlantic States, horseshoe crab eggs become the major food source for migrating birds. Over 50% of the diet of many shorebird species consists of horseshoe crab eggs. Many bird species in Florida have been observed feeding on horseshoe crab eggs. In addition, many fish species rely on horseshoe crab eggs for food. Horseshoe crabs are currently exploited in three…

a) Another example of how humans have impacted the stimulus coastal environment is urban development of the coastline. The increased amount of people living near the coast has resulted in more residential construction along the coast and the development of sand dunes for 'prime' real estate and recreational purposes. This has had devastating effects on Australia’s coastline including the damaging effects on the sand dunes that protect the inland areas during times of high energy storms. The…

Discharge from both Lynn and Swampscott enter King’s beach at the Stony Brook outfall. This discharge includes both stormwater and wastewater. In 1991, secondary treatment of wastewater became optional in Lynn, so the wastewater that runs into the waters and sand at King’s beach is not likely to have received secondary treatment. Bacteria counts fail to meet standards for both ambient water quality and are higher than allowed for safe swimming. Further, the stream that runs across the beach is…
