Introduction Coral reef ecosystems are arguably one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. (Spalding 2001) Because of the marine life that swarms these areas, the reefs are comparable to those of tropical rainforests. (Spalding 2001) Additionally they play a critical role in the success of coastal communities, providing protection from storms, and drives tourism to these areas. However, due to unfortunate changes that inundates the coral reef ecosystems from increases in human…

when picturing coral reefs, what they do not take into account is destroyed, bleached coral reefs with dying species of fish due to this destruction. This is why we need organizations who will put forth the effort necessary to rebuild and preserve these coral reefs. Many of these organizations lack in their abilities to help the coral reefs as result of the ineffective membership requirements that many of these organizations have. In distinction, the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI)…

atmosphere, also known as Climate Change, creates a plethora of issues for Nature as a whole without doubt and when narrowed down affects the oceans in more ways than one. “Increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere put shallow, warm-water coral reef ecosystems, and the people who depend upon them at risk from two environmental stresses: 1) elevated sea surface temperature (that can cause coral bleaching and related mortality), and 2) ocean acidification.” “Experimental evidence…

view the oceans as an indestructible force simply because they are so vast. This mentality is what is destroying the oceans. Marine pollution is causing failure in the reproductive systems of aquatic animals. Marine pollution is causing the coral reefs to shrink. Oxygen levels in the ocean are decreasing on a daily basis. Ocean temperatures are rising. Animals are ingesting large numbers of plastic and toxic waste. All because of…

book, Coral Reefs, by Simon Rose, presents that categories of coral reefs, what coral reefs are home to, and the dangers that they may face. Coral reefs are made up of coral polyps that attach and multiply to a limestone skeleton called a calicle. Coral reefs are categorized in three ways, which is by their type. 1. Fringed reef, 2. Barrier reef, 3. Atolls. The fringed reef either borderers the shore near a lagoon, or it will be directly attached, next is the barrier reef. The barrier reef, on…

Why do you suppose two Betta fish always fight when placed into a bowl of water? It could be inferred to be a territorial instinct, or probably a way to fight for mates, but whichever way you look at it, they always seem to fight when placed together. Beta fish, much like people, can sometimes fight for similar reasons, but sometimes it can be for more personal reasons like religion or values. In Chinua Achebe’s book, Things Fall Apart, he tells the story of an eighteenth century African…

What a blighted day. I was hoping to go out to the sea drowning myself in the cool sea water fighting against the heat wave. But it wasn’t that easy. Flying through the air with a hunk of metal would be crazy talk but in the days where internet doesn’t exist. The flight was pleasant, the air stewardess were gorgeous with their curves all at the right place. The flight meal for once taste amazing. Absolutely amazing. Who would have thought I would enjoy an airplane meal. Yet there will always…

Comparing the Intrinsic Similarities and Characteristic Differences in Arthropods and Mollusks. Coastal regions possess a unique characteristics in which all plant and life forms have to adapt in order to be able to survive in such regions. One major characteristic of these regions is due to the constant wave motion of the seas in coastal regions. Hence, life forms such as Arthropods and Mollusks, predominant life forms present in these coastal regions, adapt and specialize to be able to thrive…
