With the introduction of the Carcinus maenas, the L. littorea with the thickest shell is strongly selective as an anti-predation technique against C. maenas (Hughes et al, 1979). The shell is the thinnest has lower survival against C. maenas predation, whereas, the thicker L. littorea shell is the bigger their survival rate is. L. littorea collection was performed at Fitzgerald J V Marine Reserve, Half Moon Bay California. About 120 snails were collected from the rocky intertidal zone, 60 from…

Santa Cruz is on the verge of becoming one of the top dogs of marine science research and education. It’s located on the edge of the Monterey Bay National Marine sanctuary. Santa Cruz has facilities that are a diverse range. Their goal is to support and develop facilities to enhance marine science research and education. The coastal zone is where interactions occur between organisms. Having access to this affects the environment in a huge way around the world. We humans having a role in the…

Crown-of-thorns Starfish or COTS are marine invertebrates that are responsible for approximately 42 percent of the loss of coral on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (Cranston, 2015). Plagues of this starfish have destructed coral reefs world wide. Scientists have identified fossil evidence dating back to millions of years ago, however outbreaks have only been detected in the last 50 years (Cranston, 2015). They are characterised by their venomous thorns and are capable of piercing through…

in order to maintain and ensure the survival of coral reefs all around the world. Without the reefs, there will be significant consequences. According to the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, “Approximately five hundred million people depend on the coral reefs.” This dependence varies from things such as a source of food, protection from the vicious storms coming in from the oceans, tourism, and many more services. Without the coral reefs, millions of people would lose their jobs. Developing…

important so they all had to figure out a way to survive anything to global warming to the yearly cold winters. There are about 15 different species of whale in the Great Barrier Reef alone, most of them migrate north while the southern hemisphere have their winter to breed. So while they are staying at the Great Barrier Reef it is very important for their species survival. While the dolphins mostly inhabit the tropical waters waters so a rise in the ocean temperature should not affect them.…

But the most used and recommended on the great barrier reef is injecting the starfish with a solution that does not hurt the reef but does kill the starfish like sodium bisulphate.

snapped a pic of a nearby seahorse, octopus and fishys those were some rare moments and while I was in a area filled with corals reef everywhere I took a sample and examined it. Found out that despite its importance it suffers from degradation while marine debris and impacts from fisheries are causing problems in the uninhabited Northwestern hawaiian. And that the reef ecosystem feeds, shelter and provides habitats for fish, protects the shoreline from waves and sand erosions and creates…

In Stranded Deep, you take the role of a plane crash survival victim stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You have sharks, deserted islands and shipwrecks. This survival game has some of the most stunning graphics. Like that is probably one of the best aspects of this game is how good the game developers made the graphics. The sunsets and the moonlight that shines off the ocean is breathtaking. It leaves you saying, "Wow!" The audio is also good, but it has pretty much everything that…

(12inches) long and weighing 4.5kg (10lb) have already been noted.
