Trip to Bora Bora There is a lot of places in earth that I would love to go to, but the one that catches my attention is Bora Bora, French Polynesia. It’s the most beautiful place ever, I have seen a YouTuber go for vacation and it seem liked she really enjoyed it. Since last year I have been wanting to go Bora Bora, it is like one of my goals. You go and also seem to learn about their background. Where you stay it looks like they treat the people like kings and queens. I love the sea and that’s…

This year marks an anniversary of sorts for the Galapagos achipagio, one that has been happening every seven years since the end of the Ice Age, El Niño. It’s a Darwinian celebration, a natural event that is laden with surprises for some of the islands inhabitants and setbacks for others. The tradition starts with the characteristic cool Humboldt Current being offset by warmer water, effectively cutting off the algae and food supply for the marine iguana, the blue-footed Bobby, sea lions and…

Essex coastline hosts a rich and diverse range of biodiversity life. As many coasts across the United Kingdom, it suffers from competing demands for uses of the seas which puts huge pressure on the marine environment. Some habitats and species have been affected by many factors. That has led the government to introduce legislation measures to protect the marine community. In this essay, I will look at how marine conservation zones would be beneficial to help the marine biodiversity in the UK.…

Not only is water one of the key parts of life but it is the home to many animals such as fish and crabs of course the ocean is home to alot more animals but the lakes and rivers are just as in portinten they are home to a lot of animals such as bluegill and catfish the lakes and rivers are 0.0081%of the earth's waters which is a really really really small small amount the oceans make 96.8%of the world's water which is really really big amounts of water the only bad thing about that is that it…

Turtles and Sloths Sloths and Turtles are different and similar in so many ways because they are both animals but different species. The three main differences between turtles and sloths; size; color. The differences between the Turtle and Sloth are where they live, their size, and their color. The turtle and sloth are both slow, but they go at different speeds. Different from a sloth, a turtle’s natural speed is 1 mile per hour, its speed is higher than a sloths speed because the sloths is 2…

Dear Senator/Representative, My name is Shae Bauchens, and I am writing regarding my deep concern about how the destruction of coral reefs is eventually going to affect our every day lives as human beings, and how creating laws to stop overfishing will eliminate this issue all together. I did not grow up on a beach town, but my family and I love spending time in the sea. I love the ocean, and could not imagine what my life would be without it. It has played a huge role in my life since I was…

Pycnopodia Helianthoides, which is known as the sunflower seastar, is an extraordinary star fish found in the northeast Pacific. It is one of the largest sea stars in the world, and has a maximum arm-span of 1m (Lambert, 2001). This intertidal organism has many amazing traits that most other sea stars do not possess. I will discuss these unique characteristics throughout my essay. Sunflower seastars have 16 to 24 limbs and are radially symmetrical. It is also the heaviest known sea star on the…

For 16 years, scientists wondered just what had happened with corals in the Florida Keys. In this time period, over half of the corals had perished. They later discovered that the greatest decline was in elkhorn coral. Finally, research showed that the massive coral disappearances were caused by a disease by the name of white pox. The scientists have solved the elkhorn coral mystery using the scientific method - by making observations, conducting experiments, and drawing conclusions. Initially,…

Krystina Joiner per. 4 Ecology Essay Dolphins are big and they affect their ecosystem in a big way. They are so smart, not only for putting on shows at Sea World, but also how they communicate with each other in their natural habitat. Dolphins also have an important niche in the underwater world. They are predators of the food chain. A dolphin shares its ecosystem with many other organisms. Dolphins are very important to the ocean, without them the ecosystem would be unbalanced.…

adapted to periodic exposure during low tide. The neritic zone supports “more species and numbers of organisms than any other zone.” Many other animals, including fishes and sea turtles, live in this zone. This also is the zone that contains coral reefs, which are one the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. The third zone is the oceanic zone. This zone does not contain as many species as the neritic zone because the nutrient levels cannot support the same amount of life as the levels are much…
