The Dutch bought Manhattan from the Native Americans in 1626. England renamed the colony New York, after the Duke of York (later James II and VII) in 1664. New York was widely known as…
“You should be ashamed of yourself for what you did,” the headmistress says seething, barely keeping her cool, “At this academy we hold our girls to a high standard and what you have done is unacceptable.” My hands lay, fingers clasped together, in my lap motionless. I sit poised in the uncomfortable wooden chair and rethink everything that’s happened, how I got in this situation, what I’m going to do after this blows over, and what this means. “I’m sorry-” “No, I am sorry, Miss, but sorry will…

This leaves what is referred to as “barren ground” as the area is now devoid of all the macroalgae and benthic vegetation. Since these were originally a source of food and acted as habitat for local aquatic life, without these present, the remainder of the aquatic species either emigrate in search of other sources of food or simply die off. This thereby reduces the biodiversity of the local ecosystem as the ecosystem is dominated by sea urchins. Mussels are also a dominant similar in similar…
