It is at this point undeniable that changing environmental conditions are having serious implications on the ecosystem and its life processes. Although the marine environment is a separate system, its deteriorating conditions are not an issue apart from our own. Humans depend on marine ecosystem functions and services that are being heavily depleted due to the synergistic effects of global warming with all other anthropogenic disturbances. The ocean provides the greatest…

Non-market valuations have become increasingly important for placing monetary values for the environmental goods and services. The specified…

Owen Chase, originally a mate on the Essex, took over Captain Pollards authority…

1. Introduction The most recent research lines are based on understanding wild paralarvae behaviour and prey preferences, refining paralarval nutrition and rearing conditions for O. vulgaris welfare (Iglesias and Fuentes et al., 2014). In the culture of cephalopods, the paralarval life stage is a critical period, especially for octopuses. During this period, the paralarvae must initiate the consumption of a suitable diet to grow, requiring stable conditions for proper development (Iglesias &…

CORAL REEF DIVING IS AN ALL-TIME FAVORITE TO MOST SCUBA DIVERS. BUT LIKE IT OR NOT, SCUBA DIVERS ARE CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE WORLD’S CORAL REEFS.

Not to say that all divers are harming reef life intentionally. But due to some divers’ lack of proper training, it is done unknowingly at times. Coral reef diving possesses some unique…
