The Kimberley Coastal Camp is one of the most exclusive travel fishing destinations in the top end of Australia. Isolated and pristine, the focus is on creating an intimate atmosphere while reducing impact on the local environment. Nestled on the pristine shores of the Admiralty Gulf opposite the Mitchell Plateau in Western Australia, the Kimberley Coastal Camp can't be accessed by road. Arrival is either by a spectacular floatplane experience with an impressive water landing or an exhilarating…

four days since anyone has seen or heard from Santiago. I’m worried something bad might have happened to the old man. I try to calm myself and remember Santiago can handle himself, but I can’t help thinking he may be in trouble. Search and rescue boats, planes, and helicopters looking for Santiago, but each time they return back empty handed. Everyone in town has been anxious for Santiago to return. Trying to continue each day normally, I fish just as I would any other day. Yet every time I go…

Part II: The Old Man and the Sea Summary “Part II” of The Old Man and the Sea begins with the author, Earnest Hemingway, placing the elderly fisherman in deep thought. Thinking of his main purpose in life, Santiago believes that his main purpose is to be a lifelong fisherman. Seeing that he was in the subaqueous part of the sea, he no longer had a view of the myriad flecks of the plankton. Furthermore, since he was deep into the sea, consequently, he decided to slumber for a while. However…

stocks on the planet. The thing is that not only does our local ocean ecosystem get effected by local overfishing but also by overfishing world wide because of how certain fish migrate around the world to other areas. A big part of overfishing is the fishing companies that troll for fish. There nets they use are big enough to hold 4 commercial jumbo jets. Not only do they catch a lot of the fish there targeting but they also catch a lot of by catch. By catch is the…

The invasive effects of Dreissena polymorpha on native mussels within the Great Lakes region The Great Lakes area once supported an abundant number of freshwater mussels (Mollusca: Unionacea). The invasion of Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) has decimated these populations, by outcompeting native mussels in dispersal rates, and reproduction, due to enhanced survival mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms that have allowed Zebra mussels to out complete native fresh water mussels, will…

I wonder if the narrator will pick the bass or Sheila. If the narrator pick’s the bass, the narrator would have to give up fishing and he loves it a lot. He has spent a lot of money on his fishing supplies and thinks that he might just give it up for a girl. He hasn't been listening to Sheila very much because he really wants the fish and he even says that there will be other girls that may really like fishing.The girl was mainly talking about herself a lot and he wasn't really listening to her.…

for me a myriad of memories and emotions, a peace and tranquility that no other place has been able to bring me too. I close my eyes and see the cerulean crystalline waters looking out of my dad’s tan 1986 Toyota land cruiser, trailing his 16ft flats boat behind us. This was my favorite part of the drive when we leave Florida City and pass by the edges of the Everglades onto that famous 7-mile bridge. I would get a first real look at the expanse of crystal blue water. This is when I would begin…

In my research on the Osprey I found that it has such unique characteristics that it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion, and family, which is the Pandionidae. An Osprey gravitates towards shallow fishing grounds because they are unable to dive more than about three feet below the water’s surface, therefore, their habitat includes almost any shallow fish-filled waters, such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, swamps, or marshes. It is the only hawk on the continent that eats almost…

Now to transition from aquacultures detractions into a potential situation that would be very interesting if it were to take place as it goes along with the topic, benefits of aquaculture. It is fairly obvious in the past decade that Bighead, Silver and Black Carp have become a serious annoyance to the many residents of the Mississippi River basin. I’m not even going to mention how terrified everyone is of the possibility of a Great Lakes invasion. Other than that, they have devastated any…
