Sword fishing is a multi-million dollar industry in the north east, and for such a poor area like Gloucester, it draws men from all over to participate.…

Joe tried to do just that. As I went in to poke my large, pointed nose into the man’s skiff, a Portuguese man-of-war came along. I panicked and quickly let go of the bait and instead of drowning the man hid under the cover of his small and powerless boat. The jellyfish left and I began to taunt the man once more. Two days had passed and the man showed no sign of giving up but only sign of pushing forward. I started to fear that the man would win. He still did not know how gigantic and masculine…

Then salmon populations crashed, and this year for the first time U.S. officials canceled all ocean salmon fishing off California and most of Oregon”(Tucker).

The results to this experiment means that the more C02 boster we added to the tank the fish died faster and the C02 booster was replaced to act as the pollution , so in other words if there is many pollution in the ocean the fish and other living organisms in the ocean will have the chance to die faster . According to the results me and my group’s hypothesis was supported/was proven correct , the fish in the tank that was exposed to the most C02 died faster .The fish that were exposed to the…

At first, the Aral sea was a very plentiful hotspot for boating and fishing. Throughout the years, the sea has been decreased in size by 90 percent leaving a much smaller body of water very high in salinity.

The big question was, “How did it happen?” this is easily answered by “the impact of humans. Without…
