Sea animals that live close to the surface of the ocean receive detrimental intensities of UV radiation since they are so exposed in the location in which they live. For example, the sea urchins’ cellular division in eggs are mutated or damaged because of the UV radiation (“Some Effects”). They are not the only ones, however. Fish larvae tend to be near the surface as well and have no protection against UV radiation, which can affect growth…

The United States of America, known as the land of the free, has many civil rights that our founding fathers and other influential figures have fought for. However, the freedoms that citizens value today is another story. In the past, Americans fought for the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to vote, just to name a few.

In reality besides the waste that goes in there’s actually acidification in our waters. Acidification is when the ocean uptakes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, this also means the pH levels are lowering.

For example, the cloning process in today’s era produces similar results to Brave New World. Although not quite there to human cloning, scientific researchers have “successfully cloned sea urchins” which is a huge step towards the cloning process of people (Larson).
