availability for desalination technology has been highly evaluated, why do some people oppose it? There are two objections against desalination technology. First, the process of desalinating seawater uses a lot of fossil fuel energy, so the cost management becomes very expensive, and it also increases greenhouse gas emissions. However, using renewable energy, which can be classified as solar, wind, photovoltaic, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower, has the potential for reducing the energy costs…

Virginia. Nearly 17 million people living in areas that feed into the Chesapeake Bay watershed and affect the Bay water quality. The Bay plays a very important role in Maryland and Virginia economy, providing economic resources which include: crabs, oysters and rockfish, as well as recreational activities in and around the water. Due to the increased amount of pollution in the water, the population of wildlife as well…

after the land so it the same or better for the next generations. To do this we use energy from renewable sources they include solar panels and hydroelectricity. To get water in a sustainable way we can use desalination plants which take the salt out of sea water we will also need to be more conservative when it comes to using water. We also need to have clean unpolluted air to have unpolluted air we will need more trees and contribute less to global warming to do this we need to use less cars,…

Mangroves are the typical coastal ecosystems stand out as a distinct forest type at the interface between terrestrial, estuarine, and near-shore marine ecosystems, where sea water and fresh water mixes and creates the favorable salinity condition for the mangrove species to grow. Mangroves have special adaptability to grow in such harsh environment; also, it provides massive ecosystem services to the coastal communities (Yusuke et al, 2012). However, mangrove species are increasingly threatened…
