World Ocean

Sabrina Copple Mrs. Doll Hon Bio 1 28 April 2017 Saltwater Biome The saltwater biome is the biggest biome in the world (“Marine” 1). Although there are many biomes on Earth, what makes this biome unique? The climate, flora, fauna, and location of the biome is what makes this biome special. There are other things that make this biome unique too. The saltwater biome is partially responsible for the invention of salt water taffy, along with a natural disaster that helped with the making of…

our world. The topic that is being talked about is the trash in the sea, and how it is affecting the environment. The trash in the ocean is causing much marine life to be ether harmed or even worse killed. One of the main things that is causing this is plastic. In todays time plastic is used for everything it is used in our drinking bottles and all the way down to the soap we use to wash our bodies. Because of these things not being properly disposed of it is finding its way back to the ocean…

A look beneath Marine biology has peaked my interest with its overwhelming amount of things to study. The ocean, along with other bodies of water, are a marine biologist’s playground. Not only do they study fish, but the quality of the water, the plants, the wavelength periods, acidity, and many more aspects. However, to become a marine biologist one must have a Bachelor of Science degree in marine biology, this includes classes such as biology I and II, general chemistry I and II,…

summarizing are the Indiana River Lagoon: What went wrong (Dead Zone) and Is Sustainable-Labeled Seafood Really Sustainable. The Sustainable Seafood article really interest me because I love to eat seafood and I want to protect the resources of the ocean so that the next generation can enjoy its bounty as well. It really upset me to know that Marine Stewardship Council is mislabeling products causing prices fluctuate. Although the MSC is a non-profit organization I believe that they are…

The effects of climate change are felt across the world with temperatures rising and snow and ice being less apparent in colder countries. The effects of climate change are prominent on the outside, however, what many people fail to realize is that it affects the ocean too, temperatures are rising and not only that but the ocean chemistry is changing as well due to increased amounts of carbon dioxide dissolving into the ocean. This leads to several complications in the coral reef ecosystems. The…

most often is the ocean. This is because the ocean is restorative. The quiet roar of the waves, the sound of seagulls chirping, the salty breeze, the ocean is a place of peace. For many the sea is not just a vacation destination, but the sea is a friend. Something that is consistent, and always listening. This is the case for our friend Lettie Hempstock’s pond in Neil Gaiman’s novel “The Ocean at the End of the Lane” Lettie takes great pride in her pond; to her, it’s an ocean. Not many others…

that is being thrown in the ocean every minute of every hour of every day. I chose this topic because of the scale of this problem and the speed this problem is growing with. It is a global problem that affects the ocean plants & creatures that live there. So I’ve made a research to tell you about this issue. (Weule) Besides the significant damage it cause to the environment and fauna it affects us directly as well. Today I’m going to tell you why the plastic in the ocean is a bigger problem…

The oceans are the largest part of the earth, and has a very large population of various important species, who we humans depend on. However over the last couple of years humans existence have badly effected the ocean and has made it a difficult place to love for many species. Ocean pollution is on of the major problems, is massive spreading of harmful substances in the ocean. Some of the substances that have been found include, “oil, plastic, industrial and agricultural waste and chemical…

point eight million metric tons, which equals 10.5 billion pounds. That is the approximate amount of plastic currently in the ocean. A ludicrous amount of plastic and other human-made materials can be found floating through the ocean, disturbing sea life and making a drastic impact on the planet. After years of human interaction with the ocean, the negative effect on both the ocean and people themselves is starting to show and hopefully an opportunity to reverse the damage remains. Human…
