You’ll be able to see the ocean as Kelly does in the video. So by understanding the meaning and message behind the video you can see just how well the…

the Atlantic Ocean has fallen due to environmentally damaging factors, however fishing in the Alaskan region has maintained its less contaminated waters and tried to keep a balance on the amount of fishes taken out of the water vs the amount still in the water and able to reproduce. One of the biggest factors that pose a threat to the fishing industry in the environment and the sanctions being imposed by governments…

by up to 60cm by 2100 in response to ocean temperature rising and glacier and ice caps melting. There are two main factors that lead to global warming, firstly thermal expansion of seawater and secondly water mas input from land ice melting. Ocean temperature data collected has shown a significant increase during the second half of the 20th century. Thermal expansion accounts for 25% of the observed sea level rise since 1969 and 50% from 1993 to 2003. The worlds glaciers have been shrinking at…

Ocean pollution is one of the worlds worst types of pollution. What can we do to stop it? Imagine drifting through the sea, looking down and seeing the vast ocean full of trash and dead fish all the way to the horizon. The smell of death fills the air as a large wave, full of garbage, comes crashing down towards you and your boat. Sadly this is not the future, nor an imaginary place, it is the world we live in today. This place I describe is called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is…

Meghan Hahn Mr. Polk Honors English 10 16 December 2014 Working to Reduce Marine Pollution “You wouldn 't think you could kill an ocean, would you? But we 'll do it one day. That 's how negligent we are” Ian Rankin once wrote in his book Blood Hunt. All the time people neglect the ocean without even thinking about it and this must change for the good of people as well as plants, animals, and the environment. Marine pollution is a global problem and people contribute very much to the matter.…

Ocean Pollution Have you ever thought where all of that extra trash goes? Or where do they take the trash to? Well here is where they put it, in the ocean.This action affects Marine life very seriously. And it affects humans to. Whatever the fish eats, your eating too. Ocean pollution is when, us humans, dump billions of trash into the ocean. We dump trash into the ocean without even thinking about it twice. We think that it will dissolve into the ocean. But really, it is being eaten by the…

is eventually going to affect our every day lives as human beings, and how creating laws to stop overfishing will eliminate this issue all together. I did not grow up on a beach town, but my family and I love spending time in the sea. I love the ocean, and could not imagine what my life would be without it. It has played a huge role in my life since I was about 7 years old. My family and I vacation at least once a year, and I am a very competitive surfer, but I also like to swim, scuba dive,…

“Dreamer” Analysis Throughout the poem, Dorothy Rose talks about her dream, which takes place in the ocean. Rose describes how the ocean is comforting to her and relaxing; however, four simple words can bring the happiness of a stress-free life crashing down. In “Dreamer,” the writer uses similes, personification and tone to indicate that dreams give people the opportunity to revisit their carefree moments in life. Rose uses a simile in her poem to show the reader how free and happy she feels…

and frequent extreme weather Another aspect proving climate change’s existence is the increase in ocean acidification. Increased carbon dioxide in the air is causing rapid ocean acidification to occur. Ocean acidification is when carbon dioxide is absorbed by seawater and reduces the seawater’s pH level and since the industrial revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by 30%. Ocean acidification is dangerous because in more acidic waters, calcium carbonate is more difficult…

in the worlds oceans and large lakes. Hypoxic areas are places that fail to meet the required percentage of oxygen needed for human life. Activities such as littering in the small lakes and ponds can cause dangerous pollution. When oil is released into the water, that can cause an overgrowth in algae which will dissolve to the bottom. They are caused by excessive nutrient pollution from human activities. These activities cause less oxygen or life for marine life at the bottom of the ocean.…
