Trashed: Our Ocean By: Meaghan Todd December 10th 2010 CGW-4U1-02 Mr. Kyriacou Have you ever been to the beach? I have and swimming in the ocean is one of my favourite things to do when I go on vacation! You wouldn’t want someone to come into your house and throw their cigarette butts or their plastic drink container on your kitchen floor when they’re done would you? I know I wouldn’t. Littering in the ocean does not magically get rid of your garbage; the marine wildlife

Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has a Coral Bleaching Response Plan for detecting and responding to coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. What is coral bleaching Many types of coral have a special symbiotic relationship with a tiny marine algae (zooxanthallae) that live inside corals’ tissue and are very efficient food producers that provide up to 90 per cent of the energy corals require to grow and reproduce. Coral bleaching occurs when the relationship between the coral host and zooxanthallae

as the quote states. This paper on a pond water sample from Clare Co. will help to better understand the organisms inside‚ and the different conditions in which these organisms flourish. The hypothesis for this paper is “If algae prefer a higher pH level‚ then the number of algae will increase with pH.” Taking a closer look at the pond water sample‚ it becomes clear that the pond water sample contains many micro organisms. These organisms are what provide the oxygen and food for other aquatic organisms

Cabulig River is bounded by Upper Jasaan and Bobontugan. The people will cross the river using bangka or bamboo boat. People living there make use of the river as their bathing area and for washing the clothes. The Table 1 shows the phytoplankton species per station in Cabulig River. With a population density of 583 species per millilitres‚ there were twenty (20) phytoplankton species found in Cabulig River. There are seven (7) orders in the class Bascillariophyceae. Three (3) of which belongs order

(Schindler‚ David and Vallentyne‚ John R. 2004)Most people don’ t really know about it‚ so I’m writing this essay to tell some facts about two major causes‚ the bad effect in my country – China and the prevention and reversal and how can the algae be used to make more benefit to the world and people who live on it. The two major causes of eutrophication are excess nitrates and excess phosphates in water. (e-How Jul 05‚ 2012)Many farmers use fertilizers to make their plants grow better‚ but

The idea of an ocean’s surface with a red hue may seem like a very amazing phenomena but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Red tides are becoming more and more harmful to not just the sea life it’s consumes but to us humans as well. When we use pesticides and other man made chemicals‚ we are washing them away without a care of what happens next. In doing so‚ they are eventually ending up back into our oceans and cause these harmful algal blooms‚ known as Red Tide. Most of these algal blooms are toxic

Another reason Lake Erie’s water is polluted is due to toxins. First‚ there is a lot of bacteria entering Lake Erie. A few years ago much of Lake Erie was very contaminated with dangerous toxins from algae: “In 2011‚ bright green slime spread across one-third of Lake Erie. The slime was a harmful algal bloom‚ caused by cyanobacteria” (Kowalski 34). As a result of Lake Erie being polluted people must find the issue and resolve it. One theory of the pollution in Lake Erie is that the species are not

macroalgal groupings: Rhodophyta‚ Chlorophyta‚ and Heterokontophyta. Rhodophyta‚ or red algae‚ is a relatively uniform group that is generally characterized by red pigments and a lack of motile cells (Chapman 1964‚ Drew 1951‚ Trainor 1978‚ Solomon et al. 2008). The cell walls of Rhodophyta are commercially important in the production of gelling agents (Trainor 1978‚ Solomon et al. 2008). Chlorophyta‚ or green algae‚ contain pigments that are nearly identical to those of higher plants‚ use starch as
