with diverse habitats provides a conservation area for mammals‚ insects‚ amphibians‚ reptiles and over 380 species of birds‚ some of which are highly endangered. During the field trip‚ we visited five different habitats‚ including fishponds‚ mangroves‚ reedbeds‚ freshwater ponds‚ gei wai(tidal shrimp ponds) and mudflat. The trip not only helped us understand more on how organisms interdependent and interact with their physical environment to form an ecosystem‚ but also allowed us learn about how

Abstract The Seeds of Mung bean‚ wheat‚ and silver beet were tested in environments of differing salinities to note down if high salinity environments were worse for the seeds. It was found that generally lower concentrations were better for germination then higher concentrations. Despite this‚ the hypothesis was not completely supported as in wheat and silver beet the second concentration had a higher rate of germination than the control and in all instances the highest concentration had a higher

Topic: Industrialization Polluting the Earth The natural conditions of land‚ air and water and everything in them are called environment and they play an important role in the survival of humans and every other animal species in it. In 2005 MEA evaluated the health of Earth’s forests‚ coastlines‚ inland waters‚ shrub lands‚ dry lands‚ deserts‚ agricultural lands‚ and other ecosystems vital to human health and welfare. The forest provides food‚ shelter and other needs for many terrestrial animals

that you are required to know‚ for example; the 100 slip marina did not went as originally planned‚ they have a 52 slip marina. As discussed‚ there were loss and decline of natural resources. Salt Pond was destroyed along with the mangroves. There are a few red mangroves‚ they were left there more for decoration of the beach than really a nesting and nursery area for the juvenile fishes. The death of the sea grass follow by the death of coral reefs. Many turtles died in the process. The turtles were

People usually ignore the trees that line the coastline because they don’t grow fruits or nuts and they are not ideal for shade or breeze. But what mangroves offer surpasses what they do not. Mangroves are good protection from storm waves. The Mangroves naturally protects animals and humans that live on the coast from storm waves. When hurricane Keith battered through one

Reflective Critical Report In a one and a half hour PowerPoint lecture titled “Loss of biodiversity and ecosystem balance” by Professor Dale F. Webber the importance of biodiversity in our ecosystem was explained and an even more detailed observation of the major threats to the biodiversity were highlighted. Of the twenty four top causes‚ climate change‚ environmental degradation‚ conservation issues and exploitation of energy reserves were deemed the most contributing. With the exception

manage biodiversity (14) Mangroves are essential to marine‚ freshwater and terrestrial biodiversity‚ because they stabilise coastlines against erosion‚ collect sediments and provide a nursery for coastal fish. However‚ mangroves are at threat; over 50% of the world’s original mangrove forests have been lost. This has been due to many factors such as‚ shrimp farming‚ climate change‚ over-harvesting etc. As a result‚ there are many players who are trying to halt the loss of mangroves to protect and restore

Key words ; Aquatic flora – pulicat lake – Microphytes – Macrophytes Introduction Pulicat lake derived its name from a vernacular name ‘Palaverkadu’ means plants with many number of roots. Those plants are mangroves with aerial roots called Pneumatophores. The word mangrove is considered to be a combination of the Portuguese word “Mangue” and English Word “Grove”. These are salt tolerant plants and are rich in this area and might be the reason for that name. The lake harbours rich and
