The Great Barrier Reef is the largest biological organism in the world‚ the balanced ecology of the Great Barrier Reef is very vulnerable to even the smallest human influence. The range‚ frequency and the scale of human impacts on coral reefs are building to the extent that reefs are threatened globally. Pollution‚ global warming and over-fishing

For presenting problems one and two Johnny needs to identify the triggers that started his substance abuse‚ as well as use these triggers to assist in maintaining sobriety and curbing cravings. Ecological theory was applied to these problems. “Ecology means….study of the living conditions of organisms in interaction with each other and with the surroundings…social work…has expressed purpose in fostering healthy and independent transactions between persons and their environment” (Ungar‚ 2002‚ p. 481)

2.3.2. Categories of containers found around human habitations The breeding containers for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus can be found in and around human habitations (Nazri et al.‚ 2013). Water quality is the key aspect for larval breeding habitat (Nazri et al.‚ 2013). As a result‚ it can be found in variability of habitations either with fresh water‚ salty water or any clear water‚ muddled or unclean except in marine habitat life which has high concentrations of salt (Saleeza & Azirun‚ 2011).
