Did you know that the frog species were the first animals with vocal cords? Did you know that seahorses are actually fish not little serpents or mermaids as legend tells us‚ and that it is the male who becomes pregnant‚ not the female? Did you know that an area of a rainforest the size of a football field is being destroyed each second? If not‚ then you should definitively consider making a visit to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Dramatic architecture and bright outdoor graphics invite you to

Overfishing in the Gulf of Mexico In recent years the fish and all the other marine animals that live in the Gulf have been affected by different natural disasters or disasters caused by us humans. For example‚ the most recent natural disaster that affected the lives of many marine animals in the Gulf was Hurricane Katrina in 2005‚ which caused the Gulf Coast entered the United States with lots of water and different types of animals from the gulf. This caused many fish to die and some to even become

This may allow us to see how the trash is affecting the animals in their habitats but can be disrupted if there is to high of a concentration of trash in the water. Marine biologists also use biostatistical programs and microcomputers to enter in information that tracks the animals. It can be shared with other scientists. While marine biologists and animal rescue

So when the opportunity arose‚ I took the chance to do my RAP on the waste polluting the Mehi River‚ because I know that the Mehi is a vital part of our ecosystem and I know that rivers are an important habitat for many animals. It is also a connection between us and the rest of the marine world. In the research action plan I will be assessing how

Introduction As of now the Earths ocean is home to over 230‚000 species of marine plants and animals. Today the oceans are at risk because of human activities. The main problem is climate change which leads to other problems within such as ocean acidification and pollution; these effects can all have an ever lasting impact on what’s in the ocean and what’s out. Paragraph 1: Climate Change (ocean acidification‚ CO2 ‚etc.) One of the main dangers of the oceans today is climate change

I think would benefit both sides is to fist cut down on some of the over fishing. I know this is a far fetched idea‚ but it could be of great benefit if some of the fishermen were taking on by some of the scientist as consultants of the ocean and marine life to help with their studies and reports. This would cut down on some of the over fishing as well as help the fishermen continue to provide for themselves and their family. I do not believe merely kicking fishermen out of parts of the ocean is

the Macondo site in the Florida panhandle and Tampa Bay. The oil and dispersed mixture embedded in the sand continued to kill dolphins and other marine life. (Pallardy‚ 2016) Oil spills can cause long-term environmental damage and can affect marine mammals‚ such as dolphins. Additional research is needed to understand the impact of oil spills on marine mammals in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil spills can last for decades after the spill has occurred. They can affect plants and animals from the oil itself

pollution has gotten worse. In the last few years like in 2008‚ global plastic consumptin has been estimated at 260 million tons. It is estimated that in the year 2015‚ 297.5 million tons of plastic debris will be in the water. Last year 150‚ 000 tons of marine plastic debris ended up on the shores of japan and 300 tons a day on indias coasts. What we have to accept is that plastic never goes away and harms the environment very badly. Think about the things used in peoples daily lives like grocery bags‚

face today it is a wonder that people consider saving these animals. Environmental conservatives and marine biologist are among the few people that are deeply concerned for these animals. Their concerns come from that the sea turtles demonstrate the ultimate lesson of ecology. The sea turtles link two vital ecosystems‚ beaches‚ and marine systems. Without the sea turtles‚ both the marine and beach ecosystems will weaken severely. This constant break down in the ecosystem causes a fast pacing

Although the original plan to explore the Lofthus‚ a Norwegian cruise ship that sank in 1898 about 200 yards off of the Boynton Beach coast‚ was thwarted by choppy seas‚ the children happily sailed to Boynton Bay‚ near the Boynton Inlet‚ to explore marine life beneath the glistening water. To many it was just another typical day in sunny South Florida‚ but to this group of camp goers it was an adventure into the deep blue that many had never experienced. The children were eager to get off the boats
