MARINE GROWTH PREVENTION SYSTEM AIM: To prevent fouling and growth of marine organisms in the pipe lines which are in contact with sea water. What is Marine Growth: Ships while sailing use seawater for several purposes. The seawater is used in the ship’s system and discharged after the use. However‚ seawater contains several marine organisms which enter the ship along with the seawater and deposit and flourish on the parts of the ship’s system. If preventive

A Marine Biologist Marine biology is an ideal profession for me because of my love for the ocean and my passion for sharks. A marine biologist studies all types of sea life and can specialize in studying large ocean animals. Since the release of the 1975 movie “Jaws;” I was captivated by this majestic species. I have always felt a kindred spirit with sharks and want to be part of a solution to change the general population’s perception of sharks. A marine biology education provides me with the

Marine Biologist The field of marine biology -- the study of marine organisms‚ their behaviors‚ and their interactions with the environment -- is considered one of the most all-encompassing fields of oceanography. This field requires the ability to understand marine organisms and their behaviors. A marine biologist must have a basic understanding of other aspects or views of oceanography‚ such as chemical oceanography‚ physical oceanography‚ and geological oceanography. Therefore‚ marine biologists

How Humans Impact Marine Ecosystems Earth consists of many complex organisms that share and benefit from all of what the world has to offer. Conservation and protection of marine life is becoming more significant as humans better understand the importance of the oceans and how people have an affect on them. Just as people treasure and protect areas of land it is just important to treasure and keep the oceans safe. Marine life is becoming increasingly damaged because of threats from human activity

A Career in Marine Mammal Science Many people want to become involved with marine mammals such as sea otters‚ dolphins‚ seals‚ manatees‚ or whales. Perhaps such interest has been sparked by Flipper the dolphin on television or Keiko the orca whale in the popular movie‚ Free Willy. Interest in marine mammals has also been generated by the many underwater movies publicly pleading for protection of endangered whales. Others are just simply scientifically curious. At any rate‚ there are many reasons

MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY: A DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FUTURE Biotechnology ’s first impacts occurred on a terrestrial level‚ but "there ’s an end to the diversity of terrestrial life. And if you go back and ask a fundamental question: Where on earth does the biodiversity reside‚ you realize it is the ocean (William Fenical‚ Scripps Institution)." Marine biotechnology is defined as "the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by marine biological agents to provide

Marine archaeologists can use topographic data‚ specifically in a marine chart‚ to analyze the site of a sunken ship. As charts include the data of the ocean floor along with one’s outlines of courses and positions‚ they should aid any mariner in avoiding potential hazards at sea ("What Is a"). For marine archaeologists‚ it familiarizes them to the seafloor of their site‚ hopefully encouraging them to carefully plan out their survey and excavation of the site. Though not only should archaeologists

life and have no freedom whatsoever? Life for captive marine animals is nothing like life in the ocean. They have lost a lot in order to fulfil the entertainment we so called get from watching them perform and getting abused in the environments they are put in. Marine animals held in captivity should be illegal‚ because they are wild animals who are being mistreated by us‚ suffer horribly everyday‚ and are being kept in tiny places. Many marine life animals have been captured from their habits and
