Endangered Marine Species Topic: Marine mammal extinction and endangered species. Specific Purpose: To inform my audience of the causes‚ protection programs and possibilities for future protection for endangered species. Thesis: Endangered marine animals are in need of protection and awareness; many people need to understand the origins of endangerment‚ what animals are being affected and what is already being done to help our marine life. Introduction I. Have you ever thought about how important

What is Marine Ecology? Marine Ecology is the scientific study of marine-life habitat‚ populations‚ and interactions among organisms and the surrounding environment including their abiotic (non-living physical and chemical factors that affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce) and biotic factors (living things or the materials that directly or indirectly affect an organism in its environment). Marine ecology is a subset of the study of marine biology and includes observations at

following questions completely using your results from the activity‚ as well as what you have learned in the lesson: 1. Identify the roles (producer‚ primary consumer‚ secondary consumer‚ or decomposer) of the hare and the wolf in the simulated ecosystem. Explain your answers in complete sentences. Hare: The hare is the primary consumer as it eats grass and plants. It doesn’t eat other consumers‚ making it a primary consumer. Wolf: The wolf is a secondary consumer as it continues eating/killing

Section 1: The definition of marine protected area varies with people‚ and in reality‚ it is a term used globally to describe an area of sea especially dedicated to the protection‚ coupled with maintenance of biological diversity‚ and of natural and associated cultural resources‚ and managed or reserved by legal or other effective means to protect part or all of the enclosed environment. In the U.S.‚ MPAs span a range of habitats including the open ocean‚ coastal areas‚ inter-tidal zones and estuaries;

Often when thinking of a what a Marine Biologist career consists of we think of the trainers at aquariums‚ and watching trained whales‚ dolphins or porpoises leaping through the air from crystal blue pool. There is so much more to being a Marine Biologist. Marine biology is a very important job because the ocean covers 71% of the earth and humans need to learn about the environment and how we can stop pollution (Jule Haydon). The majority of the earth consists of oceans‚ which means the majority

specifically‚ which are a top rank predator. Killing these animals in this way prevents us from being able to harvest them and can change the ecosystem depending on the fish. The next destructive is the Stern Trawling. This is destructive due to the method of capture‚ in the sea for long periods of time. While this might seem beneficial as it can catch more fish‚ it may catch sea mammals or endangered creatures that aren’t intended for capture. It has a low accuracy of the specific creature to be

the fish species by destroying their homes. Overexploitation is a huge risk‚ and this became very evident when the wolf population in Yellowstone was wiped out. Every wolf was hunted and killed in Yellowstone‚ and once the wolves were gone‚ the ecosystem became very unbalanced and many species started to either die out or be overpopulated. As for methods to help sustain species‚ core reserves and wildlife corridors are very effective methods. Core reserves are natural areas for organisms away from

ECOSYSTEMS AT RISK – CASE STUDY 2 PART 1: CORAL REEFS – OVERVIEW Coral reefs are often referred to as “the rainforests of the sea” because of they form some of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. Its massive structure is formed from coral polyps (tiny animals that live in colonies) that support approximately 25% of all known marine species by providing essential habitats. Factors affecting reef development and survival include temperature‚ light‚ sedimentation and salinity of the water. Without
