for daily materials‚ oceans are becoming more and more polluted; in addition‚ result to damaging effects on marine life. The ocean appears to be a large trash can for disposing waste in the convenience for humans. According to UNESCO‚ statistics show that in 2006‚ 46‚000 plastic materials were found scattered every square mile in the ocean; in addition to that statistic‚ millions of marine animals are severely injured or even fatal from plastic materials [1]. A statistic had shown that millions upon

Large pieces of plastic‚ such as bags‚ six pack rings‚ and many other things have trapped‚ suffocated‚ or left marine life in critical conditions. Plastic waste has the potential to last thousands of years before decomposing; however‚ not only is it dirtying our oceans‚ it is also serving as a home to many invasive species. These invasive species then harm the

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION‚ OBJECTIVES AND OUTLINE OF THE THESIS -49- -50- Abstract As marine environments are under increasing anthropogenic pressure‚ there is a need for decision support systems (DSSs) and management tools that allow to tackle some of the environmental problems associated with this pressure and to allocate the different uses in a sustainable way. Most marine management tools are built around the Driver-Pressure-StateImpact-Response (DPSIR) framework‚ where indicators

Over millions of years‚ the ocean’s marine species have developed into what they are today‚ with their own specialized acute hearing abilities‚ communication skills and echo location abilities at natural sound levels. Hearing is generally as important to many marine creatures as sight is for humans. The oceans once referred to as the "The Silent World" by Jacques Cousteau‚ has now become an increasingly

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

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
