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

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

It was thought that the ocean was so deep and huge that no matter how much garbage you put into it would have small consequences. As we have seen that is very wrong‚ here are a few of the problems ocean pollution cause: Toxic metals can destroy the biochemistry‚ behavior‚ and reproduction of marine life.

Being at the right place at the right time for any member of the Armed forces is extremely essential to the defense of the entire United States of America. It’s because of this that being on time is remarkably important. Dependability‚ accountability‚ consistency and discipline are all crucially important for all members of the armed forces. Being on time shows that a Marine is dependable and has his

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
