The Ocean matters. The coral reef is a home to more than 3‚000 species of fish‚ 700 species of hard coral and around 100 other species. Scientists say that there could be 1-8 million undercovered species. If not protected all these species have nowhere to go and the undiscovered species will likely not be discovered. We cannot let these species die a whole ecosystem will be lost. Ocean Conservancy was created in 1972‚ they offer 2‚300‚000 jobs to people. Over the 25 years the organization was

Blue oceans mean that one industry has not existed in the world. This is an unknown market space in the industry. In the market space‚ there has no competition or just a little competition. In blue oceans strategy‚ market demands come from innovation rather than fierce competitions. From the perspective of company‚ Blue ocean strategy

The Atlantic Ocean is a little smaller than the Pacific Ocean. sharks are found in the Atlantic Ocean‚ which is near the gulf. A pretty cool fact I found is a mountain called the mid-Atlantic Ridge. Secondly‚ the Southern Ocean close to Antarctica. The arctic ocean is the habitat of the penguins we call Emperor penguins. the arctic ocean is five million square miles big to a depth of eight-teen thousand. The Atlantic Ocean runs 32 million square miles‚ the arctic ocean is five million square miles

Ocean OverfishingNicole HarrisENV/320June 23‚ 2014Frederick GrossOcean Overfishing Overfishing is a problem that occurs when fish are caught faster than they can reproduce. This is a problem that has been occurring for centuries and continues to be a problem today. Commercial fishing has driven many fish species to the brink of extinction. A scientific report done in 2003 estimates that industrial fishing “has reduced the number of large ocean fish to just 10-percent of their pre-industrial

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

“what is destroying the ocean?”. Well one of the many answers is microplastic. Microplastics are little pieces of plastic that are smaller than 5 millimeters. Microplastic is harming zooplankton in many ways ‚ but not only zooplankton a lot of other fish also in many ways. When people leave plastic on the ground it eventually makes its way to the ocean . Microplastics are thrown into the ocean by people which is causing fish to die. There is a lot of microplastic in the ocean which is a serious problem

Ocean acidification is the continuous reduction of the ocean’s pH‚ carbonate ion concentration‚ and saturation states of biological calcium carbonate minerals. Ocean acidification is caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. According to “Ocean Acidification: The Other CO2 Problem‚” after the industrial revolution‚ carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere has increased nearly 40%‚ primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation (Doney S. 2009).

decrease) in salinity around the equator? Could it not be argued that higher temperature causes more evaporation from the ocean surface‚ which‚ in turn‚ results in higher salinity content? Figure 9.4 shows how the surface temperature of the ocean and the surface salinity change with latitudinal position. Salinity the measure of the concentration of dissolved salts in the ocean water. Salinity influences where plants and animals can thrive‚ and also affects aspects of water quality and treatment
