Fishing for Fun The sun was hid above the foggy ocean clouds at late-morning and the eerie ocean mist surrounded the boat. I glanced upon the vast deep blue ocean and heard the siren like wails of the seagulls flying overhead‚ following us‚ hoping to feast their eyes upon a fish. I was not feeling well and I had the desire to end this odyssey. As I was waited‚ my eyes wondered‚ my mind and body grew weary of the rocking boat. Back and forth it swayed‚ making me more seasick. Every time I woke up

The Differences Between Sharks and Dolphins Sharks and dolphins are both ocean creatures. From afar they look alike but are contrasting ocean creatures. One of the main allusions is that they are the same type of creature‚ but a shark is a fish while a dolphin is a mammal. Because sharks are fish‚ they are cold blooded‚ and because dolphins are mammals they are warm blooded. Dolphins have blow holes and can only stay under water for up to seven to twelve minutes.

An open ocean pen allows the orcas to be in that ocean environment and not in a tank at Sea World; this is a bad idea for so many reasons. Because the orcas were fed by the trainers their whole lives‚ they never learned the how to hunt. This means that if you were to just drop them back into the wild they would probably starve. Also‚ the whales are so used to perfect water temperature and perfect water quality; you can’t put them in the ocean they would have no idea how to

wonderful experience. During the day‚ the ocean/sea was as blue as the sky on a nice day. As I looked down into the ocean I saw my reflection as if I were looking upon a mirror. I find that when looking upon the ocean and watching the waves interact with one another‚ it’s a reminder of how the human body functions on a daily basis.
