Country: Mexico Topic: Marine Protection and Biodiversity The oceans cover 70% of the planet’s surface area‚ and marine and coastal environments contain diverse habitats that support an abundance of marine life. Especially Mexico‚ where is bordered on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; on the southeast by the Caribbean Sea; and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico. The sustainability of our biosphere significantly relies on the goods and services provided by deep-sea ecosystems. Biodiversity

The fact that 95% of our sea is unexplored has always fascinated me. We use water in everyday life and without it there would be no life on Earth‚ yet we know so little about it. Both my academic and personal life has developed my interest in marine biology. My interest in wildlife and outdoor work drove me to successfully apply for the post of volunteer assistant at Washington Wetlands centre‚ I started in January 2013 and attend at least once a week. Hand rearing Chilean flamingos involved syringe

1. Describe why fishing has changed at Apo Island‚ and the direct and indirect effects on people’s lives. Thirty years ago‚ Apo Island faced a catastrophic decline in the seafood. This decline was linked to rapid population growth combined with destructive fishing methods such as dynamite or cyanide fishing‚ small gill nets‚ deep-sea trawling‚ and muroami. Scientists from a nearby island collaborated with Apo locals to devise a plan to reestablish the fish supply. With the implementation of the

With the rising height of the sea level the culture that exists on the coast will begin to change‚ or cease to exist. The Disappearing shoreline is a warning to us and if we cannot fix the situation then we must engage it‚ we must adapt. Change within our society needs to occur‚ we are not trying to fix the problem‚ which has always been the argument but we must now adapt‚ we must now engage what is going to occur instead of trying to hide it or running away from the truth physical and psychologically

Hello‚ students of River Islands‚ Mrs. Kendrick‚ opposing and supporting gents. and ladies of River Islands‚ for the past few days I have been gathering evidence‚ a claim‚ and researching on why we need to stop‚ major sea exploration. For in response to any who try to convince me otherwise for the exploration of the sea is no‚ for if you are to go the depths of the sea imagine the negatives of exploring the ocean like‚ the risks of illness‚ the wasting of resources with ‚the population of trash

Companies in the oil and gas industry face many risks ranging from political risks to supply and demand risks. However‚ oil companies involved in offshore drilling are subject to even more risks. There is no way of avoiding these risks‚ therefore these companies must address them in hopes of minimizing the effects related to a mishap resulting from one of these risks. The process of offshore drilling starts with verifying the exact location of oil reserves. Solid petroleum deposits often take the

I think countries should be able to own parts of the ocean. I think they should because if they didn’t own it random people could be downing random and potentially harmful things. If countries didn’t own water‚ there wouldn’t be laws for those areas. The countries if they wanted too could build something on that part of water that could help people of the organisms in the water. If countries didn’t own water anything could happen. To understand the ocean’s ecosystem better you first need to know

Carrillo 1 The Life Cycle of a Sea Star Between birth and death‚ a sea stars life follows a cycle of development‚ adulthood‚ and eventually parenthood. It is the cycle that produces new sea stars and keeps populations balance. Sea stars begin their lives as tiny larvae that look nothing like the adult sea stars. The larvae have different shaped bodies with many projecting arms. “It looks more like a blob of jelly” (Perry 46). Sea star larvae develop in open water and immediately become

Rising Sea Levels: The Impact Introduction Gradual increase in temperature known as climate change is causing icebergs to melt and therefore‚ increasing sea levels‚ this is basic known fact but what might not be as clear is the effect of rising sea levels on the environment. Amongst the vast variety of issues to do with climate change‚ its impact on the ocean stood out for me. After I researched the impact of climate change on the ocean‚ I found that the topic was too broad; therefore I decided
