So if the coral bleaching will not be resolved the extinction of the GBR might cause a serious environmental problem. Let’s take a look at the Great Barrier Reef food chain picture. If the marine algae will become extinct with the corals then the plankton‚ the giant clam and the krill won’t have enough food‚ which leads to the decrease of humpback whales‚ whale sharks‚ box jellyfish and clown fish and the food chain balance gets interrupted. (Environment.gov.au‚ 2016) Conclusion: The GBR is over

Anyone unfamiliar with the biology of the venomous Portuguese man-of-war would likely mistake it for a jellyfish. Not only is it not a jellyfish‚ it’s not even an "it‚" but a "they." The Portuguese man-of-war is a siphonophore‚ an animal made up of a colony of organisms working together. The man-of-war comprises four separate polyps. It gets its name from the uppermost polyp‚ a gas-filled bladder‚ or pneumatophore‚ which sits above the water and somewhat resembles an old warship at full sail.

Lake Granby is located in the Rocky Mountains in what is known as the Middle Park. The climate can be described as subartic due to its low humidity and long winter season. The average low temperature is 21.1 degrees Fahrenheit‚ and the average high is 51.1 degrees Fahrenheit. Precipitation comes mainly in the form of snow‚ with the total amount around 14.2 inches. The town of Granby is the nearest to Lake Granby. The lake itself is right up against the hills of the mountains‚ while the town sits

On the other end of the spectrum‚ there is the tropic regions that have an increase in water from storms. However‚ this increase of water might sound like a benefit‚ but many of the times this increase of water means that crops will be flooded‚ homes are destroyed and water supplies are containment from the overflow of sewers and fertilized fields. A higher frequency in storms cause much more stagnant water to occur‚ which can result in an increased mosquito population‚ and the increased risk of

ocean strangles the food chain‚ and marine wildlife like dolphins‚ fish‚ and sea turtles have been found with plastic six-pack rings around their necks. (Figure 1.1) Microscopic pieces of plastic are drifting like fish food throughout the water‚ mimicking plankton which is a food supply of most aquatic life (McLaughlin 2008). A very shocking stat I found was that after a quick calculation that estimated the debris at half a pound for every hundred square meters of sea surface‚ then multiplied by the circular

Solutions to Plastic Pollution in our Oceans The Basics We ’re treating the oceans like a trash bin: around 80 percent of marine litter originates on land‚ and most of that is plastic. Plastic that pollutes our oceans and waterways has severe impacts on our environment and our economy. Seabirds‚ whales‚ sea turtles and other marine life are eating marine plastic pollution and dying from choking‚ intestinal blockage and starvation. Scientists are investigating the long-term impacts of toxic pollutants
