    The other species I am focusing on are brown barnacles. Brown barnacles are marine crustaceans and have hexagon shaped shells with an animal living inside it. They are sessile organisms meaning they are fixed in one place on the rocky shore. They are usually found at high tide zones on rocks on rocky shores. According to the data collected from the field trip on the 9th of March 2016, 19% of the brown barnacles of the brown barnacles were found at high tide zones, 6% at mid tide zones and only 1% at low tide zones. Therefore a high majority of brown barnacles live at high tide zones. Brown barnacles usually live at higher tide zones so that they can be further away from their predators such as oyster borers. Brown barnacles are sessile organisms,…

    Boat of Ethics

    Ecology, most simply put, is "the study of relationships between organisms and their environment". (Encyclopedia Britannica) Garrett Hardin, writer of the essay Lifeboat Ethics: The Case against Helping the Poor was a professor of human ecology at the University of California at Santa Barbara and had some extremely harsh opinions about the solution to global population issues. As a professor of human ecology, Hardin studied the relationship between humans and their environment, and in this case the entire globe. It is a well known fact that environmental degradations, unequal wealth distribution and exponential population growth are growing problems in the world, and in his essay, Hardin explains that there are relatively simple solutions to these problems. While Hardin's solutions to the interconnected global environment, economic and population problems are harsh and potentially immoral, Hardin convinced me they are the only solutions to a growing global issue.…
