warning to people about the dangers the human race poses towards ocean life. Cousteau was able to make a book like this because his career involved being both an explorer and an activist. Besides that‚ in his lifetime‚ he made documentaries linked to marine science. Schiefelbein helped Cousteau with his documentary work and currently works as an environmental activist. With these attributes given to the authors‚ I expected an exceptional story—and was not disappointed. As I’ve stated before‚ the book

this means 400-850 cetaceans are caught each year in the Irish Sea and Celtic Sea (17). When you look at the history for marine conservation‚ we have been lacking on many occasions (8). Man causes the biggest impact to marine food-stocks‚ higher than any other animal (8). If we are to continue to extract resources from the sea‚ we need to look at the consequences caused to marine life. Annually‚ 360‚000 cetaceans are killed each year by fishing gear‚ whether that be the fish net itself or propellers

Career * I have decided to become a marine biologist after leaving from Magruder High School and graduating from college. A marine biologist studies the marine ecosystem and aquatic life. A marine biologist helps understand the balance between humanity and the oceans. Marine biologists also frequently explore the deep depths of the oceans and waterways we live in‚ discovering new plant and aquatic species. * The prospects of getting a job as a marine biologist are very competitive unless a

Marine biology is a diverse science concerned with all aspects of plant and animal life in the sea. Marine biologists study the distribution‚ abundance and life histories of animals and plants in the sea and the way in which these are governed by environmental factors. The eventual aim of marine biology is to understand marine life and to ensure the production of food from the sea at a sustained level. The field of marine biology can be divided into research and technical work: Researchers

allow the seal harvest to continue as seal harvesting is essential in the prevention of suffering and torment of all marine life and humans. For instance‚ without the process of seal harvesting‚ the ecosystem will be out of balance‚ resulting in complete chaos. Researchers estimated that seals consumed about 3.5 million metric tonnes of marine species in Atlantic Canada‚ and marine animals that are preys of seals such as salmon are in a great decline in population in the past years. Therefore‚ the

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION‚ OBJECTIVES AND OUTLINE OF THE THESIS -49- -50- Abstract As marine environments are under increasing anthropogenic pressure‚ there is a need for decision support systems (DSSs) and management tools that allow to tackle some of the environmental problems associated with this pressure and to allocate the different uses in a sustainable way. Most marine management tools are built around the Driver-Pressure-StateImpact-Response (DPSIR) framework‚ where indicators
