So when the opportunity arose‚ I took the chance to do my RAP on the waste polluting the Mehi River‚ because I know that the Mehi is a vital part of our ecosystem and I know that rivers are an important habitat for many animals. It is also a connection between us and the rest of the marine world. In the research action plan I will be assessing how

Specifically‚ an aquarium contains marine mammals‚ jellyfish‚ corals‚ and sharks including a number of other marine organisms. There is something interesting for a first time visitor to the aquarium which is most of the marine organisms live in communities. What are communities? A community‚ as Tom Garrison a scientist defines "community"‚ is made up of

Marine Mammals Marine mammals are a very diverse group. There are very diverse because of their shape‚ size‚ color and even the way they eat. Sea mammals are such a big group that they have only 120 species under the sea right now. Marine mammals evolved from their land dwelling ancestors. This means that all the marine mammals that we have now came from land mammals. Since they evolved from land dwellers‚ they got some of its traits or features. Marine mammals

I think would benefit both sides is to fist cut down on some of the over fishing. I know this is a far fetched idea‚ but it could be of great benefit if some of the fishermen were taking on by some of the scientist as consultants of the ocean and marine life to help with their studies and reports. This would cut down on some of the over fishing as well as help the fishermen continue to provide for themselves and their family. I do not believe merely kicking fishermen out of parts of the ocean is

the Macondo site in the Florida panhandle and Tampa Bay. The oil and dispersed mixture embedded in the sand continued to kill dolphins and other marine life. (Pallardy‚ 2016) Oil spills can cause long-term environmental damage and can affect marine mammals‚ such as dolphins. Additional research is needed to understand the impact of oil spills on marine mammals in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil spills can last for decades after the spill has occurred. They can affect plants and animals from the oil itself

Overfishing in the Gulf of Mexico In recent years the fish and all the other marine animals that live in the Gulf have been affected by different natural disasters or disasters caused by us humans. For example‚ the most recent natural disaster that affected the lives of many marine animals in the Gulf was Hurricane Katrina in 2005‚ which caused the Gulf Coast entered the United States with lots of water and different types of animals from the gulf. This caused many fish to die and some to even become

This may allow us to see how the trash is affecting the animals in their habitats but can be disrupted if there is to high of a concentration of trash in the water. Marine biologists also use biostatistical programs and microcomputers to enter in information that tracks the animals. It can be shared with other scientists.

Introduction Kane’ohe Bay is home to a variety of marine organisms. They bay itself is constantly being modified by a variety of factors. The bay is exposed to freshwater input from several streams‚ oceanic influences from water surges over the fringing reef and through the two access channels‚ and experiences terrestrial runoff from the nearshore areas. Input from the freshwater streams provides nutrients‚ sediment and other materials into the bay. Pollutants are added to the bay from terrestrial

It was thought that the ocean was so deep and huge that no matter how much garbage you put into it would have small consequences. As we have seen that is very wrong‚ here are a few of the problems ocean pollution cause: Toxic metals can destroy the biochemistry‚ behavior‚ and reproduction of marine life. Fertilizer runoff creates eutrophication that flourishes algal bloom (rapid increase
