Barrier Island Environment

Barrier Islands are very so hard to protect, therefore, there should be different kinds of information that would help the community distant from these Coast's to commit to preserving a Barrier Island. first of all historically these barrier islands have been hard to protect because the links between them an inshore ecosystems are poorly recognized. some of the ways resolve this issue include putting signs up roads that lead to the coast, putting Billboards up making tissue blown up on a big board, sending mass text out like they do with Amber Alerts, creating symbols or texts on the roads themselves like we have with turn signals, putting more information on local channels for TV, putting Flyers up at local restaurants or bars,

Through this written work I will compare and contrast the Environmental issues of Easter Island and the Lorax and how they relate to today's world .One of the main issues is deforestation and the overuse of resources.

Although it supports a number of different organisms, Nudgee Beach lacks many of the fundamentals that make up a healthy and successful ecosystem. The first indicator of this is from the lack of birds present in the area. Although it has been noted for terrestrial bird species – such as kingfishers, pelicans, ibis, egrets, jabiru, stilts and heron – and wading bird species – such as golden plovers, curlews, tattlers and godwits – to have been spotted at Nudgee Beach and surrounding areas in the past; after a day’s worth of extensive observation and research, it was found that the birds observed were limited to magpie, ibis, great knot and eastern curlew species. To intensify this factor, at the time by which this lack of species was recorded, Nudgee Beach was expected to have started seeing tens of thousands of birds arrive for the migratory season [21]. This blatant lack of bird species diversity and quantity may have been due to the lack of small organisms within the ecosystem. The restricted number of small organisms at Nudgee Beach is detrimental to the entire ecosystem as these organisms make up the bottom levels of the food web and provide higher-level organisms with adequate amounts of food to consume. The smaller organisms expected to be observed – including; crustacean, shell, mollusc, lizard, frog, fish, worm, arachnid and insect species – was limited to the infrequent observation of crustacean, shell,

Channel Island National Park is a United States National park, that consists of five of the eight channel island off the cost of U.S state of California, in the Pacific Ocean. It was established in March,05,1980. The Channel Island National Park’s size of 390 mi. Surfacing over the horizon from the depth of Pacific, the coastal mountains of California Channel Island offer an extraordinary gateway to the past. Spanning more than 12,000 years of human history.Channel Island National Park was surrounded by water.

In the Everglades these patches of trees or islands of them are an essential piece of the landscape. These islands of trees are seen in both the short and the long hydro period wetland of the Everglades. What these islands start to do is provide a web of shade and they gives opportunity for these forest-dwelling plants and animals to perform important biodiversity and nutrient cycling functions (Gained et al. 2002, Ross 2009). Tree islands can be all different sizes, in the short hydro period area these sizes can vary from anything of two to three trees to as big as several hectares with hundreds of trees. The size of these tree islands have a direct effect on the amount of species there are, the larger the tree island the more chance there is to have more

Hawaii Turtle Tours takes you for a tour around the island of Oahu to see some pretty amazing things. However, most people don’t know about the trouble that the islands face. The islands are home to some amazing and unique plants and animals. Yet, today it is estimated that there approximately 90% of these species are invasive or foreign. Leaving only 10% of native and endemic species left on the island. This means that of this small percentage, these plans and animals are found nowhere else in the world. Plus, the majority of these species are endemic, which means that they are found only in Hawaii and nowhere else.

Many historic places have gone through numerous transformations from the start of its creation, during or after. The site underwent multiple stages of transformations. The “birth” of the location took place 1829. The Staten Island Farm Colony began with only two acres of land. With success came the need of more land, which led to another purchase of land that vastly expanded its territory. The ninety- one acre purchase of land allowed the colonists to cultivate more crops. There was so much land that there was a lot more room to experiment with. The Staten Island Farm Colony originally started as a poor farm ("NYC Farm Colony & Seaview Hospital”). The idea of this expansion came shortly after the realization that the colony was growing in

Barrier Island is a low edge of sand that is parallel to the mainland with a distance of 2 to 19 miles’ off the shoreline, 300 barrier islands border the shore of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to Padre Island, Texas. The barrier island defends the coast from the full power of storm waves. In the central of the barrier island and the mainland is a peaceful lagoon or a bay. Mainly most of these barrier island are 0.6-3 miles wide and amid from 9-18 miles long. The highest structures example of barrier island are sand dunes with the height of 16-33 feet; however, in some places the dunes can reach the height of 100 feet. Few barrier islands are initiated as spits that were then detached from the inland by upsurge corrosion, rising of sea level resulting

The Kaho’Olawe island restoration project is a one of the smallest Hawai’ian Islands located near Maui. The Island is the largest unpopulated offering an opportunity to protect the Hawai’ian species and culture. Kaho’Olawe Island historically support many Hawaii’s native plant and animals yet invasive species present on the island have destroyed native plants and animal’s populations and disruptive of other practices. ISLAND CONSERVATION (IC) is working with the Kaho’Olawe Island Reserve Commission ( KIRC ) to advance the restoration of the islands by the removing of invasive species such as rodents and feral Cats. This effort of removal of these invasive species will allow for the protection of native habitats and providing the opportunity

The newly available Island on the Florida coast will be called Relaxation. The Island of Relaxation will require a new local government to be formed. The Island will also need a judicial system and law enforcement established. The following is my proposal to achieve these items.

This pristine environment also provided habitat for great diversity of plants and wildlife. Hundreds of species of native plants thrived in forest, marsh, and meadow. But now, in scarcely a

Most countries financial status of the Caribbean territory are extremely reliant of their shorelines for fishing and tourism. Though, these resources are now disappearing or are extremely endangered. These wildlife species are being exhausted at a disturbing rate with both the destruction and over-exploitation of their environments. These rare cases of almost vanished Caribbean monk seal validates the vulnerability of this specific species of many, if proper protection laws haven’t been in place as soon as possible.

The effect of evolution on the birds’ biodiversity if they have variety types of foods that are available on that island they are in. If birds change their habitat like eating different types of foods, then they can survive and reproduce more on that island. For example, birds won’t be able to survive if they move from their suitable environment and this will decrease the population of the species.

The impacts on biotic factors are obvious. One-third of the island’s 1,600 unique species of plants

On the 9th of March, I went to Siren’s Rocks to investigate the community pattern, also called zonation, within the bounds of Island Bay’s Wellington Ecological Marine Reserve. The ecosystem of Taputeranga Marine Reserve takes the full impact of the Southern ocean swells. This Reserve is influenced by three different oceanic currents. This is an abiotic factor. The currents impact helps shape the rocky shoreline into the ecological community of different species of shore life into a pattern of different zones (zonation).
