Mesa Verde National Park, located in Montezuma County, Colorado, was established in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. This United States landmark was designated for the preservation of several Puebloan archeological sites and the vast geologic history exhibited within the 52,485 acres of land occupied by Mesa Verde. The Ancestral Puebloans, or Mesa Verdeans, associated with the archeological sites of Mesa Verde National Park, lived in the Mesa Verde region from the mid-sixth century to the end of the thirteenth century.[3]

The Port Noarlunga Reef is Adelaide’s main attraction. The reef exists on the eastern side of Gulf St Vincent discovered in 1971 and used for about 36 years. This narrow reef is a sandstone reef as it was formed by sand dunes. The reef is 1.6km long and lying 400m offshore. The reef is separated to two where on one of the sides the species are protected and is a reserve while the other side is where the species are not endangered which includes a mix of heterotrophs and autotrophs. In this part of the reef you can fish or do activities such as boating, snorkelling, Scuba diving, swimming, and recreational fishing. Many focus on snorkelling and Scuba diving, which makes Port Noarlunga reef special and attracts 170,000 visitors per year. The ability to interact with the species and swim and snorkel or scuba dive makes the experience much more natural and fun and hence makes this place Adelaide number one attraction. There is also a underwater trail where this gives education to the youth and also enhances the experience in marine ecosystem.

A Destin Native, Gary knows these waters better than most people in the area. At the age of 18 Gary co-captained the first offshore fishing charter boat out of Destin, The Lynwood. His love and appreciation of the ocean and all its inhabitants is what lead him to form his non-profit Artificial Reef Organization, which is known today as the Emerald Coast Reef Association. He was contracted by the state to locate artificial reefs that had been placed in the Gulf of Mexico. There was speculation that people were placing the reefs where they weren’t

The Ocala National Forest, located in north central Florida (Figure 1), encompasses approximately 383,000 acres and is rich in water resources with more than 600 lakes, springs, and rivers (United States Department of Agriculture, 2017). The forest also has a variety of historic, recreation, and scenic locations (Hollis, 2016).

I am going to Arches National Park for my summer vacation. I know that the location of Arches National Park is located in Grand County, Utah. President Herbert Hoover officially in April 12, 1929. Arches got its name by containing over 2,000 arches. This national park has over a 10,000 years of history. I heard that a lot of people go to this national park for the wonderful trails that they can hike on, see all of the beautiful views, and spent some time with their friends and families.

Despite the talk of national parks and national resource parks, the main focus is the everyday park. While I was sitting on the side of the Raritan River I thought to myself how interesting the set up was. As I walked up there was a bench placed perfectly in this gap of trees that allowed you to look out onto the reflecting water. The thing that stuck out to me was the large abundance of trees, but what would a park be without trees? They were perfectly aligned and created the perfect picture frame around the water. It was peaceful despite the highway that you could see to the right of your vision. The whole experience struck me as odd because it was the first time I realized that so often it is the case that nature appears to be an afterthought to human needs. It was not only here that I saw this, but also by the waterfront park by my house. When I was younger the only thing down there was a little playground and now there is a bulkhead and basketball courts. The thing that was enjoyable about the waterfront park was that nature was slowly making its way back on top. The sand was building up over the little wooden fences and the weeds grew wild. It was a positive show of nature’s resilience. Granted the beach was altered in recent years due to Super Storm Sandy, but it is appearing to even bouncing back from that. The waterfront park provided context for what nature can do when left to fight back on its own, as compared to the Buccleuch Park, which represented the typical
