Catalina Island Marine Institute: School Trip Report

Select Explore from the menu, then select Ocean Exploration listed below Oceans. Choose an explorative mission that took place at a marine sanctuary or an ecological preserve. This is the specific web site to use as a launching point for further research.

President Obama established a national marine memorial off the coast of New England. The new memorial, which is about the size of Connecticut, houses geological and ecological treasures. Under the surface of this protected ocean rest canyons and extinct volcanoes. Rare fish, coral, whales, and turtles count themselves among the animals that live in the memorial. Critics cite the possible harm the memorial will cause to the fishing industry.

Malia Rivera and Carlie Wiener, together they have developed an array of programs to inspire local community members to explore marine sciences and promote stewardship awareness. Including research and management, there is vast amount of education and outreach programs to communicate the science. Examples of these programs are, Ecosystem Penpals, which is a program that brings together two communities of students adjacent to National Marine Sanctuaries. Coconut Island Field Trips & Navigating Change Curriculum Site, is a program that allows tours directed by docents of the Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB), sharing with local citizens the research that has been going on close to their own home. Thus, allowing students to sneak peak into marine science careers. Ocean FEST (Families Exploring Science Together) is funded to develop interest in the marine science careers amongst local students. This program allows parents and students to educate themselves on ongoing research programs. Some concepts that are touched upon in these workshops are climate change, ocean acidification, microbial communities, and ocean properties. Other programs among are Windward Community College Continuing Education Course: Moku o Lo’e. Initiated in 2009, HIMB-NOAA Fellowship Program, which is a paid one year program for undergraduate and graduate students in NOAA offices to get experiences and skills that are career related. As establishments, The Mokupapapa

In Hawaii the marine life has been affected because of many tourist. Ever since tourist have came to hawaii the ocean has become very dangerous to the sea creatures in it. They have negatively affected the ocean in many ways such as polluting the ocean by throwing their plastics, and even oil spills that is occurring in areas from them.

Entering Cal State Channel Islands was a momentous victory when it came to my acceptance. As a matter of fact, I sense I was going to improve my writing skills and be out with the old traditional habits taught to me in high school. My writing experience was identical to a metaphoric quote, “kill two birds with one stone.” The stone symbolize when I abolished the five sentence per paragraph policy. The two birds represented writing techniques and understanding how to express myself onto a paper. Unfortunately, the only English classes I have ever taken in my higher education were English 102 and English 103. Consequently, from what I can recall, I was intellectually and writing constantly about my opinions based on certain topics. When it came

Through the Biology 124 Lab class on the spring 2016, my classmates, professor, and I went to Maunalua Bay for initial monitoring. I had never been there, so I surprised the difference between the real bay and what I expected. The Maunalua Bay is cleaner and more beautiful than I expected. I thought that there are more rocks, but there are more algae and sea animals than rocks. I found Asparagopsis taxiformis, Avrainvillea amadelpha, Gracilaria salicornia, shrimp, crab, and hermit crab. There are Avrainvillea amadelpha the most. I enjoyed finding many algaes and sea animals, and counting the algaes in Maunalua Bay.

My company, Eastern State Marine, has a contract to buy and use newly developed paint and rust remover from Virginia Allied Chemical. The rust and paint remover are chemical hazard. Chemical hazards can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin or both, and usually come in the form of mists, vapors, gases, dusts, and fumes (Goetsch 365). As a Human Resources Specialist I need to assess the risks in the workplace and implement and maintain effective control measures (HSE). My first step would be to fill out a safety data sheet and allow employees to view it. By filling this out, I will be able to properly identify the chemical and understand how harmful or toxic it could be. Once I understand how hazardous or toxic the chemical is, then I

While attending Aggie Fish Camp, I expressed my interest in participating in undergraduate research to my camp counselor. At the time it was impossible to predict that moment was the first step into an experience which has largely defined my undergraduate college career. It was not until classes began and I was trying to keep pace with school, that the opportunity to become involved in a project presented itself.

For youthful and old alike, an outing to the shoreline implies unwinding, enterprise, and a brief escape from the stresses and duties of standard life. In the case of swimming or surfing, hurling a volleyball or simply napping in the sand, a visit to the shoreline implies fun. The main gear you require is a twelve-inch profound bucket, a little plastic scoop, and a lot of clammy sand. Making a sandcastle is a most loved venture of shoreline goers of any age. Start by uncovering a lot of sand (enough to fill no less than six buckets) and orchestrating it in a heap. At that point, scoop the sand into your bucket, tapping it down and leveling it off at the edge as you do.

The sea otters are very important to the beauty, and biodiversity of their marine ecosystems, (specifically off the coast of California). They feed on grazing animals such as, sea urchins and invertebrates, which feed on giant kelp. Without the sea otters, the sea urchins, invertebrates and any other grazing animal can destroy kelp forests. Even more so, kelp forests are used as homes to the wide diversity of animals that depend upon kelp habitat for survival. Also, kelp forests protect coastlines from storm surges, and absorb massive amounts of damaging carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Another important fact about Sea otters is that they are sentinel species. Sentinel species are animals used to detect danger and give off warnings of danger. When applying this concept to sea otters, they reflect the health of California’s coastal

Catalina island has an exception to everything like playing basketball or even just taking a nice stroll on the beach. Now catalina gives you a verity of cabins to stay in for your stay you can either be on the beach or in the mountains looking on to the beach. when you get to catalina you are immediatly met by kind camp councilar who will show you all the activitys we can do and after were finished with all the activitys we have dinner. For dinner they a sufficent taste of food. After you have had dinner and cleaned up your area you have free time when you get free time you can do a veritiy of things such as basket ball or gaga ball. But when you finished and your ready for bed you should take a shower the showers are located inside the bathroom

[During October and November of my gap year I will be completing my PADI Divemaster qualification in Mexico] and meanwhile undertaking a marine conservation module and [Spanish lessons]. The marine module will give me a much greater understanding of marine ecosystems, but also the effect that pollution is having on the hydrosphere, not only in our oceans. There are many solutions to oceanic pollution…Why does marine ecosystems interest you? Because it is relevant, directly affects humans etc…

The objective of this program was to inform the reader or listener about how climate change I the Pacific Ocean is affecting marine life. Along with climate change affecting marine life, ocean acidification is causing the destruction of coral reefs, which are essential for the humans and the organisms that thrive on them in the ocean. Past the scientist views of whom is to blame for this, the true message is to get awareness out to the public so that this process of ocean destruction can be reversed so the preservation of the organisms in these oceanic regions can survive and continue to thrive. It is a general conclusion that is brought up in this radio broadcast, that although there is stark evidence that marine life is changing, there

Since the beginning of the human race, people have flocked to the ocean. The largest civilizations were built in fertile, coastal areas. Oceanographer and professor at Stanford University, Mark Denny, opened up his book, How the Ocean Works: An Introduction to Oceanography, with the statement, “Throughout history, men and women have been drawn to the sea” (Denny 1). Here in Hawaii, this is especially notable. Hawaii was discovered by islanders who were adventuring across the sea, using it to feed them and working with the currents on their journey. Now, hundreds of years later, visiting the white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters of Hawaii is on nearly the whole world’s bucket list, but it might not be around for much longer. This would be devastating to the planet, as environmental expert Jennifer Weeks says oceans supply most of the Earth’s food and oxygen (Weeks). Not only does the sea provide the most basic necessities for survival, but it has also provided “...Anticancer and antiviral drugs based on substances produced by coral reef species...” (Weeks). Despite all the research that has been done, and is currently underway right this moment, we still know less about the ocean than we do about space! Elisabeth Mann Borgese, an expert in environmentalism, has written, “Our ignorance of the ocean is profound, and although we have learned much during the last hundred years, our knowledge of ocean processes and life in the oceans will remain forever incomplete” (Borgese 23). As Borgese said, it is impossible to learn all there is to know about the sea, but knowing what to do to fix the state of the world’s oceans is vital and attainable information.

Majestic animals that live in the ocean are rapidly dying and subsequently washing up on numerous shorelines that touch the Pacific Ocean’s waters. Disposal of a variety of toxins and damaging waste finding a path into our oceans are to blame for the deaths, which are largely preventable. Sharks, sea turtles, whales, dolphins and birds are just fraction of the marine life that are suffering because they are becoming sick or are dying of starvation. Their food sources are diminishing or disappearing as the cycle of destruction continues on down to the tiny, minute plankton that are the core of the food chain in the ocean. Contamination is causing the sudden increase of marine life deaths in the Pacific Ocean. The most recent reports of dead sea animals found washed up on shorelines don’t state scientific evidence of the cause of the mysterious deaths.
