Eyes Under The Water Essay

The waterways are connected from the Great Lakes to the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, which goes into the Des Plaines River and proceeds to the Mississippi River. The fish are able to travel all the way through these areas. The CBC’s broadcast on Asian carp stated that the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal that joins Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River is the main focus where the fish have entered the Great Lakes.

Over the years many animals have been affected by the trash in the ocean. The trash can affect the animals by making animals eat and pick up plastic, by trapping animals in a net, and by cutting their wounds. The trash is causing animals to die, mainly from the plastic objects and from getting cut by trash or by getting stuck in the trash. Some animals mistake plastic for food. When the animals eat the plastic their organs can get ruptured. In addition to that, animals mistake plastic for food because the plastic smells like krill (a small fish that is found in the ocean, and a fish that is eaten by some animals). Another reason why animals die is because of ghost gear. Ghost gear is what people call fishing supplies that were thrown into

For my cultural cache book report I chose to read the book, The Color of Water by James McBride. I learned several things about what life was like in the mid-1900’s and in which may be why we still face issues with racial differences. McBride does a great job of illustrating his internal and external challenges that he faces throughout his life. I also learned more about African American culture in the United States and gave me a desire to be a part of positive change to this particular racial group.

The article Into the Dark Water by Lauren Tarshis is about when the most massive, high in technology, indestructible ship sunk. The Titanic of course. Also when passenger and survivor Jack Thayer shared his journey, through his writing with author Lauren Tarshis. It makes the article more intriguing to use quotes because it makes you feel as if you are on the ship on that night.

One good way to understand how much bass fishing has changed over the years is to look at all of the gear and equipment and

Another favorite activity of Nacogdoches residents is water sports. Water skiing, wakeboarding, knee boarding, tubing and jet skis are some of the activities that occur on a daily basis during the warm summer months at Lake Nacogdoches.

Snook, redfish, bluefish and Spanish mackerel may just be the catch of the day. Boat launch facilities are available for offshore fishing, diving and boating.

How does the garbage pollute the water? 22 million pounds of plastic enter the Great Lakes each year. Scientists found unknown of pollution that they fear because it poses risks to people by spreading toxic

Society tends to blame the fisherman for the trash that turns into marine debris. They are wrong. According to the California Coastal Commission, “Only 20% of the items found in the ocean can be linked to ocean-based sources, like commercial fishing vessels, cargo fish or pleasure cruise ships. The remainder (80%) is due to land based sources like litter (from pedestrians, motorists, beaches visitor), industrial discharges (in the form of plastic pellets and powders), and garbage management.”. Fisherman and other trained workers in the oceans are not the only

Amy’s previous experience with her grandfather’s death led her to believe that people and other living creatures “go away” when they die, yet the fish is still in the fish bowl. From Piaget’s perspective, this situation is likely to:

The man in the water was very courageous. He saved many people's lives. He risked his own life to save the lives of others. He is a true hero, a definite true hero. This man gave it his all to save others in a situation where he could have left them to save his own life. He was a man with a mission, and that was to assure the safety of others. He is a very compelling man, the man was truly selfless.

A common sight to a visitor on a beach in the U.S. is garbage that has been pitched by another person or washed up on the beach, after it has been carelessly thrown away. All the carelessly disposed of trash eventually accumulates, rather it be in one place, such as a landfill, or in many places just dispersed and spread out, like litter. In 1997, Captain Charles Moore came across a large trash deposit, while sailing in his boat, Alguita, in the pacific. What he encountered that day could only be described as a floating continent of trash, which today has names such as “trash vortex”, “plastic soup”, and Eastern Garbage Patch”(Friedman 7-10). The mass of trash is still present today and is calculated to be twice the size of the U.S., weighing in at around 100 million tons of trash (Friedman 7). This garbage patch is one of the leading growing environmental hazards of the world today. The trash has been linked to cancer, caused by the toxins released in the water from the plastics, the killing of seabirds, and the killing of more than a 100,000 marine mammals each year (Friedman 9). This is one of the negative effects human trash is having on the planet and how people are now turning to recycling to help resolve problems similar to this. Today people in the U.S. alone produce 245 million tons of trash a year, which helps contribute to problems like the “trash vortex” (Lazarus 13). Recycling would help cut this trash flow significantly, while having other positive effects, if

Oceanodromous: These group of fishes are born near the breeding ground, and by the current of water they get drifted in ocean before reaching the juvenile form and then once it get matured, returns back to spawning ground. Example include: snapper

But there is also a boat on standby to recover those who fall and people watch in the distance.
