many different creatures in the ocean. They are categorized into 3 different groups that are Zooplankton, Nekton, and Benthos. In the ocean the zooplankton eat phytoplanktons. Zooplankton are eaten by all of the larger animals. Phytoplankton self reproduce so they don’t need to eat other things. They create their own food. The Nekton eat the zooplankton because it is a smaller species than the rest. Some of the most dangerous animals to both humans and other sea animals are Leopard Seals. Leopard…

salt that protrudes out of the ocean, which lurks a mere five feet below the deck of the boat. It is strange how far you can see while in the middle of the ocean. The vastness of the ocean makes me realize how small and insignificant I truly am, but this doesn’t alarm me, the ocean sooths me, it’s so peaceful out here how can it not. Looking down into the deep dark depths of the ocean I wonder what secrets it holds, what stories it has, and who else may be on the ocean as I am wondering the same things…

scientist as well as post war era naval technologies, we’re able to finally find out what lies beneath the great oceans. In 1977, under the direction of Bob Ballard, a navigation group from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Scripps Institute of Oceanography and researchers from Oregon State joined together aboard the Knorr. Over the Galápagos Rift with Alvin the world’s first deep-sea manned submersible they had plans to find such venting systems. At latitude 21 degrees North the Alvin reached 9…

She had been chosen to go on an expedition with her other colleagues to explore the atlantic ocean and different species located in this ocean. The day was a beauty, but she had never really been much of a swimmer. Ever since she had been young she had never really liked the water, loved to study and explore it but was not one to swim in it. She always had the feeling that she was invading the home of sea creatures whenever her cousins or siblings would force her to jump in. 20 people were aboard…

As far back as the history of man, humans have been dependent on the ocean and water resources for food and survival. While hundreds of years of single handed fishing rods in coastal and inland water channels have not alone been the root cause of overfishing, these common practices today still impact the environmental balance. Ocean overfishing is the removal or taking of wildlife from the oceans and seas at rates too high for fished species to replace themselves and is a threat that exists to…

underwater world known as the Ocean and water also is the main reason us, humans, are alive. We need water to live, without water humans would not be able to survive. With this being said water runs our lives. Humans which live on land also rely on life from the ocean for food. Humans must keep the water pollution levels at normal levels or else the water will taint the animals they use for food. The animals are not the only thing they have to worry about polluting in the Ocean. Other pollutants like CO2…

wastewater, refineries) before they get released to the ocean. It is not possible to measure effectively the pollution in the ocean but measuring the pollution outcome from the points sources is possible. This target is not measurable. It is instead a result that is led by various efforts (achieving other targets will indeed lead to that). This target is measurable but not directly. Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the oceans which is easily measurable. The impacts however are…

Ocean covers 71 percent of the world 's surface and holds 97 percent of the total water on Earth. For centuries, people have regarded it as an inexhaustible resource and a useful transport route. The ocean also plays a significant role in regulating the climate, the atmosphere, carbon cycling, and nutrition flow. However, environmental problems, particularly over the last few decades, have pushed the ocean to its limits. This essay will argue three major environmental issues impacting the world 's…
