Hunt Cliff

This forty page, hardcover text includes short paragraphs on the left page and vibrant illustrations of coastal life by Roy Vickers on the right pages, except for a large picture covering pages 25 and 26. The story takes place in a Kitkatla, a small Tsimshian village community in northern B.C., near the town of Prince Rupert. The story brings to life a legend of the journey of

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,

In “The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest”, by Melanie Dickerson, Odette Menkels is desperately trying to feed the poor in her village. Odette is only a simple maiden who teaches children how to read, but she also has to feed the starving people and the Margrave owns the best hunting grounds around. However only royalty are aloud to hunt on them but that doesn’t stop her from hunting on the grounds anyways. While she is poaching the deer the Margrave’s forester, Jorgen Hartman, starts to notice the decrease in the deer. He is now determined to catch the new poacher and bring him to justice. Odette never thought about the consequences or how she could feed the people another way. She just saw her side, which was that the Margrave had enough to

Hastings Point is a small coastal town located in New South Wales that is sounded by a national park. Hastings point has been a great location for tourists due to its marine wildlife, beaches and fishing. This destination is home to a magnificent rocky shore perfectly suited for a vast majority and wide range of marine wildlife. The rocky shore has a wide spread of both biotic and abiotic factors which provides a suitable ecosystem for all wildlife but unfortunately this unindustrialized location is becoming over developed. This takes a toll on Hastings point ecosystem immensely because the estuary, beach and the living organisms are slowly diminishing in

* The efforts of “Terrigal Lagoon Bushcare” have been largely successful in keeping the lagoons around Terrigal ecosystems. Their actions have helped the native plants compete with the introduced species.

On the 14th of March 2011, year 10 went to Cronulla Beach to investigate how people use and interact with the coastal environment. We investigated three main things and they were:

Habitat: Commonly found in terrestrial. Forest light gaps, slips, margins, disturbed sites, open habitats, riverbeds, cliffs, inshore and offshore islands, fernland, herbfield,

The following report will not only discuss the importance of the Shorncliffe Foreshore but the landscape and landforms of the area by analysing the change of the foreshore as well as the geographical processes involved.

The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros is a coming of age story. The main character, Esperanza, is a young Latina girl. Supernatural is the story of two brothers “hunting” monsters. The main characters, Sam and Dean, travel the U.S. saving lives. A lot of people say that The House on Mango Street is “A deeply moving novel” (Miami Herald cover), but I think Sam’s story is more moving and inspirational tale.

This section is probably the most demanding part of the Way, it traverses the northern escarpment of the North York Moors, crossing a series of valley’s which drain the moorland pastures. On a clear day, the scenery is beautiful and invigorating, but there are few places to shelter if the weather turns foul. Lord Stones Country Park is the only watering hole, en route, so take sufficient rations.

The soil was losing its great growing powers, because of over cultivation. There were hardly as many seabirds as could be remembered in recent years. Slowly but surely, their way of life was dwindling, like a slowing dying flame. They couldn’t directly see their end, but it was near. When their major population finally did go, it went out with a whimper. Slowly and quietly they went the way of their beloved fern trees. With the loss of all of the necessary items to sustain their eco system, such as the fern, the trees, which they used to make rope, the birds they used, hunt. All gone now, because they could not replenish them selves in a quickly enough time to meet the needs of the people.

The intertidal rocky shore of Caloundra Beach is inhabited by diverse range of biodiversity of animals and plants, many of which have developed high levels of adaptations throughout their existence. The very boundary of marine and terrestrial ecosystem, this environment is subjected to extremes of the physical environment such as temperature, desiccation, wave turbulence as well the ecological interactions that commonly occur in biotic communities (e.g. competition, predation). However Rocky intertidal shores are easily accessible by humans and provide an enjoyable opportunity for passive recreation and for science and environmental education as well.

Easter Island’s colossally international identity is mainly associated with its mysterious moai (the island’s statues); however, more recently, Easter Island is being recognized for its depleting resources and wildlife. Apart from the tourism generated by the moai, Easter Island is a popular destination for scuba divers due to its pristine, clear waters. There is concern about Easter Island’s ocean life as it is home to nearly one hundred fifty unique marines species that are gradually disappearing. These aquatic species make up the island’s food source as there are no large, indigenous mammals. In addition to tourism, these fish make up the rest of Easter Island’s economy. Even though humans have played a role in devastating the flora and fauna, Easter Island’s very location works against the native life forms.

After the fall of the Eastern Han, China faced a huge crisis. The entire empire ended up falling apart and was broken up into different regions: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. The Battle of Red Cliffs actually took place after the fall of the empire but before the Three kingdoms were established. However, within the U.S released version of the Red Cliff movie, the film mainly focuses on the battle between Cao Cao’s troops and the troops of Sun Quan. Although the troops of Liu Bei do take part in the battle, their contribution wasn’t as great compared to the others in the film.

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).
