Mid-Atlantic Oceana Summary

The reading that I chose for this assignment is from Chapter Six in the required book for class “The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History”. The chapter title is “The Sea Around Us” where the primary concentration of the chapter was the consequences that humans have on the planet with the focus on ocean acidification. This happens from the carbon dioxide we pump into the air and it slowly seeps back down into the oceans and slowly increases the PH level thus causing the ocean to be more acidic. In about one hundred years do you believe that, oysters, mussels, and coral reefs survive?

In this week’s chapter The Atlantic World which introduces the history from prehistory through 1566, there were two themes that stand out for me which are: The Big “C”s, Conquest, Commerce, Colonization, & Conversion and Race. The history resembles on the European expansion and the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus was the first person to discover the American continent. The New World was another name given to America. The American territory differed in social, economically and politically. America was divided by three societies: Aztecs, Mayan and Incan which belonged to urban societies. Colonization was a breakthrough for both continents. They adaptation was about to begin, there were new things that one continent had

I examine how rising or falling tide can affect the water level of Corte Madera Salt Marsh in this report. The data is from Wednesday (June 19th) and Thursday (June 20th). My hypothesis is that tide and water level have positive relationship. From the result, I learn that the water level and tide have positive relationship. However, when tide changes its direction, the water level is likely to stay or little change.

To begin with, if I was currently an advocate for the environment and animals I would first focus on the Orcas, or killer whales, at theme parks, specifically Sea World. First of all, Sea World is inhumane. Five of the Orcas currently at sea world were “whale-napped” from the oceans they called home. For example, Tilikum, one of the most know whales in the Sea World franchise, is now thirty-two years old. He was captured at the age of two by, which means he has been in captivity for thirty years. And, before anyone says Tilikum was injured so they “rescued” him I want to say that it is fact that Tilikum was not injured. He was taken from his family and confined to a tiny tank just so people could make a hefty profit. Also, if the Orcas are

Boston’s Ocean Prime serves upscale and tantalizing steaks and seafood with globally inspired flavors in its sophisticated and relaxing restaurant. A selection from the raw bar, the Hamachi crudo sushi roll with pickled mango and sesame ginger vinaigrette or the Sonoma goat cheese ravioli with mushrooms make exceptional starter choices. Some of Ocean Prime’s specialty entrée dishes include the Chilean sea bass with champagne truffle sauce, the Duroc pork chop with apricot sherry jus and the Freebird Farms chicken with lemon pan jus, all of which can be accompanied by sides like parmesan truffle fries, roasted brussels sprouts and chophouse corn. Prime steaks, like filet mignon, ribeye and strip steaks, come with your choice of “accessories”,

Oldcastle Precast of Avon, Conn. prefabricated a precast concrete pool and weir fish ladder, designed for a tributary to Hubbard Brook, Middletown, as part of the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s State Route 410 (Aircraft Road) culvert rehabilitation project.

Beginning in the 15th century, European explorers crossed the Atlantic Ocean and conquered almost all of the New World. Mexico, the Caribbean islands, and South America all became part of a vast area of European colonies known as Latin America. The British, French, Dutch, and Portuguese all had territory in this region, but the most notable conquistadors were the Spanish. New Spain included most of the Caribbean islands, Mexico, almost all of Central America, and the entire western coast of South America. Throughout all of these colonies, Spanish society was controlled by a strict social system. At the top of the social hierarchy were the peninsulares, European-born colonists who dominated the government. The peninsulares were

The Indian Ocean Region’s commerce and countries were vastly connected with the Indian Ocean Trade Network. During the time period of 650 C.E. to 1750 C.E., the Indian Ocean Region’s commerce experienced continuities in the people and regions involved in the Indian Ocean Trade Network, the use of monsoon winds to facilitate commerce, and the intermarrying of people. The Indian Ocean region, during this same time period, experienced changes in commerce, such as new and improved technologies, the trading of new goods, and the involvement of new people.

The Coast Guard must implement a program to capture valuable experience gained on board OPC at locations where it is most needed, directing a follow-on tour at a homeport for the Cutter class. Under this program Electronics Technicians rotating from an OPC will expect a follow on tour at a unit providing depot level support to OPC. For the first three years following delivery of Hull number one this unit will be the Maintenance Augmentation Team (MAT) at home port number one, Los Angeles, CA. After the initial three years the choices will expand to include Seattle, WA, followed by Pensacola, FL, Charleston, SC, Portsmouth, VA, and Boston, MA. Technicians need not be restricted to their current homeport; however, such a restriction would realize a cost savings to the PCS account. Opportunity for geo-stability provides an incentive for technicians to volunteer for OPC assignment, at no cost to the Government. There will be periodic cases where more technicians are rotating from an OPC than can be captured in open support billets. These cases will be addressed via triage, authorizing the Assignment Officer to issue orders for the excess personnel according to normal

The best ecozone to visit is the Atlantic Maritime Ecozone because of the moderate climate, economic activities, and extraordinary landforms. The Atlantic Maritime ecozone is situated by the Atlantic Ocean, consisting of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and the Gaspé Peninsula. As a result, the region experiences a maritime climate highly influenced by the ocean, meaning warm winters and cool summers. Typically the annual precipitation is 900mm-1500mm, experiencing more storms than anywhere else in the country. In the Atlantic Ocean, there has been a major industry of fish for centuries, rich with cod, pollock, haddock, plaice, and mackerel. However, as the effects of overfishing become more profound, there has been a rise

What animals have we yet to find in the ocean? In Deep ocean mysteries and wonders by David Gallo, we talk about animals wonders and other facts. We start off by talking about how people think they know the earth but don't. We have explored most of the earth's surface but what about the ocean. We have only explored 5% of the ocean. There is still 95% left, this leaves infinite possibilities. We could find a cure for cancer or find a fish that has the most succulent meat known to man. So far we have found many new animals and plants. One, in particular, is the vampire squid or vampyroteuthids. Vampyroteuthis means squid from hell. It is the last of its kind. It uses little finger-like objects called serious that carry its food to its mouth.

For the past couple weeks, we have focused on the topography of the ocean floor in our Oceanography class. To end this unit, we did a project of the ocean floor, involving coloring our own map of the Pacific seafloor and reflecting on this past unit. As tedious as the map portion of the project had been, I found it to be the most effective teaching tool of the whole unit. The detailed notes and labs had still been enough to teach and understand the topography of the ocean floor, the actual color-coding of the topographical map had, at least for me, given a better appreciation of how diverse and vast the seafloor truly is. I had never given much thought to the ocean floor before this project; I knew that it did have features just as the continents did, but I never realized how vast and diverse it really is.

On the morning of December 26, 2004 on the eastern shoreline of India, individuals saw the ocean retreating a couple of hundred meters and they could see the uncovered beach front rack. This happened in light of the fact that an enormous tsunami which happened after the undersea seismic tremor with a size of 9.3 severed the bank of Bandeh Aceh in Northern Sumatra.

The ocean has shaped our earth for thousands of years. The waves shape the physical land and shorelines. The water absorbs heat and regulates temperatures. It houses many difference species of life and provides food and industry to millions. The ocean even changes our atmosphere as it absorbs CO², among other gases and emits Oxygen. Even the ocean’s crust slowly increases the diameter of the earth as it grows. Much of the ocean is still unexplored, meaning there is still much to learn and discover. It is important for everyone to understand the importance of the ocean to be able to make educated decisions about our future. Ocean literacy is understanding and trying to teach these principles to others.

In today’s internet driven economy, technology innovation is a crucial ingredient that a firm must have to survive. The rapid speed of futuristic user experience creation is greatly welcomed by consumers. In essence, since rule breaking and reengineering are the mantras of inventors, we are already in the future and are establishing an unorthodox way of living. Nevertheless, the transatlantic and international regulators have been trying to keep up with such whirlwind pace of creation which they usually observe first then take actions.
