New England Aquarium

Of course this is my children’s favorite place in the Aquarium. It features a number of touch tanks with searays and sharks as well as exhibits featuring sea turtles and the wildlife of coral reef. My family and I spend several hours in here petting the sea life. There is also a café and souvenir shop. My daughter still has the big finding Nemo stuffed animal that we purchased on our first visit in 2005.

This work of art is titled, Monterey Bay from Santa Cruz Pogonip. The artist who created this piece is Tom Killion, and its creation came to be in 2002. The piece is a wood stamp press, these presses are hand carved into wood and linoleum blocks. Each variety of color that is present in the piece, a new block has to be created to ensure that the color doesn’t blend in ways the artist would not want it too. In the framed final piece, the stamp is separated into two different frames to gives focus to the the, Monterey Bay and then Santa Cruz. In this piece, Killion uses this chance to portray Santa Cruz in a landscape narrative, he uses depth to enable the landscape. The piece’s foreground is the mountain in Pogonip, a hiking area in the northern part of Santa Cruz County; then it starts spreading out to a horizontal view of the ocean, and at the bottom of the mountain, Santa Cruz is located. In the depiction of the town you see the shadows of the Big Dipper, an amusement park attraction and the historic Holy Cross Catholic Church.

There are many time ecologists are concerned about the effect of exploitation of natural resources to the interrelated terrestrial and linked aquatic ecosystem. The area under study involves related terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem of south Florida ecosystem, and it is tough to underestimate the impact of exploitation of one ecosystem to the other as these two ecosystems are interlinked in one way or other. The ecosystem description is that it consists of an aquatic environment characterized by the Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades ecosystem that consists of river Kissimmee and Okeechobee Lake. To the other end is the linked terrestrial ecosystem around this aquatic ecosystem such an Everglades national park, big cypress preserve, and Biscayne

[fact]In countries outside the EU, dolphins live in conditions that make Attica (prison) seem like paradise. In September Ric O'Barry, former trainer of the TV dolphin Flipper, travelled with a animal welfare and conservation group to Turkey to help save two dolphins. At an unlicensed park in Hisaronu, on the Aegean, O’ Barry and others found Tom and Misha, two bottlenose dolphins, bobbing around in a stinking soup of excrement, rotting fish and worms, in a pool measuring 19 metres by 12 and just 4 metres deep. The owner bought the two dolphins and would charge 55 Euros for ten minute swims with the dolphins. Marine aquatic shows are suppose to be a source of knowledge not entertainment. Marine parks were made to conserve and help animals.

Did you know that oysters are making an awesome comeback? They are very important to our ecosystem, and the Lynnhaven River is a great place to make their home. People are coming up with creative ways to ensure that oysters will be a part of our world for centuries to come. The water where oysters live is also very interesting. This all combines to make a plethora of information that feeds millions of minds.

Forty-five minutes south east from the city of San Francisco is an area I’ve been meaning to write about since I started this blog. Mostly because as an outdoor enthusiast I feel thrilled and somewhat obligated to provide highlights for the conservational efforts that help preserve and protect the natural world that I love. The Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge is one such area. Founded in 1974, by the congressman who is its namesake, this preserve spans 30,000 acres of salt ponds, marshes, and open bay. It’s notable not only for its ability to sun burn even the hardiest visitor, but this place is an ornithologist’s dream. Featuring a large diversity of wildlife from over 280 species of birds (including raptors), endangered

One of the top visitor attractions in Boston, the New England Aquarium is both a major educational resource center, and a global leader in marine exploration and conservation. The Aquarium is located on the water’s edge near Boston Harbor, and down the street from Faneuil Hall. Visitors can delight in seeing thousands of aquatic animals, ranging from penguins to seals. Don’t miss the Giant Ocean Tank, a four-story coral reef that showcases hundreds of stunning Caribbean creatures.

My experience at Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary included working hands-on, alone or with other volunteers, and bringing our questions to our mentors. I worked with another volunteer to take census of salamanders living under square boards of wood in the forest. We loved to see the small amphibians crawl around in the dirt and hide under the leaves. Along with salamanders we would find slugs, crickets, centipedes, and others. I loved being able to find little creatures and observe them in their natural states. We would sometime find a bug which we couldn’t identify, so we would take pictures of it to show the staff. After they helped us identify the insect, they would tell us whatever background knowledge they had of the bug, which was usually quite impressive. These mentors have inspired me to be like them and to one day fill the role of a mentor to someone who loves the environment like I do. I want to be able to provide people

The Audubon Aquarium of the Americas houses thousands of aquatic animals, as well as sea otters and penguins.

New York City’s ground and surface waters are being contaminated with heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and nutrients that have an adverse effect on human health (Bharali, 2007). However, eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) act as nature’s biofiltration system, each providing ~50 gallons of purified water per day (Merrill, 2014). New York harbor once had up to 350 square miles of oysters, producing roughly about 300,000 bushels a year (Nigro, 2011). Today, that population has substantially decreased due to the effect of bacterial contamination, over harvesting, pollution and sewage (Munoz, et al. 2010). Only a small number of oysters remain in the NYC harbor, and that damage cannot be fixed without proactive conservation

This aquarium is fun, for sure, but it's also a great way to sneak education into your family vacation. You'll find sea turtles, otters, and stingrays here, and can meet Winter, the aquatic star of the movie “Dolphin Tale.”
