Ocean Ranger Research Paper

The boating industry has suffered serious revenue losses since the 2008 downturn in the economy. Our strategy for Sea Ray of Knoxville minimizes risk yet strengthens and refines the current marketing campaign. Analysis indicates a concentration on families and communities would coincide with Sea Ray’s current image that “Where land ends, life begins.”

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.

2. the periodicity of the tides allowing power to be generated through tides is only a portion of the 24 hour day.

Tired of ferry line-ups and traffic jams? The B.C. Marine Trails Network Association (BCMTNA) has the solution! Imagine a magnificent, 257-kilometre saltwater route connecting Vancouver’s lower mainland to Victoria. Granted, you will need to rethink the amount of luggage you are toting as you will require a canoe, kayak or small beachable boat to travel along the Salish Sea Marine Trail. This spectacular route, designed specifically for paddlers, will add an impressive water leg to the Great Trail, previously known as the Trans Canada Trail. If all goes according to plan the trail will be complete in time for Canada’s 150 birthday celebration in July 2017. Now that’s a birthday

The Ocean Ranger was an offshore exploration oil drilling platform that sank in Canadian waters 315 kilometres southeast from St. John's Newfoundland, on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland on February 15, 1982, with 84 crewmembers onboard. The Ocean Ranger was the largest semi-submersible, offshore exploration, oil drilling platform of the day. Built in 1976 by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, it operated off the coasts of Alaska, New Jersey, Ireland, and in November 1980 moved to the Grand Banks. Since it was so big it was considered to have the ability to drill in areas too dangerous for other rigs. The government thought it was unsinkable, so they felt that there was no need to train a crew very well.

When starting out this project the aquatic biome was not my first choice as loss of biodiversity sounded cool to me, but it ended up being hard to find information on so I thought to myself why not do the aquatic biome. When starting my project on the aquatic biome I thought that it only involved the ocean as the ocean is known to be a mystery. But the aquatic biome ended up having many more parts involved in it then just the ocean. There is the saltwater region which is the ocean there is also a freshwater region which involves lakes and ponds there is also coral reefs which are separate from the ocean. The saltwater and freshwater regions both include different types of plants and animals. Saltwater is more available on earth then freshwater

I love the beach. I feel so calm lying on the warm sand with the sound of the waves hitting the shore around me, until my feet hit that water and I’m reminded of the menacing creatures that lurk further out. For the water-wader, you really only worry about jellyfish or the sea shells cutting your feet (depending on what beach you’re on of course.) But for those of us who like to be out in the water either swimming, surfing, diving or fishing, we have much bigger worries swimming through our mind. I have this terrible fear that if I get too far out, I’m going to get attacked by a great white shark. I’ve never even seen the movie Jaws (shocking, right?) but I just know that will be my life the minute I exceed ankle-deep water. Maybe it is a

After graduating high school, I spent three months in Japan learning languages. There, I could engage with people from all the different backgrounds. Although it was a short period, only living in three months in Japan widened my perspectives. Semester at Sea will more open my perspectives also engaging in South Asia, Africa and Europe.

Oceanography is and always will be my life. I spent most of middle school through college with one goal in mind, and that was to study and explore the ocean. A little more than half way through college I started thinking about what exactly I would be doing after I graduated. I hadn’t quite figured it out at the time. Eventually I started to think that I would just go to grad school and specialize in Chemical Oceanography or something. Senior year came and went and I started to pay more attention to the elections. The elections were what finally helped me decide on what I have to do.

The ocean is a scary place, and to be honest, the similarly terrifying land agrees. Taking up 70% of the earth, a majority of the vast ocean still remains unexplored. The exploration of the ocean, however, presents itself as quite complicated due to the fact that humans can’t breathe or live under water. There is also a bit of a transportation difficulty because it is proven that people can’t just drive cars through the water in attempt to later use them to collect valuable data. These complications are definitely an obstacle, but with the right technology, anything is possible. The impact that technology has had on ocean transportation is not only responsible for allowing researchers to transport through the oceans, but map

The ocean is the globe's largest ecosystem that sustains both economic revenue and food. Humans have contributed to fundamental changes in the ocean. It is important to understand how human activities have affected ocean productivity, ecosystems and physical aspects, and how these changes potentially influence human civilization in the future.

Why are we focusing on space? It isn't going anywhere but the ocean is going somewhere! everyday we use lots of water, we use it to take showers, we use it to to stay hydrated, we use it for our plants, we use it to make food, plus it is getting evaporated every day by the sun. So soon we may not have our ocean. That’s why we need to explore it before it’s gone. There are many creatures down there that we can find, we can find out more of our planet and we can learn more about our past.

The world is home to many living things, the majority of life on earth though is living in the ocean with a percent of 94%. Since the beginning of the 1800s, man has been mapping the great oceans and what’s in them, but no more than 90 years ago have we started to look deeper. The ocean hasn't been completely explored, but with the advances in ocean exploration technology, scuba diving’s, and with those finds of strange creatures and treasures along the way.

We are causing harm to the only oceans and ocean animals in our world. Instead of taking care of it, we put plastic bags in the ocean. First, many sea animals would die because we do not reuse plastic bags and we don’t throw it away. We also do not ever wonder about how many plastic bags we are using. There is about eight million of trash in the coastal countries. Some people may wonder how it gets there. It gets there because we are the ones who put it in there. We don’t throw it away and we also let it

Despite the fact that the ocean plays a role in everything from the air we breathe to daily weather and climate patterns, we know very little about our ocean. And, most of our knowledge of the ocean lies in shallower waters. Deeper waters remain a mystery even though we are relying more and more on these areas for food, energy, and other resources.
