Persuasive Ocean Project

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.

SeaWorld opened on March 15, 1959 and has been a huge visitor attraction. Ever since the Blackfish documentary was released in 2013, SeaWorld dropped sales by 50% in the year 2014. Even though SeaWorld is still in business and training the orcas, I think SeaWorld should be closed down because of the whales’ health and the risks of the trainers.

Specific Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to provide a persuasive speech on the issue of water pollution and inaccessibility to clean water in third world countries and offer some plausible solutions. The three solutions are filtration systems, chlorination, and collection grids.

Sharks, the scariest, biggest, baddest creatures! That's what we make them out to be, but are they really? The answer is no, we say that. We kill more of them than they kill of us, about 900,094 more. Sharks, being carnivores, are NOT natural predators of humans.

Astonishingly, Did you know that we have better maps of the moon than we do of the ocean? (#7) It’s true! Scientists are working to make drones to explore the deep sea. Ocean Exploration is a developing science that incorporates the use of marine biology and drone technology. Ocean Exploration technology will be an overall benefit to society because 1. exploring the ocean is easier than before and 2. ocean exploration can help with monitoring the deep sea.

Sea World 's goals are to strengthen knowledge for youth about the ocean habitat and ecology of the marine lives, encourage the public about the marine biodiversity conservation and promote youth education and public awareness. Positioning Sea World as “teach through lively activities” is also a priority.

First, imagery is presented through vivid descriptions of the Nautilus, underwater scenery and biota, and the sunken city of Atlantis. Captain Nemo’s submarine, the Nautilus, is described in great detail throughout the book. For example, a bookcase is detailed in this quote, “Tall, black-rosewood bookcases, inlaid with copperwork,

Me? A Supreme Leader? Well this new universe is already going downhill, and I’m already making the sign of the cross. Let me introduce you to my wonderful utopia, welcome to Deepwater. For starters, a huge asteroid hit the Earth and wiped out a majority of the population, so this would be formed a hundred years later once the population went up to a reasonable number. It wouldn’t be hard to get everyone under my control, I’d just have to promise everything that they haven’t had since before the asteroid. If anyone didn’t agree, they would be killed off and their existence would be wiped from any mind or text. I’m only trying to save humanity from itself, I’m not power greedy, I just don’t want another close to extinct for the humans. Once I had everyone under my reins, I’d have to keep tabs on the population size. Meaning, no one could have kids until they had permission and any kid born would be casted off to another planet. For all I care, the aliens could have their way with them.

Everybody on earth needs and uses what is provided. Water is one of the main sources that we need. We are unable to drink ocean water because of the salt. This is where the Desalination comes in. Desalination is the process of removing salt from sea water so that it can be used for drinking and irrigation. I think that they should remove salt from sea water so that people can drink from the water.

Research makes life better. It gives humanity technology and medical progress. Research has improved the quality and length of human life. The world needs a place that gives us animals, water, plants, and all other things essential to life. There is only one place that carries all of these things. Ocean research is the path to a greater future.

Earth's oceans are dying. “About 80% of the ocean around the world is polluted with chemicals industrial and residential waste, all of which comes from the land” (“Marine Problems…”).  Pollution is mainly coming from the people. Marine pollution should be stopped because it is the cause of many problems and if something is done about it, people will see an increase in sea life and healthier waters. It makes its way into the ocean and kills marine life. Ocean pollution is affecting the way of fisherman and their everyday lives. It is also very bad on the community because pollution is very bad on tourism. Ocean pollution should be stopped because it is poorly affecting marine life, it is not good for fishermen, and is very bad on tourism.

I always dreamed of living in an underwater home far away - how exciting yet calming would it would be to wake up surrounded by fluorescent colored fish swimming in clear blue water? The reinvention of Walt Grace led to the creation of a submarine, while my reinvention is to be determined; Walt Grace's Submarine Test expresses my focus on obtaining my future goals.

There are four named oceans in the world: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic. Roughly 70% of the earth’s oxygen is produced by marine plants and only 27% by rainforests. Over 80% of ocean pollution comes from land based activity. This activity can include, but is not limited to, burning oil and not recycling plastics. With knowing those statistics, people should undoubtedly be more concerned with our ocean’s health and well being than what they currently are. Yes, there are a copious amount of websites that accept donations but there are other ways that do not involve breaking the bank to save and protect the oceans. By using reusable plastics, reducing our carbon footprint, and buying ocean-friendly products and food, the oceans dying process could not completely stop, but slow down drastically.

More and more people have been introduced to a very dangerous practice called shark-finning. Even the people who are aware of the harmful effects they bring still continue on doing it. People are afraid of sharks due to their fierce appearance and the bad publicity they get such as the movies wherein sharks attack humans. Only about 5 people are killed by sharks every year. In fact, vending machines has a higher death rate of 13, while ants can kill about 30 people annually. Sharks are very beneficial to us, why do people keep on harming them? Why is shark-finning so important? Shark-finning gives both advantages and disadvantages economically, politically, cultural, societal, and environmental. It is important to recognize the

I have a concern that I would like to see if you could address. The water from the water fountain in the Mini Gym outside the Wrestling Room does not flow very well. The water from the two nozzels separate as they come out, while they should flow together. One stream goes onto the floor sometimes, and the other almost does not come up to an appropriate height to drink out of without touching your lip to the mouthpiece. I think this issue needs to be resolved because athletes who are working hard need lots of water. People may also be waiting in line a long time to get water because you can only get so little, which is wasting valuable practice time. Some athletes may want a water bottle so they do not have to wait in line. But
