Plastic in the ocean A large number of marine species are known to be harmed and/or killed by plastic debris, which jeopardize their survival, since many are already endangered by other forms of anthropogenic activities. Marine animals are affected through entanglement in and ingestion of plastic litter (Marine Debris). Less conspicuous forms, such as plastic pellets and “scrubbers” are also hazardous. To address the problem of plastic debris in the oceans is a difficult task, and a variety of approaches
Management of Offshore Supply Vessel Introduction The research proposed herein examines the utilization of existing platform supply vessel and specifically maximizing its usage.

Academy offers eight academic majors. Out of those eight, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering stuck out as a discipline that related most to the Coast Guard. The Major itself dives into the design, stability, and structures of ships. These three components of a ship have been around for over two hundred years, since the birth of the Revenue Cutter Service on August 4 th , 1790. Without Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, the Coast Guard would not be able to complete its missions and figure
Law of the Seas Memo Marine Langreney History The freedom of the seas doctrine was created in the 17th century as a means to control rights over ocean space. The doctrine assigned national rights to areas controlled by limited belts, with the remaining being assigned as a public space, free to all nations. By the mid-20th century, technology became more advanced and the ocean’s resources became vulnerable to the innovations. Rising conflicts occurred over ocean reserves, from decreasing fish stocks
11 December 2014 Impact of Marine Debris on Sea and Land Marine habitats throughout the world are severely affected by man-made items of debris and solid waste; marine debris contaminates the environment, as well as impacting the economy, and the safety of humans and their health. The extent of the impacts is dictated by the type of marine debris and the location of which it settles in the ocean; whether it be floating, submerged or within a delicate habitat. Marine debris can be viewed as any persistent
part of the key to the ecosystem of itself. A gentle creature that has been hunted for its blubber, oils produced in the blubber, and for scientific research. Rampant whaling caused the population of many whale species to decrease. These marine mammals dwindled to the point they were in danger of becoming extinct: “One of the most endangered of all marine mammals, the North Atlantic right whale currently hovers at a population of around 500” (Finch). The International Whaling Commission (IWC) imposed
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the study are as follows: • To study the impact of shipping on the global environment. • To study the causes and measures of shipping in mitigating the environment pollution. 4. METHODOLOGY: The researcher has used the data and information which are already available. Based on the requirements of the current research and also based the specifications of the regulatory bodies of the world, the causes and measures of shipping in mitigating the environment pollution
River Padma, the biggest and most turbulent river of Bangladesh, is around twenty kilometers from my village where I grew up listening about the accidents of Steamer sinking (one kind of vessel that made locally and used to cross the river) from my childhood. In later years I also had some real acute experience of Steamer accidents. Every year around thousands of people lost their lives because of these accidents which take place for several times in each year. Crossing river Padma is must for the
Cruise pollution in the Caribbean Tara Mason Monroe College February 5, 2017 Abstract It is widely argued that Marine Pollution is becoming a highly-debated topic as this industry makes billions of dollars without attention to the marine life. It therefore stands to reason that the United Nations are taking a great interest in getting countries to at least look at local legislation to govern their territorial waters. Using a report from 2002, examining these unsolicited contributions
people dying in front of me made me seriously rethink- how can we resolve this problem? This question drove me to choose Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME) as my major in university level and having the opportunity to be a student of the Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) was a great achievement for me. Having said that marine accidents pushed me always to
