Sea Monsters Halla invites me in. The house already seems different, even smells different. Sea air has been allowed to seep into the corners, inflating the rooms with a salty freshness. There is a vase of tulips on the kitchen table. The curtains are tied neatly together with orange ribbon. In the uncluttered space, an old inked sketch of a puffin sits renewed in a white frame on the window sill. Gjúki's trove of brass bells no longer straddle the mantelpiece but spill out of a box beside the door to the kitchen. His woollen Mackinaw coat is missing from its peg, though his boots still stand at attention in their spot directly beneath. Halla offers me coffee from an enamel pot, telling me she doesn't keep any alcohol at home anymore. She takes off her apron, sits down at the table and looks past me, out of the window where two gulls hang in the breeze. I take small sips from my cup and ponder how to begin. My tentativeness fosters an unease around which the silence thickens and …show more content…
Gjúki once said that he had built it himself, but this was untrue, his father had been born here. Little by little, he had added to it, building a firewood shelter, a hut for the creels and half a boat shed nearer the shore, all painted the same noisy yellow as the outside of the house. Gjúki had told me that nothing in the ocean was yellow, so the spirits of the sea would not mistakenly come unannounced. That had been our thing, sea monsters. It could be hard to be on the boat, maybe days at a time with only the sky and an ocean for distraction. People can be just like the weather; overcast, unsettled, sullen and sometimes Gjúki would withdraw into his own pensive mist. Adrift in difficult conditions. I could usually tell straight away if a trip was going to be a good one or not, if he was up or down. Whenever morale was slipping, I would bring up the sea
Akira sat in the hall of records for the hundredth time this week. She was combing over the scant records of the ship that came to be known as Bloodshed. Few records of this ship even remained, but Akira was determined to not only piece together her last days on the high seas but also where she rested now. The last know sighting of the notorious pirate ship was in the waters somewhere between Greenland and Iceland but it was entirely possible that she’d limped further south closer to Newfoundland or somewhere in the Laborador Sea.

The Sea of Monsters received almost positive reviews of every reader because its appropriate phasing of the storyline, the creative of the themes, and the author's style of writing. At first, the story is set in the realistic world with the characters at the teenagers ages, and the readers possess a character at their ages that they can relate to is a smart way to get them interested.

The Sea Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is an eel-shaped fish with a skeleton made of cartilage, not bone. Lamprey typically grow up to 30cm in length, weighing up to 2.5kg. Their coloring varies from brown, gray, or black on its back and white and gray on their underside. They are easily identified by their wide circular sucker mouth that is filled with numerous small teeth. The lamprey use their mouth, to attach themselves to a wide variety of fish, in which they feed from. Lamprey do not have any paired fins, but they have both a dorsal and ventral fin. They are also, scaleless, have a pair of functional eyes, and seven gill openings.

At the young age of twenty-six he suffered an accident while diving into shallow waters of the ocean that left him a quadriplegic. Now at the age of fifty-four, Ramon must depend on his family to survive. His older brother Jose, Jose’s wife, Manuela and their son Javi do their best to take care of Ramon and make him feel loved. Although Ramon is extremely grateful to his family and friends for their help all these years, he has come to see his life as aggravating and unsatisfying. He wishes to die with the little dignity he has left in his life. However, Ramon’s family is dead set against the thought of assisted suicide and the
Scotland’s seabirds have experienced a massive drop in availability of one of their major food sources, the sand eel. This eel is the food of choice for many species of scotland’s birds, including the European shag and the puffin, and the Center for Ecology and Hydrology has recorded a drop of 48% of sand eels from the diets of these seabirds between 1985 and 2014. Researchers think this drop is the result of climate change and the rapidly rising ocean temperatures in the region. The North Sea’s temperature has risen by 0.037 degrees C per year since 1982, and is expected to continue to rise, which coincides with the seen decrease in sand eels. While the sand eels have declined from the diet of these birds, other fish species have increased.

The magically magnified shouts of his grandmother woke Talisman from the warm daze he had been enjoying by the creek. He heaved a deep breath in, and rolled over onto his side to admire the beautifully pigmented fish gilding through the crystal-clear water.
“Splish! Splash!” The sound of bottlenose dolphins jumping and swimming around their tank excites a family at SeaWorld as they wait to experience their first encounter with the dolphins. Every year, bottlenose dolphins bring joy to hundreds of people in both captivity and the wild, but what do people truly know about them? Bottlenose dolphins are actually unique and interesting creatures.
The research question that I chose to investigate was: Is it possible for mermaids to exist? I chose to do this because there seems to have been a lot of different controversies on the topic before the semester started. I am supporting the claim that it is possible for mermaids to exist. The main reasons for supporting the claim, is because there are similarities in humans and aquatic mammals, there is a gap in the evolutionary fossil record, and there are mysterious findings and recordings of mermaids. The three counter arguments that I am going to address are there is a previously accepted theory called the Savannah Theory (ST), the gap in the evolutionary fossil record does not prove anything, and there is no undisputable proof
A few years ago on a hot summer day, a short Asian boy stared at the sky at disbelief. A roller coaster loomed over him, and the shadow of it cast over his face. In a few hours later, he found himself strapped into a seat on the ride, terrified to death. And that short Asian boy turned out to be me.
'Me and Clog roamed the streets for days, searching for scraps of food and a dry place to sleep. Eventually, we stumbled into a soup kitchen. From there, a warden took us to the police station, and a few days later, they found my next of kin - Harry Jewel. I’d never met him before and Mummy never spoke of him.'
