Throwing Our Planet in the Garbage It is something that we all have heard about. The horrific challenges we face with plastic overwhelming our oceans have created an awful picture in all of our minds at one time or another, but have you ever thought about whether or not all of our oceans are being affected? What about how much garbage is accumulating in our precious oceans and the effects that accumulation is having on us. These are questions I have always been particularly intrigued in finding

pollution, focusing on plastic, in the marine environment. The best place to be is next to the sea where tired feet gladly greet, sand so soft and white. The taste of salty air, a cool breeze blowing through untied hair, Warmth all around, from the sun beaming down, against a backdrop of majestic blue. Hear the birds sing, the waves crashing, And know one thing is true. The ocean is drowning in a sea of plastic, Before long marine life will be in a casket. The beauty of the beach will be no more

from home can be hard, but imagine what it would be like if it was to a harsh sea or under a giant tree. In the two poems we will be dissecting, you will see how these two different situations have a lot in common. In one of the oldest poems known in the world, The Seafarer was written long by an unknown author. Throughout the poem we see how the man takes his exile emotionally and physically, all the while he sails the sea and world. He goes to other countries and shows how on his missions he sees

The heartbreaking viral video of one Olive Ridley turtle getting a straw removed from its nose made headlines, http://www.care2.com/causes/researchers-pull-plastic-straw-out-of-sea-turtles-nose-in-heartbreaking-effort-to-help.html but the sad truth is the entire species is crying out SOS. The turtles don't need to be saved from plastic -- they need to be saved from poachers. After centuries of overexploitation, Mexico is enlisting the help drones and marines to save the turtles in the beaches of

Marine waste has been a problem for some time now. However, it has recently become an issue that is in need of attention. As stated in the article Plastic Island, Midway Atoll is covered in many corpses of dead birds. When researchers examined the carcases, they found that the cause of death was the fact that the birds consumed pieces of plastic, causing malnutrition. 64% of waste in the ocean is created from shoreline and recreational activities (Marine Debris is Everyone’s Problem). Thousands of

hurt them and had the power to determine whether they lived or died at sea. The action of blaming a superior being for a catastrophe can be symbolism of naturalism. Another example can be when the four sailors were asking fate or God why they would die after going so far and not giving up, "If I am going to be drowned--if I am going to be drowned--if I am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea, was I allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees?"

There are many careers out there in this world. The career that is the most interesting is Oceanology. This is based on the ocean. Oceanology is when you study artifacts and marine life. People will have to learn courses in the physical science,not so much of chemistry and physics though. Includes both teachers primarily engaged in teaching and those who do a combination of teaching and research. There are so many things some people would do as an Oceanologist. People will Compile, administer,

By the year 2050 plastic bottles will outnumber fish in the ocean. Last year a study by the National Academy of Sciences showed that there are over five trillion pieces of plastic currently littering the ocean. Many people believe that throwing away plastic would have negligible impact on humans and animals, this is untrue. Thousands of birds, turtle, seals, fish, and other marine animals die every after entangling themselves in or consuming the tons of plastic currently in the ocean. Plastic is

Man Eating Animals Information on the man eating animals and kinds of animals. The man eating ocean Piranha it can rip you to shreds in less than 30 seconds.

The next killer fish is the man eating viperfish it has huge clear teeth, creepy eyes and skin and can rip you apart in less than 5

impacts on our environment and our economy. Seabirds, whales, sea turtles and other marine life are eating marine plastic pollution and dying from choking, intestinal blockage and starvation. Scientists are investigating the long-term impacts of toxic pollutants absorbed, transported, and consumed by fish and other marine life, including the potential effects on human health. What it means to you Plastic pollution affects every waterway, sea and ocean in the world. When we damage our water
