The Causes of Marine Life Extinction Does anyone realize that more than 90 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct? According to Avaneesh Pandey, the author of “Humans Pushing Marine Life toward ‘Major Extinction’”,nearly 10,000 species become extinct each year, and this rate is estimated to be 1,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate (1). Human beingsare causing irreversible damage to the oceans and their wildlife, which is being led bytwo major reasons: commercial…

The complex mind of a seventeen -year -old kid isn’t always the most lucid of the bunch. It is faced with a variety of crucial life decisions throughout this time period.

These effects are particular with the environment and a number…

excursions to go on, but most them were boring. They were all about observing dull colored shapes float around in a body of water with weird blobs on the ground. Animal and plant life on land would be so much more entertaining than the snorkeling excursion my mom had chosen. I had convinced myself that marine life was boring and that tomorrow wasn’t going to be any fun. It’s finally morning and I’m at the mercy of the Sun! I feel my skin blazing under the intense heat of the Sun. Isn’t my sunscreen…

preventable. Sharks, sea turtles, whales, dolphins and birds are just fraction of the marine life that are suffering because they are becoming sick or are dying of starvation. Their food sources are diminishing or disappearing as the cycle of destruction continues on down to the tiny, minute plankton that are the core of the food chain in the ocean. Contamination is causing the sudden increase of marine life deaths in the Pacific Ocean. The most recent reports of dead sea animals found washed…

effect on marine life. “5.25 trillion plastic particles weighing some 269,000 tons are floating on the surface of the sea” (Seltenrich). In Seltenrich’s article, “The World Bank estimates that 1.4 billion tons of trash are generated globally each year, 10% of it plastic.” “Plastics that reach the ocean will gradually break down into ever-smaller pieces due to sunlight exposure, oxidation, and the physical action of waves, currents, and grazing by fish and birds.” (Seltenrich). A marine life that is…

Oceans occupy 75% of earth’s surface and is a home for millions of species that live under water. There exists another world under the ocean. According to FMAP (Future of Marine Animal Populations), a project of the International census of Marine Life (2000 - 2010) aimed at describing the distribution and diversity of marine life, it is predicted that out of 8.7 million species that live on earth, 2.1 million live on Earth [1]. It is estimated that over 1 million undiscovered species are living in…

It is possible that in our lifetime many marine life forms will be on the verge of extinction or placed on the extinct animals list. This loss of marine life will be placed mainly because of the actions of human advancements and achievements using fossil fuels as energy.. With the loss of these micro organisms large animals will not have enough food to survive. This would create problems in our social and economic life. As humans we rely on the oceans for almost everything. Much of our food , clothing…

The study of life is as interesting as life itself whether the creatures that we study walk on land, fly in the air, or swim in the ocean. Marine biology encompasses the ones that make the seven seas their home. It is the study and appreciation of marine life and their environments. From the sandy beaches to the ocean depths, from the tropical reefs to the polar ice caps, much of the life on earth thrives in the ocean, which affects us on land, too. It is understandable why we, as scientists, explorers…
