Chukchi Sea

dumped a lot of chemical warfare into the sea, believing the type of gas will dissolve in the water becoming harmless in minutes. At that time, fishermen were able to catch a lot of fish, it wasn’t until they were out of luck and all they could see were dead fish floating on the surface. Many people think that oil spills and trash are the only types of ocean pollution, but they’re also forgetting about chemical, bacterial and thermal pollution. Polluted seas can be the cause of many diseases or infections

The overcast, gloomy sky cast an ominous atmosphere over the makeshift boat, while the water gently ebbed at it. Ren and the Emissary stepped out of the vessel, the latter coughing uncontrollably at the cold. After a while, the Emissary palmed a coin into Ren’s hand and started towards the faint glimmer of what seemed to be a lighthouse in the distance. Ren stared at her as she determinedly made her way towards the mysterious structure. Inside the lighthouse, the Emissary discovered a plethora of

amount of resources. It is easy to think that the big blue is man's friend. Though with ninety-five percent of the ocean unexplored, it is easy to think that it is more than sandy beaches and volleyball. Stories such as “The Sea Devil” and “Edward’s Rocks” express the idea that the sea, as beautiful as it is, can also be equally as powerful and mysterious. Though stories share similarities they also have differences between their protagonist, conflict, and settings. The two stories have many similarities

Is The Boys In The Boat a window or a mirror? As I read pages 1-3, I understood that the hardships of Joe Rantz were engraved within his mind and brought him to tears whenever he thought about it and “the boat”. First, as i read this section, Joe talks about having to be on the water on cold nights for a long time to practice. Although this statement didn’t move him to tears, just by reading it, it opens up a new outlook i had on olympic activities back in the 1930’s. My initial thought about the

looked at as weak and petite, but deep in her heart she knew she was strong. Hydor excelled as a young water nymph and her powers over water were substantial. She desired to be a god like her hero, Poseidon. As the daughter of Merella, the queen of the sea, Hydor never thought that she would be anything more than just a princess.     Hydor awoke from her slumber and took her morning swim throughout the underwater kingdom. A sparkle in the distance caught her eye and she rushed towards it. It was a heart

Scientists have always said that nothing will last forever. The ocean is slowly dying and people need to be aware of it. Plastic is harming marine animals, sea creachers are going extinct everyday yet no one really cares if the ocean dies in the next hundred years. Everybody knows how bad plastic bags are. A plastic bag has an average working life of 15 minutes and yet world leaders do nothing about it. Plastic harms the ocean and everything in it. National Geographic says that over eight-million

What is Marine Debris? Every potato chip bag thrown on the floor, every balloon released into the air, and every gum wrapper discarded on the sidewalk has an affect on our planet. In the short term we view these acts as miniscule and irrelevant, but what most of us fail to understand is that every act of pollution has a snowball effect that only harms us and our environment. Unfortunately, most of the plastic waste we throw on the floor ends up on our beaches, in our waterways, and in our oceans

that the man is not exiled directly in the ways people have been exiled in the other poems, however being stuck on a ship is in many ways quite similar to being exiled from your homeland. Numerous passages in this poem show this mans painful life at sea. The one that stands out most greatly to me is this passage;

From plastic sacks to pesticides - the greater part of the waste we deliver ashore inevitably achieves the seas, either through purposeful dumping or from keep running off through channels and waterways. This includes:Oil spills cause colossal harm to the marine environment - yet actually are in charge of just around 12% of the oil entering the oceans every year. By study by the US National Research Council, 36% descends channels and waterways as waste and spillover from urban communities and industry

but also their oceans. Birds, fish, and other animals are being affected by plastic pollution, it is destroying their habitats and therefore eradicating their homes. In the article ,“Trashing the Oceans,” Thomas Hayden discusses how it has affected sea creatures: The Alguita
