Gulf of Maine

Our guest speaker was Haul Romer. He is an offshore diver and works at the Gulf of Mexico. When he was in seventh or eighth grade, he was questioned about college but of course like any other child he was unsure. Romer was a C average student. His family didn’t have enough money to go to college, so he didn’t attend. His first job was as a Lobsterman in Maine. He worked for ten dollars an hour, but he loved it so much he would’ve done it for free. He has worked several positions at several different

Throughout history, American perception of the causes of the Spanish-American War of 1898 has shifted drastically. As new facts and first-hand accounts come to light in the years following its events, historians have more information to make assessments, and as a result there are clear differences in the writings of three historians in three different points of time. Shortly after the events of the Spanish-American War, the blame of the war was mostly placed on the Cubans, with a focus on military

vehicles of any kind along with no structures in the wilderness areas. Also, emissions from the surrounding area must be controlled so as not to disrupt visibility within the wilderness areas.

Not until the Gulf of Tonkin Incident would a trigger to war be so scrutinized and clouded in mystery as the destruction of the USS Maine. Over one hundred years later there is still a debate over what caused the explosion on the Maine and ultimately led the United States to war with Spain. The debate of the USS Maine’s destruction is over whether the explosion came from inside the ship, the internal explosion theory, or came from an outside the ship, the external explosion theory. Most of these

against Spain, an empire that was over 400 years old (GLEIJESES, 2003, p 681) Many factors contributed to the Spanish -American War, but in my opinion, no single event is to blame for this war. Although many credit the destruction of the warship “Maine” as the primary cause for this war it is important to mention several previous events that led to a gradual accumulation of a war spirit in American society. Because of the U.S. intervention in Cuba and winning the war, America became a superpower

listing status near New York (80 FR 51763 51764, August 26, 2015). They are found in the shallow waters (except during migration) of shoals, bays, lagoons reefs, and inlets, often where submerged aquatic vegetation exists, from Maine south to Florida, and throughout the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea (USFWS 2015n, 2015o; NOAA 2015e). Green sea turtles nests are not present in New York; however, they occasionally are found stranded on or near the shore (NYSDEC 2015ad). Breeding takes places in

Environmental history of the oceans and seas are daunting topics, either because of the vastness of the oceans and seas, the artificial boundaries, or their seemingly changelessness. Until about 1990, with Arthur McEvoy’s The Fisherman’s Problem: Ecology and the Law in California Fisheries, 1850-1980, historians largely ignored marine ecosystems as areas of research. Focusing instead on inland fisheries, environmental historians have still had to be “exhorted… to embrace this opportunity” of expanding

lobsters are more expensive in New England before the summer arrival. This summer, lobsters could come a little earlier. The mass production would bring the price down. In the last two years, the consumer price is in the range of $8 to $12 per pound in Maine; the biggest lobster producer in the U.S.. Prices are different from country to country, but the arrival of New England’s lobsters will most likely lower prices nationwide. Prices would fall every year in the summer since countless of lobsters reach

What was known as Louisiana Territory extended from the Mississippi River in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west, and from the Gulf of Mexico in the south to the Canadian outskirt in the north. Part or all of 15 states were in the long run made from the land bargain, which is viewed as a standout amongst the most critical accomplishments of Thomas Jefferson's administration. The Louisiana Purchase had added tremendous new regions to the U.S.A., and a choice must be made about which regions

around the globe. Oil refineries are dispersed throughout the world and throughout the United States, but what makes one location better suited for a refinery than another? Many refineries are located close to crude oil production centers such as the Gulf Coast (which has significant volumes of crude oil produced both onshore and offshore); near destinations for importing crude oil; or near major population centers where much of the refineries ' output will be needed (e.g., California and the areas
