amount of CO2 had an impact on the environment, it is also affecting us in a relatively similar proportion. Now, instead of remaining only in our atmosphere where carbon emissions are depleting our ozone layer, it is also being soaked into the ocean leading to the increase of acidity. Yet, because of how quickly this change in acidity is occurring the impact will become bigger than it has been before. Cheryl A. Logan, Psychobiologist from the University of North Carolina, informs, “Many organisms use
Oceanography also called oceanology or marine science, is the branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge
solve the problem are not doing enough. Plastic is still continuously filling the water at increasing rates year and every year and by every single country. As more countries develop, more plastic is poured into the oceans. Due to human pollution, the marine ecosystem is
Everyday, fish are caught by the hundreds because of humans, which plays a major impact on marine life. As the the days, months, and years go by, marine life within the oceans becomes less healthy due to overfishing by humans. Overfishing has been occurring for decades and if it continues to happen at such a great rate, fish in the ocean will become endangered or even extinct. “Close to 90 percent of the world's marine fish stocks are now fully exploited, overexploited or depleted” (“Time is
underwater world takes on a new persona as its inhabitants are magnified through my goggles. Bubbles float up past my head as I slowly and deeply breathe through my regulator while keeping my body neutrally buoyant to prevent myself from touching the marine life below. My fins cut through the water as they attempt to propel me against the strong ocean current over large kelp forests. Fish of all shapes and sizes swim up to investigate who I am and what I am doing in their underwater world. I was lucky
These plastic bits are so small it is almost impossible for fish and other marine life to distinguish them between plankton, which many fish and other larger animals such as whales eat (Great Pacific Garbage Patch). Many animals are consuming this trash ultimately leading to their death. For example loggerhead sea turtles it is common for them to mistake plastic grocery bags as their favorite food, which is jellyfish (Great
Out of my time in the Marine Corps I have come to notice that my though process has become almost autonomous. Many people know the Marine Corps has a strict command structure however, we operate using a very decentralized system. I would have to say that due to this my strongest characteristic would be Intellectual autonomy which is defined as willingness and ability to think for oneself. The ability to make decisions for my self and my Marines not only gives a more direct link and quicker reaction
that these new technologies will help clean up our plastic pollution, save endangered marine life and contributing to climate change. The new technologies will help to help track
all washed away. All signs of any marine life, habitats, and source of food all vanished. The public does not quite understand the importance of the environment under the water. Our ecosystem revolves around our well-being and what we contribute to maintain its healthy status. If not properly treated, losses of habitats and species are a very huge concern. Coral Reefs are not just targeted or damaged by just pollution. There are many different causes all leading up to the same main point, in which
detailed and sufficient information relating to the effects of marine debris and the entanglement that happens to the ocean’s animals. The report done by NOAA’s Marine Debris Programs gives amazing information to help argue my opinion in the future, since it is referring to debris and animals. The information regarding the effects of marine species in marine pollution, specifically pinnipeds is stated in the report about how many marine animals are being entangled by the pollution humans are creating
