specific profession that I wanted to partake as an adult. I believe that becoming a marine biologist would be the best way to fulfill my dream. My strength and passion for science will naturally help me to be a strong and dedicated student to further my studies. I am hoping to pursue and minor in oceanography as well. I think oceanography would be an excellent minor to have—as a person that looks at the ocean as a marine wildlife sanctuary. This minor will advance the knowledge of a biologist to understand

into the water and polluting our world’s beautiful oceans. People incautiously toss their trash into the ocean or to the sidewalks as if it is a giant trash can. It is causing the oceans to become dirtier every year. Speaking on the bottom half of marine life and people everywhere, nobody wants to swim in water with used straws, crinkled up wrappers, or old deflated balloons. Not only is it un-enjoyable, but it is taking an animal’s life everyday. Many of you have probably watched the movies, read

While this strange thing called nitro coffee has reportedly been out in the world since 2012, many people still haven't heard of it. The founder of Cuvee Coffee in Austin claims to be the first business to serve nitro coffee in their shops. He also claims to be the first coffeeshop to debut nitro cans. Even if you've heard of nitro coffee, here are a few things you might not know about this new take on a classic beverage. If this is your first glimpse into the world of nitro coffee, be ready for

When I was nine years old, my second grade science teacher introduced me to my first marine biology book, called What Lives in the Sea. From what they ate to how they looked, the book taught me so much about fish and ignited my passion for science. As a child, watching Animal Planet and Discovery could only teach me so much. I soon moved beyond the water and became interested in the land, the mountains, and the plains. My mind probed father still. From the synchronized movements of schools

Humans rely on the ocean because it helps it rain, and without rain or any other precipitation the whole world would be in a drought and we wouldn’t have any water. We also rely on marine life because we eat seafood as a good source of protein and if most or all of the marine life dies off, we will have to find another source for protein other than meats or protein powders. The ocean is also a huge source of rain and other precipitation. If the oceans are more trash than water

What is an Endangered Species? An Endangered Species is defined as “a species at risk of extinction because of human activity, changes in climate, and/or changes in predator-prey ratios” (Dictionary.com). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) has the responsibility of keeping the records of all endangered species. In order to be recognized as an endangered species, the following questions must be answered: “Has a large percentage of the species vital habitat been degraded or destroyed? Has

Imagine walking along the beach in Hawaii and as you walk among a group of rocks that are coming out of the ocean you notice a sea turtle sunbathing. This is not a good place to snorkel or swim, but as it turns out it is a great place for turtles to sunbathe and eat near the rocks. As you watch the sea turtle turn around and scoot into the ocean, you wade in after it, snapping picture after picture as a bale of turtles came towards you. Suddenly you are surrounded by at least ten turtles all rubbing

Although he himself would never admit it, especially not while in the company of General O 'Docharty, he has always detested Base 631. Hated it with a passion. Despising the fact that men who should have been rightly put on trial, by a licensed and competent judge, were instead brought hundreds of feet below Lancashire. Their former lives erased, along with their crimes. I could really punch him sometimes, were the words that thudded through his mind when the gun first emerged from his jacket and

to “conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.” Targets 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5 and 14.a, aim to improve the health and sustainability of marine ecosystems by a specified date, and avoid adverse impacts to the environment by addressing specific kinds of marine pollution. These are measurable in so far that it is scientifically possible to quantify nutrient pollution, ocean acidity, marine debris, biodiversity etc., across space and time, as

coral reefs that home thousands of species of fish, and the tiny plankton that exist under the surface. Mankind has created a vicious cycle in which allows our waste to be ingested, trapped around living beings, and pollute the water quality that all marine life depends on. Ever since its first mass production beginning in 1930’s plastic has had an impact on climate change as well as waste production. ("Plastics History." Plastics History) Plastic is made from oil. Oil is a carbon-rich raw material
