Ocean City

society, one of the main problems we face is pollution. The role of plastic playing in the daily lives of people is interminable. The main problem with plastic is that it is tossed into the ocean and that it can travel long distances with the currents and winds. Marine animals and other animals that depend on the ocean for sustenance wind up eating the trash thinking that it’s food. This is especially true for plastic trash (Parker, 2015). For those of us who live on the coast, a mere walk on the beach

The city of Long Beach has approximately 7 miles of public beaches all through out the city. Due to the mild climate thousands of residents and tourists visit the beaches and bays. The beaches are one of the cities most popular attractions; so this raises the concern of what the water quality is like at the beaches and bays. Roughly every week the Health Department’s Environmental Health Water Quality Monitoring Program collects samples of water and analyzes them to determine the quality of the water

Every year, millions of tons of plastic are tossed into the ocean, harming all types of marine animals as well as the environment. Hundreds of marine mammals like whales and dolphins are found washed ashore filled with bottle caps, plastic bags and basically anything they can swallow. Not only does plastic pollution harm marine life, but it affects the entire ecosystem. If a predator is dependent on a certain species for prey and the predator has a role in the environment, it is important for the

bottles of water. That is enough to wrap around the earth over 190 times. Global warming is a growing problem because humans are eliminating trash improperly, car fumes are affecting the quality of air, and because of improper oil disposal in the oceans. The pollution levels have been increasing lately.Pollution is the dumping of waste or any harmful substance that can have a negative effect on the environment.Examples consist of the BP oil spill when tons of oil was spilled into the waters

Family Vacation to Myrtle Beach I remember the first time I stepped on to ocean beach sand! Swoosh Swoosh, the sounds of ocean waves crashing into the lightly brown smooth sand on the beach. I remember the soft, smooth sand seeping through the cracks of my toes! The sun was beating down from the blue sky. Heat waves moved across the sand as I looked out into the deep blue ocean! It was all so beautiful! Thats when I knew this was going to be the greatest vacation ever! I knew that my family and

150,000 tons of plastic are littered into our ocean each year, yet we do nothing to stop it. Plastic is capable of being deformed continuously and permanently in any direction without rupture, making it almost impossible for the plastic to disintegrate. Our population uses plastic for almost everything, once these objects are used they are left in the street, beaches, and other places, natural sources then carry the objects into the oceans. There, the plastic becomes stuck in currents, where it takes

For my city I chose Chicago. I chose this because I really like the city, it is close to home and it is the least vulnerable to climate change. Chicago is located in the Midwest. It is one of the largest city in the United States with a population almost at 3 million. Chicago is a huge city and a metropolitan area that stretches over 10,874km². As the center of the Midwest, Chicago is easy to find. This city sits right on Lake Michigan. It has lots of iconic sights and neighborhoods. Climate change

The ocean it covers over 70 percent of the earth’s surface and more than 500 million people go to its surface during the summer yet we have not seen 95 percent of the surface in detail. This is where oceaogahers come into play. An oceanographer is someone who studies the ocean whether it is to find a pocket of oil deep in the ocean or to find new species of fish deep down in the sea or the migratory patterns of fish for fishermen to be able to catch that type of fish all year. Not many public
