My hometown Bergenfield, New Jersey is like many cities in the north. Bergenfield is full of rich history and great food for visitors to partake in. The growth of Bergenfield began slow with small residents and then later started to form its own with the help of the state of New Jersey and New York helping to build the George Washington Bridge. When Bergenfield was discovered on June 25, 1894 by a railroad company the city was laid out as Bergen Fields stamped on the tickets. Modern day Bergenfield

The content of television shows today ranges from the highly probable to the highly bizarre. Characters are often put into scenarios that are either extremely realistic or totally outlandish. But no matter what the content there is something for everyone and the public keeps watching. In this day, a viewer can instantly switch from watching an hour long quasi-reality show that studies the lives of promiscuous 20-somethings on the Jersey shore to a 30 minute mockumentary that focuses on the not-so-monotonous

plastic waste we throw on the floor ends up on our beaches, in our waterways, and in our oceans. Especially in Florida, where everyone is at most 45 mins from the beach, it is not difficult for trash to find its way to our oceans. Marine debris, ocean trash or ocean pollution, regardless of its many names the rhetoric still stands; every piece of litter has a ripple effect that ultimately makes it to our oceans. What are the challenges with Marine Debris? Causes: The causes for Marine Debris are

For my service event, I attended a beach cleanup event in Indianola, which is in Kitsap County. When I arrived, I met with twenty other participants and received instructions from a local community member. We were given gloves, large orange plastic bags, smaller plastic bags, and flags. The larger bags were for the garbage we collected, the smaller bags were for recyclable items (such as aluminum cans and glass bottles), and the flags were for needles and similar items that we could not collected

My home town is Ocean Township, New Jersey. It is located in eastern central Monmouth County. It is 11.1 square miles. It is made up of several different subsections named Wayside, Wanamassa, Colonial Terrace, West Allenhurst, West Deal, Oakhurst, Shadowlawn Manor, Elberon Park and Wayside. Within these communities it has a population of over 27,000 residents. Ocean Township today is a suburban community. Although it has the name Ocean, it no longer borders the Atlantic but it still within a mile

There are many job opportunities out there in the world, but one popular career is being a Game Warden. This job combines two of wonderful activities, being in the outdoors, and more power than a police officer. There are many responsibilities and interesting facts that come with being a Game Warden. Most people when they hear Game Warden may think of someone that comes to check their hunting or fishing license now and then. When in reality, Game Wardens go out and will fight forest fires, go out

region and tourism, tourism has been a big economic boost, especially in Ocean City. With the number of businesses that keep coming in and growing, the tourism traffic has spread to West Ocean City. The city “is a driving force in Maryland’s tourism industry” (McSwingan Mdbiznews.commerce.maryland.gov). Worcester County, where Ocean City is located at, holds the largest tourism segment. In 2011, $36 million was made from the county, going a few years forward and pushing the state’s overall tourism economy

organizations that specialized in environmental causes went to ocean advocacy. Meaning there was no organization working entirely to protect and strengthen the oceans on a global state. The founders realized that they needed to fill the gap. There Oceana was created, an international organization focused entirely on oceans itself. Oceana is dedicated to achieve change by operating science-based campaigns with clear goals. Oceana joined forces with The Ocean Law Project in 2001.

expected to cost $1 billion. One acre-foot can only serve two average homes per year, meaning that desalination will only meet 7% of San Diego’s annual water needs. 7% is not worth it. 7% will do nothing but damage the oceans and ocean life. Think about it this way: say that a county has 150 homes in it (which isn’t even a close number, by the way). Now take those 150 homes and multiply that by 2,257. The total is 338,550, meaning it will take approximately $350,000 to supply these homes with only

Impact on Coastal Zones: Planning for Sea Level Rise in the Matanzas Basin (168-226): Sea-level rise will cause many issues among human development as well as different species. The article established many regions in Flagler and St. Johns County which presents future trends on outcomes from species degradation or housing development/population. The maps range from St. Augustine Shores to Palm Coast. It tells about the areas which would be either highly migrated species (as they lost their
