Iguanas are a types of lizards. It can be found in Mexico, Central and South America, the Galápagos Islands, the Caribbean islands, Fiji and Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa. Iguanas have strong jaws with razor-sharp teeth and sharp tails, which make up half their body length and can be used as whips to drive off predators. They can also detach their tails if caught and will grow another without permanent damage. Iguanas usually prefere to live alone. Life span is from 4 to 60 years

This report is focused on Ocean acidification and it’s lowering of seawater PH levels that results from a continuing in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. There are potentially adverse biological and ecological consequences occurring now and in the future results of this process. Ocean acidification refers to the increase of CO2 (carbon dioxide) within the atmosphere, which triggers a reaction which in turn increases the acidity of the ocean. Ocean acidification is caused by carbon dioxide admissions

Toulong Herr Wed 3:00pm-5:50pm SALAS What’s in a voice? Dolphins do not us voice cues for individual recognition August 8 2017 Dolphins lacked voice cues which may have led to how they learned to use distinct signature whistles. Dolphins use these distinct signature whistles to recognize each other. The researchers study was on the bottlenose dolphins in the Sarasota Bay, Florida, USA. They were looking for if dolphins react to the sounds of signature whistles from other dolphins. If they

Coral reef ecosystems are heavily affected by land based pollution in both the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Triangle. When agricultural run-off and chemicals enter waterways, the polluted water eventually makes its way to coral reef catchments. This causes damage to many coral reefs which can lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem. In the Great Barrier Reef, the debris of sediments, nutrients and pesticides used for farming purposes pollute the water which causes damage to many coral and seagrass

Eck Ocean Climate Change Issues When I think about the effects for global warming I think the idea that most people think about is what its doing to the climate. Not the other issues at hand, whether it be the melting of the ice caps or how it affects ecosystems. An important issue that I think really matters that other people don’t understand is what affect does climate change have on the oceans. The world is covered in about 70% water and climate change must have a large impact on the ocean in

currently floating in the world’s oceans (“Plastic Pollution in the World's Oceans” par. 17). Given that ocean pollution is in such an advanced stage, my research question is this, is it too late or impossible to remove a majority of plastics from the oceans? Although the design and production of large scale ocean clean up equipment is still in it’s infancy, my thesis will be centric to idea that through this equipment, it is not too late to efficiently clean the oceans. Through faith in the machinery

Today was the start of my journey to America. The boat leaves around noon so in a couple of hours. What I'm bringing with me is mainly all my clothes and important stuff. I cant bring much because you cant take a lot of things. I can see the boat now so ill be getting on it soon. So far the boat is very crowded there is over 2,000 people with me right now. The captain just made a announcement that we will be arriving shortly to Ellis Island so now I'm a little nervous about no making it in the

Until the waves crashed against my ankles, the cold yet refreshing water sent me into shock, which reassured me for than anything else that my family could retreat to its original form similar to the waves retreating back to the ocean and be together for a day and spend time together in harmony, no arguments, no facades, and no disruptions. It was real and that’s all I ever

Bighead carp is one of the most economically important freshwater filter-feeding fish in Asia. It constitutes the majority of carp aquaculture production in China, yielding an annual production of 3,253,143 tons as of 2014 (FAO, Fish stat, 2014). Bighead carp can tolerate extreme changes in water temperature ranging from those normally found in cold, temperate as well as those in tropical climates. The maximum temperature in which Bighead carp can survive is 38°C (USGS, 2005). The lowest temperature
