The Plastic Plague: The Negative Effects of Oceanic Debris The earth’s oceans take up roughly three fourths of the planet’s surface area and hold roughly 97 percent of all water on earth (Silverman). It is important that people make sure that the oceans are kept clean because the ocean contains many essential elements for the survival of both humans and animals. A rising problem that is not often brought up is the increasing amounts of man-made debris, especially plastic, that are accumulating

two days on the open sea. The short story by Stephen Crane The Open Boat tells the journey through the narrative's point of view of man vs nature and the potent relations, he retains with the three other passengers as they are forced to work together to survive. The narrative’s survival shows the compassion he gains of his comrades and new life that is embraced through a mighty recovery after his life is saved. Unknown as what might be ahead all four men embrace the hearty sea at full force working

the ghosts of notorious pirates maybe even Blackbeard himself had come back to silence the coastline. My imagination was chuck full of childhood tales—I could picture infamous pirates wielding silver cutlass swords and gallant king’s men battling at sea, but the sand was deserted and even the wind now held its breath. “Bro, we’ve fallen down the rabbit hole or something. I know were not in Pixie Dust anymore . . . but where the heck are we Wonderland?” Mason said in full meltdown mode. “And . .

This target is measurable. Most of the water pollution comes from source points (factories, wastewater, refineries) before they get released to the ocean. It is not possible to measure effectively the pollution in the ocean but measuring the pollution outcome from the points sources is possible. This target is not measurable. It is instead a result that is led by various efforts (achieving other targets will indeed lead to that). This target is measurable but not directly. Ocean acidification

allows the readers to capture the essence of a work through the display of the seasons, sea, weather, and the land. The novel, The Sound of Waves, presents a case of two young lovers from the rural, simplistic fishing island of Uta-Jima. As the novel progresses, the young lovers face multiple struggles that are resolved towards the end of the work. Commonly used in The Sound of Waves, Yukio Mishima employs the sea to display the protagonist, Shinji’s, dreams, thoughts and emotions, further the text

in the world’s oceans is serious and disgustingly under-looked problem. Due to the influx of hundreds of thousands of tons of plastic, the marine landscape is changing rapidly. This issue isn’t just exclusive to oceans either. The world’s rivers and seas are also feeling the brunt of non-biodegradable waste. The scientific community is scrambling to find a solution to this ubiquitous issue. Plastic pollution in the world’s oceans has already lead some environmental activists and entrepreneurs to develop

Symbolically, the sea is what keeps him apart from the world and that creates exile. There are a lot of symbols and images being used to prove the writer's point: "In icy bands, bound with frost, with frozen chains, and hardship groaned around my heart." (9-11). The images represent how he feels and how he sees his life at that moment. Symbolic gestures such as, "The song of the swan might serve for pleasure, the cry of the sea-fowl, the death-noise of birds instead

Jenna Uzdarwin 1/30/17 Animal Harm by Pollution: Jenna (Sea/Land Animals) It is known today that 60% of the plastics being dumped into bodies of water get ingested by animals in the oceans (Center for Biological Diversity, http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/ocean_plastics/). Humans use plastics everyday, but what we don’t realize is that after recycling our bottles, they end up being dumped into our oceans where ocean life mistakes a plastic bag for a jelly fish. Today plastics can be one

raw materials but due to ocean pollution is causing major consequences to sea animals. Mainly the ocean pollution comes from plastic in the ocean but also, “6.4 million tons of garbage enters the oceans every year” (Karpus). By just a simple walk on any beach, anywhere, and people could see plastic or garbage waste. Many people may think this issue does not affect them but, it affects everyone and more sadly enough sea animals. Too many people plastic is a modern-day thing that they must have

There is an extreme amount of garbage in the ocean. The NOAA describes marine debris as, “any persistent solid material that is manufactured or processed and directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, disposed of or abandoned into the marine environment or the Great Lakes” (Discover the Issue, n.d.). Human waste that is polluting the ocean creates garbage patches, effects marine animals, and damages ocean environments. Pollution in the ocean is out of control and humans should be more
