Santa Cruz Island

Gran Canaria Nightlife: Where to Party and Staying Safe Gran Canaria nightlife is one of the paradise island’s strongest draws. Though it’s hardly one of the reasons why you would go there, it’s something you would want to experience. The urbanised capital of Las Palmas has a number of bars and disco areas. The same can be said to the resort town of Maspalomas which is also a well-known party centre. Before you strap on your disco shoes and order your martinis, there are a few things you would

My best friend was turning fifteen and a group of close friends went to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with her parents. The kids stayed in one hotel room; the adults in the room next door. That night, I fell asleep in a bed with my best friend. In the middle of the night, I woke up to a close friend on top of me. He held his hand

Pacifica is about 15 miles south of San Francisco. In Pacifica many apartments are scheduled to be demolished because of how close they are to the edge of the cliff. Another location feeling the effects of coastal erosion is Santa Cruz. One of the landmarks of Santa Cruz is the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The boardwalk had jetties, which are structure that extend into the water to stop sand erosion. The problem is that these jetties are trapping sand and creating a new sandbar. The sandbar is it extends

Mystery of The Mary Celeste What Happened to Her Crew The Mystery of the Mary Celeste has been talked about for centuries. Historical scholars have debated the events that lead to her crews’ mysterious disappearance. Many books both non-fiction and fiction have been written about her. Did an explosion caused by her precious cargo cause her crew to abandon ship? Was there a violent sea quake that made her immobile? Maybe the captain thought her hull was filling with water and sinking after days

Pup Takes Back Home From Invasive Ants Recently on the island of Santa Cruz, a young Christina Boser, an ecologist, has found the key to help take back their home, a very smart golden labrador,Tobias. The island's normally lovely environment is currently under attack by Argentine ants. This species is known to be extremely invasive and destructive and nearly impossible to get rid of, especially with such a large source as Santa Cruz Island. Within the answer to these ants extinction lies in Tobias

year old tortoise named Diego who is responsible for saving its species. The tortoises in Galapagos were almost in near extinction and this because the very few males that are on the island did not seem an interest to the females, which slowed down the population rate. The tortoise lives in a breeding center in Santa Cruz but is from a species called Chelnoidis Hoodensis, which is a species that that is only found in Espanola. Knowing the history of this Diego and seeing how he has produced many offspring

conclusively demonstrate in mockingbirds. Remote oceanic islands have long been recognized as natural models for the study of evolutionary processes involved in diversification and speciation. Their remoteness and susceptibility to catastrophic disturbances by invasive species provide opportunities for colonization and divergence of populations through isolation, making islands fantastic study plots of diversification and speciation. Groups of islands may share a closely similar geological history and

Saint Croix is the largest of the US Virgin Islands, which lie 1730 miles east south east of Miami and 93 miles west of Puerto Rico. This section of the Virgin Islands has belonged to the United States since 1917 when they were acquired from the Danish government for $25m in gold to protect American shores from German U-boat attack. At the time, it was feared that Germany might subjugate the islands and construct submarine pens there in order to attack American supply shipping, which was essential

Critique: Santa Catalina Island Fox Overview of species’ conservation status: The Santa Catalina Island Fox (Urocyon litroralis catalinae) is a close relative to the mainland gray fox and they are endemic to Channel Islands. Using genetic testing and the morphological species concept, scientists have identified that U.l. catalinae are introduced from mainland to the island by Native Americans about 10,000 to 13,000 years ago (USFWS 2015). Originally, these foxes occupied several different islands such
