The Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) will be a negative impact in the Rio Grande Valley due to the hazardous risks it carries. This project that will be held in the valley can cause vapor clouds, pool fires, and climate changes. Besides these risks, it will also destroy the beautifulness there is to see at South Padre Island and tourists will lose their interest in coming. In previous events similar to this the project, it has caused billions of dollars being lost. The LNG plant will cause chaos with

national bycatch ratio is still low(Brooke 3). Many actions have already been taken since this has become an issue that has reduced bycatch by an incredibly large amount. In many areas, the amount of bycatch compared to the amount of fish that the fisheries in that area take in is only a small fraction(Brooke 3). There will always be bycatch in fishing, even if a single fisherman is fishing with a single

mouths to strain out prey from the water. They usually feed on small organisms known as zooplanktons, which include cyprids and euphausiids. How Tracking Can Save These Animals The process used to track endangered whales, as seen here at NOAA Fisheries [http://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/pr/species/mammals/whales/north-atlantic-right-whale.html], has been a challenging one to develop over the past several years. This is because this particular species of whale has no dorsal fin. The dorsal fin is usually

On April 20, 2010 The Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and sunk into the Gulf of Mexico at Macondo MC252. Eleven people were killed as a result. The spill released more than 4 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. According to various reports this was one of the worst ecological disasters in US History next to the Exxon Valdez. As a result of this incident, a plume appeared in the surrounding area. “This plume was initially identified by elevated levels of methane and light aromatic hydrocarbons

In the present day and age, a current phenomena with increasing effects on the Earth is climate change. As a result, massive resource shortages, natural disasters, an increased likelihood of epidemics and disease outbreaks, as well as negative impacts on a wide range of socioeconomic factors are expected (Podesta, J., Ogden, P., 2008). These effects have demonstrated and are continually expected to have the strongest impact on the disadvantaged in developing regions, namely, sub-Saharan African

ASSESSMENT 2 TASK 1: Sr. COMPLEXITY REDUCTIONISM GENERAL SYSTEMS THEORY 1 Definition When, in a system, multiple activities interact cohesively with each other in multiple ways, complexity takes shape. Reductionism refers to breaking down complex systems into simple components and understanding complex theories by simple principles. General system theory focuses on the interaction or the relationships between components that contribute to the system as a whole. 2 Context Complexity

What do you understand by the ‘Law of the Sea’ in Public International Law? Critically discuss the different principles, mechanisms of the Law of the Sea, and how they are applied. Law of the Sea The seas have long-standing recognition as routes linking all parts of the world and as a treasure full of resources. This has given significant rise to established rules. The Law of the Sea central principle is that Land rules over the Sea. A state will have the right on the sea, until a certain distance

the high sea fisheries which are located hundreds of miles of the coast. The fishing convoys that are interested in the valuable industry of tuna utilise thousands of baited hooks across miles of long-lines, which unfortunately catch just as many sharks in the process. As of recent, directly due to the increasing value of fins, sharks caught as by-catch have not been released back into the ocean with the capability of surviving. Due to by-catch usually being irrelevant in fisheries, the extent of

The Southern Training Group 1. Introduction The New Zealand economy is somewhat similar to the global economy. The past two decades have witnesses increasing liberalization and industrialization, and the country has moved away from agrarian activities. Still, problems remain within the state and these have been exacerbated by the internationalized economic crisis. In fact, economic problems surfaced in New Zealand before the inception of the economic crisis in late 2007. Since then, the country's

The wetlands are a natural environment for native fish and shellfish population shellfish that make up Louisiana’s seafood and fisheries. Without these habitats the region’s fisheries will find it difficult to cultivate and live on.3 C. As the land disappears, so do the essential nutrients needed for the native plants to
