Marine environment

Conserving marine environment is important in order to keep the waters and marine organisms healthy and safe. Studies state that “fragile reefs are home to an astounding 25% of all marine species” and that “too many fish are being fished out. (conservationinternational.com)” Other studies state that “the value society places on marine ecosystems is disproportionately small. Other studies state that “the value society places on marine ecosystems is disproportionately smaller than what is deserved”

ON THE ENVIRONMENT: Shipping comprises about 90 percent of world trade by volume, contributing approximately twelve percent of the total marine pollution arising from human activities on the ocean. The shipping operations and associated port activities that have been identified as having the greatest potential impact on the marine environment are: Pollution has an effect on: a) Entire marine ecosystems b) Public health c) Our marine resources (fisheries, tourism and shipping costs) Marine pollution

states. The coral reefʻs ecosystem is the most diverse and significant ecosystem the world has seen; there are about 4,000 species of fish that rely on coral reefʻs for support. Hawaii has one of the worldʻs most beautiful marine life ecosystem. There are about 400 native marine life species that are only found here in our coastal waters. Hawaiis coral reefs are such a special sight because you will never see anything like it anywhere else

Effects of Plastic Pollution on the Marine Environment Concern over increasing quantities of marine microplastic pollution has increased substantially in the last decade, becoming a focus for many local and national governments, intergovernmental organizations, environmental advocacy groups, and the private sector. In financial terms, conservative estimates place the harm to marine ecosystems at $13 billion annually. While the available literature on microplastic pollution impacts has grown

will look into the problems caused by fishing. Human impact has proved to threaten the bio diversity of the marine environment. The environmental impact of fishing can be divided into issues that involve the availability of fish to be caught, such as overfishing, sustainable fisheries, and fisheries management; and issues that involve the impact of fishing on other elements of the environment, such as by-catch. This research is connected to sustainability, and will look into the living and non-living

MACRO ENVRIONMENT ANALYSIS FOR OTTO MARINES LIMITED COMPANY A macro environment analysis examines external factors that are beyond the control of the business. This study aim to leverage those factors for the benefit of the business. In a pragmatic business political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal aspects of a business fluctuate exposing a company to further uncertainties. PESTEL analysis has proved to be an effective tool in macro environment business analysis with its (Reed

economic and social implications in the short and long-term (Pullar, 2015). According to * Many efforts have been made to reduce the implications towards health and the environment (marine life) issues. Since the grounding there have been many recovery plans launched in order to restore mauri, in that affected marine environment. In relation to this catastrophe a key development and environmental issue is the proposal to leave the remaining cargo and debris from the grounded Rena, submitted by the

involved in coal industry have shown to pollute the marine environment by various means. Unburnt coal may escape into marine environment during natural erosion of coal seams, slumping and runoff from storage areas, spills and accidents during loading and transport (Achten and Hofmann 2009; Gibson, Atkinson, and Gordon 2005) affecting marine life physically and

Oceans occupy 75% of earth’s surface and is a home for millions of species that live under water. There exists another world under the ocean. According to FMAP (Future of Marine Animal Populations), a project of the International census of Marine Life (2000 - 2010) aimed at describing the distribution and diversity of marine life, it is predicted that out of 8.7 million species that live on earth, 2.1 million live on Earth [1]. It is estimated that over 1 million undiscovered species are living in
