World Ocean

The science of Marine Biology is the study of Marine organisms. Marine Biology is the comprehension about the marine world and provides the process of science. I want to become a Marine Biologist because i want to spend time outdoors by the water, and study different habitats in the ecosystem. This paper will focus on the history, requirements, duties, and job outlook of a Marine Biologist and Oceanographer. History & Background Marine Biology is important for scientists to determine the quality

1. Thermohaline circulation of the ocean corresponds to the change of density in flowing water. It is created through global density gradients constructed by surface heat and freshwater fluxes through the large scale ocean circulation. It is based on deep water currents that make up 90% of the ocean. Water moves around areas found under sea, ocean basins, since density is caused by forces and gravity. The amount of salt in the water and the temperature of the water changes the density. Salinity

The Blue Whale has been an endangered species for a really long time now. People believe that the blue whale is the largest species that has ever existed. In the world there is 3 different types of blue whales. You have the Northern Blue Whale, the Southern Blue Whale, and the Pygmy Whale. The blue whale population is going down because people are hunting them. These humans have been hunting these whales for over 100 years now. The Blue Whales are now in a legal protection and the last whale that

Climate change is affecting oceans tremendously. Threats faced by the ocean planet seem uncontrollable. In the face of overfishing, pollution, and climate change it may seem like a drop in the bucket. With the amount of light reaching onto the shore, plants should be reduced in order for the rising sea levels to fall. Oceans have also absorbed tons of carbon dioxide from the earth’s atmosphere causing ocean acidification. Coral bleaching is caused by high water temperatures leading to coral death

One of the biggest contributions to biodiversity loss is over fishing which is employed by fishery’s. the methods and techniques used include bottom trawling, net, and poisoning in order to catch large sums of fish. Because of these tactics used the biggest problem is Bycatch which are unwanted species that are caught in the nets on accident. To rectify this problem Ward et. Al suggests “Using a single- species approach, the fishing gear is modified to eliminate the harvest of incidentally caught

Composition 6 November 2015 Research Paper Ocean Acidification Becomes Emerging Issue Our oceans are slowly become contaminated to unbearable levels due to acidification. According to Funk and Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia, ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease of the pH of global seawaters. Oftentimes acidification is the aftermath of negligent human activity, along with other more natural causes. Acidification takes place when carbon dioxide is leaked into ocean waters. (Funk and Wagnalls 1) Over

Overfishing began in the early 1800’s when it was discovered that whale blubber could be utilized for oil lamps. Overfishing is when fish are taken from the ocean at a rate that is too fast for them to adequately repopulate. In contrast to every damaging anthropogenic activity, overfishing has taken the biggest toll on the marine ecosystems and has led many fish species to reduce rapidly and others to become extinct. In order to stop this before it is too late, we must enforce sustainable methods

12% of the oil entering the oceans every year. By study by the US National Research Council, 36% descends channels and waterways as waste and spillover from urban communities and industry. Manure overflow from homesteads and gardens is a tremendous issue for waterfront ranges. The additional supplements reason eutrophication - thriving of algal blossoms that drain the water 's broken up oxygen and suffocate other marine life.

Imagine a world without your favorite foods you have ever consumed. Imagine a world where you cannot even enjoy your favorite beach on vacation because of unmanageable algae taking over our coasts. Imagine a world with a huge spike in greenhouse gases, and a dramatic decline of natural oxygen production. This is a world without the most feared and misunderstood creature that rules our oceans, the Shark. In an advertisement published by WWF, it conveys the message of what we should actually be fearing

variations of life that inhabit it. The ocean harbors many ecosystems and resources that are critical to the survival of both oceanic and terrestrial life, and climate change is one of the leading threats of these fragile habitats. More needs to be done to preserve these precious species and to protect the well-being of the Earth, and I feel an urgent, yet lifelong moral obligation to help mitigate the devastation of human impacts on oceanic environments. Through the Ocean Exploration program I am hoping
