The biology of the sea turtle and facors affecting its population Upon first sight of the great sea turtle it might just think that it is like any other turtle. The truth is that marine turtles are beautiful creatures spending a majority of their lives wandering endlessly through our massive ocean. These reptiles have the ability to do amazing things. Some of these things include evolving to a range of purely innate responses to the demands of a changing suite of environments and having remarkable

Marine Mammal Trainer/Biologist Mikayla and I decided to interview Irene Gilgoff from the Pacific Marine Mammal Center. She is one of the most experienced employees there‚ being there for about fifteen years‚ marine animals are her life. The main parts of Irene’s job include working with the mammal’s hands on and taking care of them throughout the day. The Pacific Marine Mammal Center can be reached at (949) 494-3050 and is located at 20612 Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach‚ California. Also

Introduction Plastic pollution is an ever-growing environmental concern. Plastic debris are a choking and an extensive barrier to wild life. Take out cups from Starbucks‚ plastic spoons‚ bottle caps‚ and disposable milk jugs are all examples of plastic pollution that we may use on a weekly or even a daily cause it is easy and cheap to

using an integration of private‚ federal‚ state and local government funds. Not only are artificial reefs suggested to preserve marine populations‚ but they are also considered to be “economically viable” (‘How artificial reefs are economically viable’). The role of artificial reefs is to attract marine life‚ which brings in approximately $300‚000 a year for many marine wildlife service programs‚ like the U.S Fish and Wildlife services (Artificial reef program). On the other hand‚ some declare that

Turtles are attracted to balloons‚ which can get trapped in their gut and cause starvation (the MCS says even the fragments could be harmful to hatchling turtles); dolphins‚ seabirds and other marine animals have been killed by balloons or the plastic strings that are usually attached to them in the past. In defence‚ the balloon manufacturing industries say that latex is biodegradable and takes about the same time as an oak leaf to decompose

The effects of Marine Protected Areas on Recreational fishing‚ with a focus on Temperate waters. Abstract Marine Protected Areas have been realized as a useful tool for the protection of marine eco system and biodiversity all over the world. These Marine Protected areas MPAs limit human activity in the conservation regions in order to protect biodiversity and exploited species. Hence they have a direct effect on recreational activities like fishing‚ bait collection‚ diver collection etc. The

Pollution by Garbage from Ships Regulations for the Prevention of pollution by garbage from ships are contained in Annex V of MARPOL. Overview of Annex VGarbage from ships can be just as deadly to marine life as oil or chemicals.The greatest danger comes from plastic‚ which can float for years. Fish and marine mammals can in some cases mistake plastics for food and they can also become trapped in plastic ropes‚ nets‚ bags and other items - even such innocuous items as the plastic rings used to hold cans

This horrific news brought me to research why the whale turned on its trainer and the information I found made me change my outlook on animal captivity completely. In the ethical debate over marine mammals in captivity there are many conflicting views. The public theme park industries advocate that marine mammal exhibits provide an important role in educating‚ entertaining‚ and conservation; they see nothing wrong with captivity. An increasing number of scientists counter this view and believe that
