The juvenile Rainbow Parrotfish generally spends its time in "mangrove sanctuaries", areas where the roots of a mangrove tree grow into the ocean and serve as a safe haven for small fish. Unfortunately, due to human interference and other factors, these mangrove populations are waning as well. This is opening these sanctuaries to predators and not allowing the juvenile fish that called them home to survive. The solution essentially narrows itself down to one goal, save the mangroves and, as a result, save the Rainbow Parrotfish. The question that I am asking is: "How much, in detail, does saving the mangroves help the Rainbow Parrotfish?
Close to the likely locations of these hotels, the environmental cost will likely be payed by the mangroves due to their unattractiveness by the mainstream tourist. This phenomenon of people flooding the region is likely to occur not only the reef, but in the mangroves as well. The only reason the degradation of the mangrove and coral reef habitats is occuring is a result of this coasts’ high potential for a beautifully, healthy, and bio-diverse community.
The sedimentary salt concentrates because of lack of freash ocean swell water. (Morey-Gaines,1980 pp.213,217-220). So, there is too much of the bacteria that plankton eat, and nothing to eat the plankton. So as they die, they release a terrible odor. The water quality is so poor, fish and sea mammals rarely come into the harbor.
Eating about two servings of fish per week provides healthy amounts omega-3 fatty acids that can help to lower cardiovascular disease. Although they have such great health benefits to us, we are putting many of the popular fish species we enjoy, such as salmon, tilapia and haddock, at risk for endangerment and environmental malpractice. There are many differences between farm raised and wild caught, but they both can be done in responsible manors that won’t harm the environment in an adverse way. It can be hard at times for suppliers to follow through with proper fishing technics especially when regulation is almost non-existent. Much of the shamming of improper fishing techniques is held against farm raised fish and the conditions in which they are raised.
If sharks were to be extinct then we would not be able to go with our families to the beach to have a fun in the waters as the water would be disgusting and not swimmable. While the numbers of large sharks have been going low it has led to the collapse of fisheries being able to go out to sea to fish as sharks play an important role of keeping the fish and coral reefs healthy. As large sharks do have an important role in the ocean, we do have to be cautious about where we swim as we could be in there territory or near predators. If you do take a shark out of there eco-system then in conclusion there will be bad consequences, because they keep their eco-system healthy and clean. For example imagine you at home doing your own thing then out of nowhere an intruder comes in and kidnaps you and while that happens there will be consequences but in the end you will end up being shot, not a good thing to think about so we should think the same about sharks.
People come from all over the island to dive here, since the water is extremely clear allowing you to see all the different sea life. When the tide is low, small tide pools are created. My children can spend numerous hours playing in the pools. They’re either looking at all the colorful fish that are trapped or just sitting in the pools, cooling off from the hot Okinawa sun. Sometimes they get overly excited going from one pool to another and slip on the coral reef, which can put a damper on all the fun.
It describes how the Bluefin is viewed in many different lights either as food or an economic goldmine to those that fish them, legally or illegally and how powerless the authorities are to stopping the underground trade. They then present the idea that there is only way to preserving the species; by commercial fish farming in protected waters. Overfishing and Fisheries Management: Stocks of commercially fished species must be managed carefully to ensure that the catch (take) does not undermine the sustainability of the fishery. In Australia, about 50 species make up 85% of the commercial catch. The most important species are either fully exploited and are being managed to achieve a sustainable yield, or have been overexploited and are now being managed to allow recovery.
There is an expressive concern from the public about the cane toad epidemic and the impact on the natural ecosystem, domestic pests and native wildlife. Although not endangered, the cane toad is slowly declining in numbers due to the increase in human population and developing infrastructure. There are a number of conventional management methods including habitat manipulation, quarantine checks, detection and surveillance programs at the boundaries of their current locations and the public involvement in ‘toad hunts,’ all in an attempt to prevent their species further spread. These control methods have proven to be unsuccessful to the total eradication of the cane toad hence the current research by the CSIRO being undertaken to discover a bio control method of gene technology. The potential to battle the problem using parasites and diseases is being processed, however agencies have discovered that the work continues to acquire extensive studies including an assessment of the potential impact of the control agent on native wildlife, particularly native frogs, before the parasites and diseases could be used
Shrimp eaters must have gone through a phase where they are reluctant to buy shrimp “after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers and triggering the spill that eventually spewed 206 million gallons (780 million liters) of oil from BP’s blown-out well” (Bureau and Mcgill 2010 Pg: 3). Even though only “7% of all shrimp consumed in the U.S. is caught in the Gulf of Mexico.” People still questioned the safety of eating Gulf coast Shrimp (Boyle 2010: 1). The oil spill brought a lot of fear in what is going to happened to the environment , to wildlife, to seafood industry, and to the very livelihood of those people in Louisiana’s and Mississippi’s coasts. The domestic shrimp, in particular, “has been subject to a seemingly continuous stream of bad luck with the 2005 and 2008
Orca Captivity Orca’s have been captured from the wild for display since the 1960’s. When the first captures occurred, orcas were known as mindless killers that lived up to the name “killer whale”. As people began to watch and study orca’s in captivity, they had realized that their perception on these creatures was mislead. Researchers discovered that orcas are highly evolved social beings, and they have come to realize they are not suited for living their lives in captivity. Many groups are working to make people aware of orcas in captivity and avoid future reoccurring problems like this.
