If tourists come to Walton County for a peaceful vacation the community should cater to them, because they spend money and help support the local economy. Without the tourists many business and restaurants would be out of business, and Walton County would suffer a great deal. When a tourist who does not smoke wants to enjoy a clean beach, they will not come back to a location that allows smoking. Non-smokers know that smoking is a dirty and unhealthy atmosphere, and they will not enjoy their stay if they feel dirty. Walton County is capable of making.
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 working group in Lake Huron have invested over $500K in their project to help clean up the pollution (Lakes Huron). Research states, "salmon have all but disappeared from Lake Huron, and so have the anglers who spent tens of millions of dollars annually chasing them" (Sentinel). The Environmental Protection Agency have also devoted billions of dollars due to the pollution. In 2003, " Michigan's 10 busiest ports on Lake Huron saw about 1.2 million recreational fishing hours, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Last year, that number dropped to approximately 300,000- a decline of 75 percent"
Lake Huron, the hardest-hit of the five lakes, experienced record low levels this past winter. These conditions are troubling to the shipping industry, which spent the last year struggling to move cargo into ports with low water levels—a situation similar to the disruption of barge traffic on the Mississippi River (Schwartz, 2013). The irregular weather, while specific to one year, illustrates a larger trend. Extreme drought and high temperatures have kept water levels in the Great Lakes below their long-term averages for the past 14 years. Over the past 43 years, Michigan has been the second-fastest-warming state in the country, followed by Minnesota and Wisconsin (Kalish, 2012).
It is expected that they will break an all-time record low in the next few months (Pearson, 2013). Cargo ships have to lighten their loads because of the low waters. Some docks have even been forced to close. The lake levels declining are not a recent problem, but there has always been a buffer there, it is not gone. All of the trades that use the Lakes for Trade are taking a beating.
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.
We have to consider that Detroit has reported more population than Chicago. Cities that have large populations also have a greater chance of crimes being committed. People losing their jobs and many their homes could contribute to the economy status. This could contribute to the increasing numbers. Looking at what could help the numbers decrease could be because repeat offenders are receiving harsher punishments, or companies increasing their security with newer technology.
The lakes are surrounded by the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. With the water levels reaching its historical lows in the past few years most of the tourism, shipping, and recreational activities have been impacted. The decrease in water levels has forced Lakes freighters to light load their ship cargos in order to make it through the shallower harbors, which can reduce the ship's efficiency while adding on costs. An example of this would be the coal trade. Large coal carrying vessels that use to pass through the Soo Lock was once able to navigate through the channels with about 71,000 tons of cargo.
I do wonder how a person can’t be responsible enough to get a free Id but expect to vote on things that affect everyone. Sure people argue that you need to have documentation like a birth certificate in order to obtain an Id, which cost extra money. One valid argument would be that your county does not have a place to obtain an Id or you can’t manage get to it during business hours due to work (Cohen, A. 2012). You would need this item to get a job also.
When people look at global problems, they often look at problems such as global warming or oil spills, because they care more about animals and nature than they do about their own food. Consider this: maybe someday in a few decades we won't have desirable seafood, such as cod, tuna or salmon, because we're fishing more than the ocean can produce. That's called overfishing. So we don't run out of seafood in the future, you might want to know how overfishing affects marine life, how it's an economic trap, and what you can do to help stop this crisis. In effect to overfishing, many of our fish stocks are depleting rapidly.
