Found Only in Hawaii lays the beautiful Hawaiian Monk Seal. These adorable creatures can be found in their own little groups under piers and wharfs. The seals stay in their own families and raise their own pups. There are no fostering of other pups going on which can cause them to die, loosing population. According to resources.metapress.com, it is very rare to see any adopting families.
First, the two articles seem to have the different purposes. The article “SeaWorld: The Truth...” is biased toward the image of theme parks while “The Case Against...” ’s aim is the status of captive killer whales. This dissimilar point can be seen clearest at the introductory of the two articles. “The Case Against...” starts with affirmation that some theme parks should not keep orcas in prisons. “Orcas – intelligent, highly social, amazing,” the author claims, “beings – deserve their freedom.”(“The Case Against, par.
There are many different areas in which a marine biologist may work. Very few marine biologists work studying ocean living mammals like whales or dolphins. Yet people often think this is the only area in which a marine biologist can work. Actually, marine biologists may help to protect life forms in a part of an ocean, or study the interactions of life forms in a specific ocean environment. A marine biologist might also analyze the behaviors of fish species.
Whaling has been around on since prehistoric times, they were hunted by chasing the whales, and throwing a harpoon into them. Whaling and fishing in the late nineteenth and twentieth century became a tragedy of the commons where fishermen had little incentive to allow some fish to remain to only be taken by others. Countries around the world were putting whales on the brink of extinction through any means necessary. By not taking young fish, this would allow future fish to keep the population stable, but by not taking the younger fish, the fishermen would lose these to other fishermen. In the 1800s and 1900s whales were found to be quite practical and useful.
Dear Editor of Los Angeles Times, Are we as a society so selfish, that we would rather be entertained by animals, than to learn about and observe them in their natural habitat? Is the almighty dollar more important than animal rights? SeaWorld takes killer whales and other sea life away from their natural habitat and family, when what they should really do is turn their park into a rehabilitation center, and give children and adults more opportunities to learn about these animals. Furthermore the facility should be only for rehabilitation and presentation of these animals, and not for entertainment purposes. In SeaWorld, Tilikun is their
For example, there are tons of animals born with defects and other abnormalities. Like the pink hippopotamus found in Kenya, or the pink albino bottle nose dolphin. This bottle nose dolphin was discovered in Lake Calcasieu in Louisiana in 2007 by charter boat captain Erik Rye. Rye told ESPN " It was absolutely, stunningly pink, it looks like it just came out of a paint booth." I have never seen a pink dolphin, but it is on my list of things to see.
Let’s dive right in, and I’ll show you what being a Marine biologist is all about. A Marine Biologist is a scientist specializing in the field of ocean plants and animals, as well as the ocean waters themselves. It can differ from a part time and full time job. They study organisms living in saltwater and their relationships to the environment around them. There is no specific subject Marine Biologists study, the possibilities are endless.
International treaties provide some additional regulation up to 25 miles offshore. Beyond the 25-mile point, however, ships are allowed free rein.” (The Contemporary Business World, chapter 2, pp38) This, however, does not stop the detrimental assault on the environment. The destruction of the marine ecosystem needs to be addressed if we are to save our oceans as our marine life is facing destruction and even extinction. It is, and should be, our moral responsibility to do what is right and prevent and safeguard against this atrocity. The corporate shareholders and top management should take this stance; however, as with all corporate business, what is important is the bottom line, and with business, the bottom line is always profits.
Makah Tribe Whaling: Is It a Moral Issue For All To Judge No it is not appropriate for nonmembers of the Makah tribe to evaluate the morality of the Makah Whale hunt. Morality is something that is formed as part of cultural upbringing, it is influenced by your community. Different cultures have different beliefs and morals. It is unfair for someone of a different background, different culture based on where they were brought up to judge another’s moral beliefs. What a nonmember can do is do research and give feedback to a tribe member as to help influence the best choice for the tribe as they are trying to make this difficult decision.
When you look at the ocean you don’t really think about what makes waves, or about what’s in the water or the tides and currents. I love the water; the way it looks, feels and sounds. That’s why I’ve decided to study it. I want to learn about things we don’t see when we look at the ocean, things we just never think about. I also chose to research oceanography because most of earth is made of water.
