Coral pollutuion

     Coral reefs provide some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. There are many different types of Corals that have been discovered, some coral lives in warm water, shallow tropical seas, and others live in cold, deep down in the ocean. Coral has been around for hundreds and thousands of years five hundred years to be more precise.  Coral is a living organism in the ocean, about twenty-five percent of fish in the ocean, depend on coral reefs for food and protection from preditors. They can be found in salt and fresh water, Recent studies show that coral can live up to five thousand years. Coral reefs have many benefits that are good for our environment because they protect the coastlines from storms and erosion. Coral reefs also help because they provide us with ways to find medicines. A lot of people depend on reefs for food and income. Recently coral reefs are beginning to bleach and die. The reason that the Coral reefs are dying is because the temperature of the water is rising and causing the reefs to get stressed and irritated. Another reason why Coral reefs are dying is because of all the trash waste in the water and sometimes trash bags and junk, in general, getting stuck to the reefs and also causing the Coral reefs to die. Coral reefs are an amazing sight to see and their vibrant colors are just beautiful to see. We as a whole should do all we can to protect the reefs because who knows Mabey one day we won't have them anymore.

SABIC resins reduces the weight from things such as dashboards to tailgates by as high as 40% which makes it to where vehicles can go farther. The technology world is trying to convince everyone to convert to electric vehicles. They depend on batteries that charge faster, run longer, and are also more efficient.

Want to go on a cruise ship, think again

Image
              As well as a lot of other people, I enjoy a nice relaxing day on the water. Some people decide to take a weeks worth of days on the water. Including a boat, food, and entertainment. Cruise ships are some what of a luxury with the fancy dinners every night. Swimming pools and massive halls for shows and people to perform. Not to forget some even have places to throw cards and gamble. In recent study’s, cruise ships are found to be a major contributor to the growth of on water environmental pollution and degradation. This is also due to the ever so increasing amount of people taking cruises along with the industry booming in the way that it did. The recent popularity before COVID-19 had researchers interested. So they did a few study’s and found out the information above. Other dangers that cruise ships might present is potential danger to passengers/staff physical and mental health including land-based residents who live close to the port.  Some crazy things that happen wh

Ocean Fish Stock by Aaron Hoffman

  The worlds ocean fish stock is on the verge of collapsing. T he  International Union for Conservation of Nature , Jared Ferrie reports that the oceans have absorbed more than 93 percent of the heat generated by human activity since the 1970s, primarily through its large surface area, volume, and low albedo. Last year, the ocean was its warmest in 136 years of records. The increase in temperature has led to new toxic organisms and algae bloom that poison fish. Many specials are leaving their natural habitats in search of cooler areas. Since fish are leaving their natural habitat it causes a lot of problems for the fish in the habitat they move to. Food starts to dwindle down quicker that it should and the people that eat fish can search for fish in that area but cast find any if the fish leave. People are also overfishing and causing species to decline.   https://youtu.be/AHI-B-4c2NU  https://www.newsecuritybeat.org/2017/02/ocean-fish-stocks-on-verge-collapse-irin-report/
