¶ … Sea Grant Community Programs
Sea Grant is a program within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and is concerned mainly with the enhancement of the practical use and conservation of the coastal, marine and Great Lakes resources in order to create an environment that is sustainable to the economy of the regions. The long-term economic development, environmental stewardship and the responsible use of the coastal line is the ultimate goal of the Sea Grant and NOAA strive to achieve this through offering research assistance, education facilities, scholarships and community sensitization programs (NOAA, 2016). However, these efforts face a wide range of challenges among them being as follows;
There is often a clash between the traditional land and sea use that the local communities are used to and have knowledge of over the decades and the new well researched alternatives that the NOAA have invested in and would like the local communities to adopt and embrace as the sustainable approach to environmental conservation. This has worked over years to negate the achievements of the program as well as slowing the progress of the agreed upon implementable solutions to the environmental degradation. This means the current and the...
This has prompted the program to adopt a different approach that would ensure the traditional misuse of the coastal line is arrested. The program has significantly engaged in the scholarship programs for the locals who are encouraged to get involved in the relevant academic pursuits that have connections with the protection of the coastal line and the ocean. Once these students go through the academic training and research, they are reunited with the local community with whom they can easily persuade and influence to change their use of land and sea to the new ands beneficial manner.
Another challenge is the fact that the program is at a cultural and technological crossroads where the program faces differences in almost everything, starting from the language, technology, values, ethics and lifestyle of those who come to implement it. The Caribbean region is known to host many indigenous tribes who speak other languages apart from English. This brings a challenge in the process of implementing the program particularly along the coastal line. The region is also widely known to value their cultures and any external interference is…

poverty challenges in Haiti. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the Western hemisphere and the Caribbean Sea. It occupies the western third of the island of Hispaniola between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The nation's demographic statistics reveal the effect of extreme poverty. This condition has significantly reduced life expectancy to 49.2 years. This is highly contributed by high infant mortality rates due to poor
Because the home country is not required to reimburse foreign depositors for losses, there is no corresponding financial penalty for lax supervision; there is, though, a benefit to the country with lenient regulatory policies because of increased revenues generated and the employment opportunities these services provide (Edwards 1999). Furthermore, banks seeking to conduct multinational business are attracted to countries where incorporation laws and the regulatory framework offer less regulatory oversight

Territorial Expansion How did the U.S. acquire the territory in question? On the auspicious date of April 30, 1803, the United States of America bought eight hundred and twenty eight thousand square miles worth of land from the French government of Napoleon Bonaparte. Thomas Jefferson, the President of America, wanted to secure this deal. Wars were rampaging overseas in the continent of Europe and Napoleon had intentions to safeguard what he had acquired
Peace Freedom is the Foundation of Peace. Without freedom, there is no peace. America, by nature, stands for freedom, and we must always remember, we benefit when it expands. So we must stand by those nations moving toward freedom. We must stand up to those nations who deny freedom and threaten our neighbors or our vital interests. We must assert emphatically that the future will belong to the free. Today's
