Coral Reefs
One of the first lessons that nearly every one of us learns is that it is important to share. We are told to share our snacks with our fellow kindergarteners and to share our toys with visiting cousins. We are told to share the dinner table conversation and our good wishes. And these admonitions are generally cross-cultural: Different cultures and different religious traditions all ask that their members act generously in the world or that they cannot consider themselves to be good people.

But what is it that we are ethically obligated to share? Certainly anything that we can live without that does not harm another living creature. We must share food unless we or those under our care are starving. We must donate blood in times of crisis unless to do so would harm us. We must offer water to those who are laboring in the sun, and warmth….

Coral reefs [...] their status, purpose, and benefit to the environment. Coral reefs serve a vital purpose in the ocean's ecological balance. eefs provide substantial benefits to the ocean's ecosystem, to their populations, and to man. They provide stunning tourist opportunities, chemicals used in medical research, and protection for vulnerable beaches and islands during storms. Saving the coral reefs of the world is of vital importance, and more effort should be made to save and rebuild reefs that have been damaged by time and man's influence.
Coral eefs

Coral reefs are found in most tropical zones of the planet, and they must have an annual water temperature of at least 74 degrees Fahrenheit to survive, and they typically do best in shallow water, where sunlight can reach them (Ekman 4-6). eefs are extremely beneficial to their environment because of the varied and abundant life forms that populate the reefs. They also….

Pollutants Compound Threats to Coral eefs and What That Means for the Ocean and Us Humans
POLLUTANTS AND COAL EEFS

All over the world, the existence of coral reefs in the oceans face a lot of danger caused by pollutant compounds. A lot of consideration therefore needs to be put in place to access the effects caused by these pollutants on human beings and possible remedies on the impact of the pollution to the ecosystem as a whole.

The beauty and bio diverse nature of coral reefs qualify them as a resource with a lot of worth in the ocean. Among the many uses they have include, but are not limited to, provision of shelter for marine life, human leisure, source of organisms for medicinal value, creation of sandy beaches, and acting as shoreline buffers. The use of excess carbon dioxide in the water from the air to make limestone is what….

Remote sensing can be utilized in order to give succinct information regarding the arrangement and the constituents of coral reef materials. The biological and physical attributes of the water bodies in which the coral reefs exist are monitored over a period of time and the changes note. This paper explores the different technologies available in the field of remote sensing. Over time, there has been a large improvement as the access to remotely sensed data is concerned. This turn of events mainly fueled by the advancements in the field of Information Technology has resulted in better, improved and more accurate and faster information extraction techniques. This has been accelerated by the fact that governments and institutions have heavily invested in improved technology that has enabled faster results and dissemination of the data obtained over the internet. This paper provides a complete and detailed approach as to the various methods that….

Coral reefs are often coined as the rainforests of the sea, and they are one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Although they cover less than 1 percent of the Earth's surface, coral reefs house about one-third of all marine species. It is estimated that there are about 3.2 million species that inhabit coral reef ecosystems. The coral reefs not only provide biodiversity, they also play a vital role in the local economies. Tourism is one of the ways that nearby countries benefit from coral reefs. Coral reef fisheries produce about 6 million metric tons of fish annually and they provide for one-quarter of the fish that is caught in developing nations. Coral reefs are also associated with building materials, coastal protection, and pharmaceutical discoveries. However, coral reefs have been declining mainly due to stresses that result from human activity like overfishing and pollution. The rises in carbon….

It should not be a difficult question to answer: we must begin reducing ocean pollution and taking steps to prohibit overfishing of our ocean shallows.
The plan that is formulated to address the overfishing and man-made pollutants in the coral reefs must be conducted by authorities in marine and ecological sciences. It must be conducted on two levels: the fishing industry associated with the catches on the coral reefs; and the pollutants that are introduced into the coral reefs through contact with man. This can be done by monitoring commercial tourism and diving industries, which claim there is no residual effect on the coral reefs (Carrier, James, and McLeod, Donald, 2005, p. 315).

Platforms
Goods Ideas: Platforms and Conclusion

The Internet is similar to a coral reef in that both are platforms that provide enormous opportunities for the emergence, growth, and development of other ideas or life-forms. Coral reefs are very dense and diversely populated ecosystems that are entirely dependent on the platform of the coral skeletons that make up the physical structure of the reef, just as the internet has become richly and very diversely populated with different ideas, applications, and capabilities all of which are dependent on the communication capabilities and certain fundamental Internet protocols that allow this information to be created and shared. Both the Internet and coral reefs are also, interestingly, built on other platforms -- computer networks and volcanic islands, respectively -- demonstrating the "stacked" nature of many platforms and platform systems that exist in both the natural and man-made worlds.

S. Department of State). Since them the severity and frequency of bleaching events continues to increase. These bleaching events correlate with rising average sea temperatures on a global basis, rising sea levels, and more frequent tropical storms fueled by increasingly stronger heat masses (U.S. Department of State).
In addition to coral reef bleaching, the geographic ranges of many plants and animals are shifting. Plant and animal ranges are generally limited by climatic factors, with animals able to respond to climate changes faster than plants due to increased mobility (EPA, Ecosystems and Biodiversity). ecently, changes have been noticed in the ranges of several species. Those that cannot adapt to the new climate will quickly become extinct. Currently, nearly 20-30% of all plant and animal species are in danger of becoming extinct in the near future, with many of these extinctions related to climate change (EPA, Ecosystems and Biodiversity). However, climate change is….

Dredging the Port of Miami
Dredging refers to the activity needed to be conducted for removal of unwanted deposits present in water pathways. However, even though this activity facilitates marine traffic regularity, it isn't without its drawbacks[footnoteef:2]. Dredging poses a great threat to the aquatic environment, and should be carried out very carefully, facilitated only using the assistance of the appropriate dredges and dredgers. As a port for international cargo, the Port of Miami is a significant section of the Miami economy. A project, to expand the port area by means of dredging, has been planned for. This is intended to provide ingress and egress for the new larger PanaMax ships that will be coming through the improved Panama Canal, and thus is expected to draw more business in cargo shipping to the locality[footnoteef:3]. The proposed expansion zone is, however, also the site of a key ecosystem. Thus, arguments and environmental….

In fact, the entire damage was caused by the tsunami itself along with other factors like the geology and geography of the region. The damage that the tsunami caused to mainland India, a seismically quiescent region, was concentrated mainly on the eastern coastline but some damage due to diffraction also occurred on the southernmost tip of the western coastline. A factor which played a major role in the scale of devastation that occurred in this region is the bathymetry of the Bay of Bengal. The Bay of Bengal is quite shallow with an average depth of 2600 meters. The shallowness can be attributed to the huge amount of sediment that the Ganges iver deposits in it. (Strand; Masek, 40)
After the earthquake, the bay was sealed off by the deep Sunda Trench and the tsunami waves were reflected back towards the Indian Ocean striking the eastern Indian coastline within two….

Dubai should be thinking about sustainability, since the seaport expansion and modernization has been damaging to the environment over the past decade. AS more and more ships begin to use the Dubai port, and as commerce and economic activity return after the global economic recession, the environmental challenges surrounding the port will likely increase as well.

Environmental Crimes and Health and Safety Law Violation
With the current changes in weather patterns, strange climatic conditions and other uncontrollable natural disasters, there has been a lot of attention directed towards the environment and the way people may be contributing to the degradation of the environment in small ways that is summed up results into the disasters that we see on daily basis. The environment is becoming unpleasant on an increasing trend each and every day, this is a cause to worry about for each government that cares to see the consequences of our careless handling of the environment.

There are also man's contribution to the insecurity that surrounds us on a daily basis since people no longer care for the safety of the workers that work in their industries and sadly to some extent, some don care even about themselves and the safety that may be protecting their very being.….

Colin Woodward's book Ocean's End: Travels Through Endangered Seas describes the seas around Belize including those of Caye Caulker. Many of these are tourist areas, but with a low development footprint. As Woodward points out, most people walk and there are no cars anywhere on Caye Caulker. Although the author underestimates the intelligence and geographic awareness of Americans by stating that most of them have "never heard of this little nation," Woodward does do Belize justice in showing that increased rates of tourism to the island are wreaking havoc on the reefs, even though the type of tourism Belize attracts is "ecotourism."
Yet not all is idyllic on this stretch of paradise. As Woodward first points out, Caulker used to have a glut of spiny lobsters, so common that the locals were able to simply coax them ashore using palm fronds (p. 132). Tourism has increased the demand for fresh….

The essay will also review the impact of global warming and community of Nations on tourism and how the changing weather patterns have impacted on the tourism trends from the human perspective as well as from the flora and fauna perspective. This will show how global warming has affected the community….

Crafting a Compelling Thesis Statement on the Effects of Coastal Erosion on the Decline of Marine Life

Step 1: Understand the Issue

Coastal erosion is a pressing environmental challenge, eroding beaches, cliffs, and other coastal landforms. This erosion directly impacts marine life by degrading vital habitats, reducing food sources, and increasing vulnerability to predators.

Step 2: Identify the Central Argument

The central argument should assert a clear relationship between coastal erosion and the decline of marine life. Avoid overly general or vague statements. Instead, focus on a specific aspect of the impact, such as:

Coastal erosion leads to habitat loss for marine species.
