...Second Draft Two-hundred fifty feet below the sea, I stomp. I stomp wearing a dim green tank strapped horizontally across my chest with a regulator in my mouth As I am readjusting my full face mask, I see a flurry of movement ahead of me in the thick kelp forest. This forest, unlike other forests, is completely submerged beneath the sea. Because of the depth, the lack of sunlight allows me only twenty feet of vision in any direction. I slowly marched into the green forest, unstrapping my black harpoon gun from my back. As I penetrated the thick green brush, I marveled at the diversity of baitfish swimming through the weeds. This was a good sign of large fish within the kelp. My purpose for the hunt was to simply fill my stomach. Due to certain...

...investigated the organisms bull kelp, barnacles, moss weed and Limpets to describe the pattern of zonation at the rocky shore. The rocky shore main abiotic factor is tidal movement. The first organism we investigated at the rocky shore was Bull Kelp. Bull kelp is mostly found in the subtidal zone, low tide zone at the rocky shore. Bull kelp have many important adaptations to keep them alive in their habitat, they have a strong foot on them which helps them to clamp onto rocks tightly which prevents them from getting sweeped away from the strong waves and die. They also have little air pockets in their structure which help them to float up to the surface of the water during high tide in order to get sunlight for photosynthesis which gets them their nutrition to stay alive. One of the main physical adaptations that Bull Kelp have that no other seaweed does is their honeycomb structure which makes it supple and the flexibility prevents them from not getting crushed by strong waves in their environment. As Bull kelp get their nutrition and food through photosynthesis, they don't have any competition with other organisms to find prey. Bull...

...Kelp is a plant that a lot of fish eat and has many places to live. Kelp can live in tropical waters, far under the sea, and even in shallow waters. There are many kelp forest deep in the ocean and are a sight to see. The purple coral provides homes for a lot if other coral plants but is a rare color in coral. The sea whip an interesting plant that lives in shallow water and uses its coral polyps to bring in food. The sea anemone is another underwater plant that clings to rocks so it won't float away and kills any fish that swims into its grass-like tentacles by stinging the fish to death. The only fish immune to the sea anemone's deadly tentacles is the famous clown fish. Coral reefs are home to many forms of sea life and are a popular form of plant life. The coral reef are in danger because of pollution and overfishing and...

...Introduction Sea otters or enhydra lutris, are the largest of the mustelid but are the smallest of the marine mammals. These mammals at birth are very fragile and are cared for a great deal by the mothers. The sea otter once able to forage on its own can eat s number of organisms and mush eat a great deal to maintain its metabolism. The enhydra lutris is know as a keystone species to the kelp forests, protecting them from sea urchins among other enemies that threaten to deplete the kelp forests. It is essential for most mammalian offspring to receive parental care for their survival. The sea otter, Enhydra lutris, is a mammal the especially rely on the parental care since there pups are the most altrcial of the marine mammals born at sea....

...Traditional Chinese Medicine: Cancer-Preventing Foods Wei Liu, TCMD, MPH, LAC and Changzhen Gong, PhD, Ms The American Academy of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM) Cancer-preventing foods which are popular in China include green tea, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, kelp, carrots, and cauliflower. Green Tea, the most popular drink in China, Japan and other Asian countries, contains powerful anti-cancer substances called catechins. Many studies show that green tea can dramatically block the development of various cancers. Epigallocatechin gallate (one of the most potent catechins) is found in the highest concentrations in green tea. People confuse green tea with black tea, Oolong tea, Jasmine tea, and many other Asian teas. All tea is made from leaves picked from the same plant—the difference is in the processing. Green tea leaves are simply picked and sun-dried; other teas are either fermented or cooked. It is the lack of processing that makes green tea contain the most potent anti-cancer agents. A leading physician, Dr. Hirota Fujiki, at Japan's National Cancer Center Research Institute, claims that drinking green tea could be one of the most practical methods of cancer prevention available to the general public at present. Cabbage, the most popular vegetable in the northern part of China, can be found in many traditional dishes, including stir-fry vegetables and dumplings. The Chinese value it, not only for its good taste, but also for its wonderful anti-cancer...

...decrease in the population. Even after being continuously protected by the federal government, they still are a threatened species. As sea otters decline the impacts on the energy flow throughout the Islands is very visible. The main thought for the decline of sea otters at the moment is predation by killer whales because of the scarcity of sea lions and seals, the normal meal for killer whales. Killer whales have been tracked swimming near sea otters and soon over dozens of attacks were reported. It has created a chain reaction in the trophic web and is now effecting many, many organisms. The primary producers, or photosynthesizing organisms, are kelp and phytoplankton. They are the foundation for the aquatic food web. The primary consumers, animals that eat plants, are crabs, sea urchins and costal fish which all feed on kelp, while mussels feed on phytoplankton. The secondary consumers, animals that eat animals who eat plants, would be the squid and octopus who both eat crabs, sea otters and sea gulls which eat the sea urchins, bald eagles and sea gulls both eat the costal fish and starfish eat the...

...A single ecosystem holds all the food chain and this is called a food web. Every living creature in the ecosystem is a component of multiplex food chains. Every food chain is a possible pathway that nutrients, and energy could take on while they travel throughout an ecosystem. Each and every one of the overlapping, and organized food chains in the same ecosystem create a food web. "A food web is a graphical description of feeding relationships among species in an ecological community, that is, of who eats whom"( J. Duffy, 2013 ). Trophic levels consist of a group of organisms in the food webs. Also, this trophic levels are divided into three levels and this levels are decomposers, consumers, and producers. The first trophic level is known as Producers. Also, they create their food and they don't turn to other organism, and they also called autotrophs. Normally autotrophs create food using a process known as photosynthesis, and that create a nutrient known as glucose, and these consist of water , carbon dioxide, and sunlight. There are different types of autotroph but plants are the most known type. One larger plant that's known as seaweed is a autotroph. Also, tiny organisms living in the deep-sea called Phytoplankton, are also autotrophs. There are various bacteria that are autotrophs. Example, in a lively volcanoes exist bacteria and they use sulfur to put together its own food. This procedure is known as chemosynthesis. The following trophic levels consist of organism...

...the sampling process in the study, it was recorded that the sea urchin Arbacia dufresnii and kelp were the main benthic organism present in across the three islands in barren rock surfaces between 4-50m with lobsters present. Furthermore whelks, barnacles were mainly present in deep and shallow rocks and caves dispersed within the lobster population, and the rock surfaces were mainly devoid of filter-feeding organisms, along with a high number of empty lobster carcasses (Pollock 1991). This description of the benthic composition of the islands can explain the dietary composition of the sampled lobsters, as whelk flesh, urchins and lobster cannibalism consisted a large majority of the lobster diet. Kelp and seaweed was also recorded in the study across the three islands in the benthic environment, which was the predominant prey item found in the gut analysis of the sampled lobsters. The Pollock 1991 study examined a small sample size of 32 lobster stomachs for analysis, 27 from Nightingale and 5 from Inaccessible, and a quantitative comparison of food consumption was unable to be made from the small number of samples. However, a purely qualitative analysis enabled major food items to be identified, and no distinct differences in these items could be discerned between the two islands (Pollock 1991). Kelp was found in 66% of stomach samples, which is in comparison to my study wear kelp was the most common dietary component and was found in 30.5% of all stomachs across the three...
