...Americans, and communities of color, in marine and fisheries science fields. I am interested in examining how cultural differences, access to resources, and historical connections with the environment affects interest and engagement. In addition, I am interested in exploring ways to utilize informal science education and citizen science programs to reduce the communication gap between science, policy, and communities; and as outlets for students, especially from underrepresented communities to engage in marine science fields. Realizing that there is not a “one size fits all” method when it comes to science education, it is important explore ways to shift the narrative of who can and should be a marine scientist. As a community organizer, I have learned the importance of meeting people where they are and the value of developing relationships and confidence among people, to contribute to decision-making processes. In my experience organizing community of color around...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Fishes are caught essentially for consumption. However, catching fish happens to be a well-known recreational pastime as well. Recreational fishing is also known as sport fishing. The main motive behind recreational fishing is pleasure or relaxation along with competition in some cases. It should not be mixed with subsistence or commercial fishing. While subsistence fishing is for basic survival, commercial fishing is essentially for profit. In some countries, recreational fishing has various rules as well as regulations to follow and enjoy the process. The regulations that are imposed on recreational fishing include the laws and the licensing restrictions that deal with limiting the procedures by which the fish might be caught. The most typical of these restrictions include prohibition in using nets and using hooks that are not into the mouth. The most usual form of such fishing is done with the aid of line, reel, rod, hooks, etc. These devices should be used along with the huge range of available baits. In order to help the individuals in the act of fishing, devices called terminal tackle are also used widely. The devices that are generally considered under terminal tackle include floats, swivels, weights, etc. These devices usually help to complement the bait that is being presented to the target. Sometimes lures, instead of baits are also used in recreational fishing. Some of the enthusiastic individuals insist...

...“THE EFFECT OF STUDY HABITS OF SELECTED MARINE STUDENT TO THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE” A Research Paper Presented to the College of Arts Department In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course English Presented To Sir. Joel E. Payapa, Ed.D Presented By Cercado, Joshua Kim T. Daniel, John Daniel M. De Guzman, John Odilon T. March 15, 2013 Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The extent of student’s learning in academics may be determined by the grades a student earns for a period of learning has been done. It is believed that a grade is a primary indicator of such learning. If a learner earns high grades it is concluded that they may also have learned a lot while low grades indicate lesser learning. However, many experiences and studies found out that there are also several factors that would account for the grades. No single factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting grades. It has been an inter play of so many factors – gender, IQ, study habits, age, year level, parent’s educational attainment, social status, number of siblings, birth order, etc. In fact, almost all of existing environmental and personal factors are a variable of academic performance. However, at this point in time, there searchers would like to investigate the possible relationship of study habits and the factors affecting it to the academic achievement of under graduate...

...Ethics: Behavior, Sustainability and Social Responsibility 2 August 2013 Abstract Though there are business leaders and philosophers that object to the belief or need of exhausting time, money or resources for the welfare of its people, be it consumers or employees, data indicates that those who do recognize their noblesse oblige will prosper (BP, pg 149). Practicing ethical business operations has been a talked about subject since the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Whether it is sustainability or social responsibility, approaches to business ethics have yet to be standardized. At the peak of today’s ethical environmental dilemmas stands Monsanto, the organization that prides itself on the ability to create sustainable agriculture. There are also scandals with regard to scrupulous or fraudulent investors, such as Bernard Madoff, who prosper at the expense of trusting individuals. Lending institutions have also taken advantage of the financially ill-informed consumers who have lost their homes and in some cases their families and lives as a result of subprime lending practices (cite). Toyota, who was once known as one of the world’s fastest growing auto makers (cite) deliberately ignored the safety of its consumers in effort to continue maximizing its profits. Organizations lacking business morals must understand that responsibility does not rest on one source, but rather it should be a collaborative effort between the companies, governments, and individuals...

...Introduction & Thesis Statement We have seen according to the International Shark Attack File “the number of unprovoked shark attacks has grown steadily since 1900, despite an overall decline in shark populations”. (Amin, 2012, p. 189) We walk through our negotiations to make it legal to hunt sharks and eliminate a threat to humans. A threat that is increasing as our world population’s increase. Shark attacks have affected, business, tourism, our safety, and could impact our health. Allowing us to fish for sharks, can eliminate a threat, we have lived with for hundreds of years. Body Today we meet to introduce Bill No. 6-142 into the senate. This will be recorded as our Fourth Regular Session. This bill has been created as an amendment to “Title 27 of the Palau National Code to prohibit foreign fishing vessels from fishing within a 50 nautical mile radius to the east of the reef entrance to Malakal Harbor; to prohibit foreign fishing vessels from taking reef fish, turtles, rays, sharks,” (Techera, 2012, p. 6) If this bill is passed we will be putting unnecessary lives at the risk. We have discussed the arguments we need to punish “any person who is found by the Supreme Court in a civil proceeding to have committed an act prohibited by section 181 of this title shall be liable to the national government for a civil penalty which shall not exceed $500,000 for each violation.” (Techera, 2012, p. 6) These fishermen would be protecting the lives of numerous individuals...

...Criteria of a Good Mission Statement Changing the mission or creating an organization’s first mission statement is a process of gathering ideas and suggestions for the mission and honing them into a short, sharply focused phrase that meets specific criteria. An effective mission statement clearly defines who the customer is and what services and products the business intends to provide. It also serves as a guide for day-to-day operations and as the foundation for future decision-making. The following are criteria for a good mission statement: The Mission Statement is Focuses on Satisfying Customer Needs A mission statement should focused on satisfying customer needs rather than being focused on the product. Products and technologies eventually become outdated, but basic market needs may last forever. A market-oriented mission statement defines the business in terms of satisfying basic customer needs. For examples refer to the following “Market-Oriented Business Definitions” table. (Kotler p.49) The Mission Statement Tells “Who” Our Customers are. (Thompson Strickland, p.30) Who is being satisfied? A company should define the type of customers it wishes to serve. Which customer groups it is targeting. Customer groups are relevant because they indicate the market to be served, the geographic domain to be covered, and the types of buyers the firm is going after. The Mission Statement Explains “What” Customer Needs Our Company is Trying to Satisfy. What customer needs is the...

CASE INTRODUCTION: A. Brief History: One of the most common abuse resources is our maritime environment and some other crimes transpired from this site. The plan of eliminating and minimizing the abuses of our resources in our maritime environment had been constituted in our constitution mandating the creation of one national Police Force which is civilian in character. The passing of law of RA 6975 on December 13, 1990 merge and reorganization the integrated national police and the PC or Philippine Constabulary into the encompassing Philippine national police (PNP) which was activated on January 29,1991. Consequently, NHQ PNP General Order no. 58 created the maritime police command on January 16, 1991 to be one of its National Support Units. The newly created unit was then a conglomeration of several personnel from the services of the AFP and the INP. During the integration, naval officers signified their intentions to join the PNP. Likewise, organic members of the Philippine marine Corps and the Philippine Coastguard also join the maritime Command. The advent of RA 6975deactivated the Philippine constabulary in l990 and subsequently COSAC (Constabulary Off-Shore Anti-Crime Rebellion)colors were encased...

...Task 1 I finished my A-levels, determined that what I wanted to study was shoe design. Having taken mostly artistic subjects during the 2 years of my a levels I had an objective to go to university and study this course, because I liked art and being creative, although I was not sure what I could do with my degree after I completed it. Taking a year out to work at Travelex helped me to gain insight into business management and marketing and find out more about myself; learning about things that interested me and were not just school related. After consideration, I decided that a marketing degree was necessary to further my career prospects and build my career on, opposed to my original plan of going for an artistic course. In three years’ time this degree will help me to find a job within marketing by giving me the knowledge that I need to progress further in a field that is very competitive, allow me to project ideas and thoughts in an effective way, and also challenge me not only academically but also creatively. This will then help me to progress further in this field by enabling me to apply everything I learnt and gained whilst studying this course. Task 3 | | Outside | Inside | Positives | Emotional | Emotional factors outside of university: being able to listen, your self-esteem and confidence within your working environment and when out, being sympathetic and showing empathy towards your friends and colleagues and also customers.

Next, I would like to thank my dear family for their generous, unwavering support and encouragement. Finally, I would like to thank the Student International Discussion Group and the Environmental Internship Fund at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University for funding my research. -2- ABSTRACT In the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is building three colossal artificial islands— each in the shape of a palm tree—in the Arabian Gulf. This has prompted several other Gulf countries to construct artificial islands. To determine the impacts of the first of these Palm Islands, The Palm Jumeirah, I traveled to Dubai and interviewed governmental agencies, environmental groups, and the developer’s environmental scientists. I analyzed the island’s impacts on marine wildlife as well as the developer’s mitigation efforts and the developer’s compliance with the relevant environmental laws. The Palm Jumeirah has buried and asphyxiated wildlife, increased turbidity, and changed...
