I’d left a note on the bench for Joan, and tiptoed out of the house. There were still dewdrops coatin’ the grass, and I could hear my breath leavin’ my mouth as I walked my way through the town.

I listened, and my ears picked up the familiar melody. There sat a Bluebird, its bright blue wings shimmering in the sun. It sat there without a care in the world and didn’t move a muscle or fly with any other birds. It just sat and sang it’s song.. I sat in this spot often, and just listened.

Everything on Earth that ever was, is, or will be emerged from those mysterious, immense bodies of water. It is hard for the mind to fathom such a concept; we originated from that. Our features, our intelligence, our everything came from a such a simple compound in an enormous amount. In essence, the ocean gave birth to us through

An Ocean Adventure As I watch, the waves from the shore look fun and almost innocent as they crest and then crash over one another. I can taste the salt in the air and watch little rainbows glisten through the prisms of the ocean’s spray. The warm ocean water toward the shore is covered with foam and bubbles from the rumbling waves as children and their families play in the gritty tan colored sand. I think to myself, “This is perfect”. I make the final preparations on my Yamaha Waverunner. All

The average pH of ocean surface waters has already fallen by about 0.1 units, from about 8.2 to 8.1 since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Estimates of projected future atmospheric and oceanic CO2 concentrations indicate that, by the end of this century, the average surface ocean pH could be 0.2 to 0.4 lower than it is today (IPCC 2014). The two main influences on sea level rise are the melting of land ice of glaciers and the ice cap on greenland and the change in density as result of
