conservationist approach had problems and he jotted it down to two main concerns, first it doesn’t understand the interconnectedness of nature we cannot manipulate one part of nature and the expect the other to be same. Secondly it sees earth as dead whereas ecology views everything on this earth as living. He talks about how Leopold recognized that we need to look at a broader perspective and think like a mountain so that nature can be saved. 8.2 According to Leopold’s land ethics all land should be treated

and complex waterways (United States Environmental Protection Agency). Fishing is a main industry in the Puget Sound area. It accounts for more than $100 million in the state of Washington’s economy (Radtke, 2011). Fisheries are the study of the ecology of fish in a given environment. In oceanography it is defined as ecological organization of a biome, community, population, or species (Govoni, 2005). There are many different sectors of fisheries to study. For example, abundance and distribution

latitudes (Rohde, 2011). As early as 1807, von Humboldt provided the first formulation for this hypothesis (based on climate) to explain latitudinal gradients of richness (Hawkins 2001) which has remained one of the key questions in Evolutionary Ecology. No single pattern of biodiversity has fascinated ecologists more than the increase of richness toward the Tropics (Pianka 1966; Rohde 1992; Rosenzweig 1995; Gaston and Blackburn 2000). Still, there is an astonishing lack of consensus about the mechanisms

vegetation. These animals were also responsible for the decline and extinction of many native species. Other introduced species thrived very successfully, but this resulted in major damage of the ecosystem in Australia. The most dangerous Australia’s ecology has gotten was when the cane toad was introduced. Its purpose was to get rid of the native cane beetle, which was destroying much of the sugar cane crop. The cane toad’s population increased dramatically, causing tons of environmental damage. These
