“Trash islands” within international waters are mass accumulations of marine debris or litter. These accumulations occur as a result of oceanic pathways called convergence zones. As debris enters the ocean, the different temperatures of the waters create currents, acting like a “highway”. Eventually, the debris becomes bounded and is trapped by ocean gyres, circular ocean currents. The most famous “trash island” is The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located in the Pacific Ocean. The size and mass of

This article is about how a certain toxin from algae is killing many sea lions along the Pacific Coast. The toxin is called domoic acid, and it kills the sea lion’s brain cells. In sea lions, the decrease of brain cells from the domoic acid is causing memory loss, and worsening navigational skills. This makes it very hard for the sea lions to survive, because they need their navigational skills to hunt for food. The toxic algae causing this problem mostly blooms in the Spring, and then last a few

The first Marine arrived at my position and immediately took a knee next to me. As I was continuously engaging the enemy, I heard the Marine speak. In a high pitched, but solid voice I heard the words “I am here to help and where do you need us?” The distinctly female voice was a shock to my ears and I immediately turned to make eye contact.
