The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s Outlook Report for the Great Barrier Reef in 2014 stated: “Climate change remains the most serious threat to the Great Barrier Reef. It is already affecting the reef and is likely to have far-reaching consequences in the decades to come.” Sediment, nutrient and pesticide pollution from catchment runoff is having a major impact on the health and resilience of the reef ecosystem. The amount of sediment flowing into the marine park has quadrupled over

Learning How To Catch Post Spawn Bass One of the most difficult times of the year to catch bass is the post spawn period. This is a transition time for the bass and the bass fisherman. The bass are worn out from the rigors of spawning. Some fishermen are worn out too! From catching fish! During the spawning period the bass are somewhat easy to catch. Most of them are in the shallows. This eliminates ninety percent of the water you have to check to find fish. You only have a small number of tactics

Do you know how many coral reefs are hurt by pollution? Scientists say that by 2050 70% of coral reefs will be destroyed do to pollution. In 1972 the Florida department of environmental protection gave authority to over 1,000 boats to drop 700,000 used tires bound together off the coast to create an artificial reef. This reef is known as the “fail” Osborn reef. Present day 40 years later we are now picking up those tires, one by one off of the ocean floor due to the fact that they have created a

joy of marine biology. Swimming with sharks are only part of the thrill of a marine biologist. Environmental science states that a typical schedule is working 40-50 hours a week is usual but you could be working more or less depending on the project you are working on (Environmental science 48). This often leaves marine biologist very busy and often times can not spend time with their family. Just in case marine biology does not work out their are

Did you know that about 14 billion pounds of garbage is dumped in the ocean each year? This is very concerning because if we don’t choose to get rid of our garbage the right way, we aren’t only hurting the lives of plants and animals, we are also putting our own lives on the line. Most of the garbage is plastic from bottles, wrappers, straws, and bags. These plastic objects harm the plants and animals living in the ocean. This is one huge reason we need to recycle. Additionally, we need to recycle

In fact, and unsurprisingly, plastic pollution is detrimental to most forms of marine life. According to Ocean Crusaders, a non-profit organization dedicated to the removal of plastic from the world’s oceans, “Approximately 100,000 marine creatures of nearly 300 species die each year from plastic consumption or entanglement” (Ocean Crusaders). What’s terrifying is that these figures only represent the marine life that washes ashore or winds up in fishing nets. This overwhelming presence of plastic
