This document discusses the importance of sharks for life on Earth. It explains that sharks help maintain the balance of ocean ecosystems by preying on smaller fish that eat phytoplankton and algae. This allows phytoplankton and algae to thrive, which produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, regulating the carbon cycle that supports all life on Earth. The loss of sharks has caused populations of smaller fish to increase, threatening phytoplankton, algae, and coral reefs, which provide habitat for many ocean species.
The world’s oceans are home to an incredibly diverse array of life and are vital to human health, livelihood, and culture. Despite these rich benefits, oceans, marine wildlife, and their ecosystems continue to be damaged by human activities. Watch this presentation to learn more!

Threat of sea turtle Rajeev raghavan Kufos kerala Ashish sahu
Sea turtles, sometimes called marine turtles, are reptiles of the order Testudines and of the suborder Cryptodira. The seven existing species of sea turtles are the green sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, olive ridley sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, flatback sea turtle, and leatherback sea turtle.
Sea turtle, any of seven species of marine turtles belonging to the families Dermochelyidae (leatherback sea turtles) and Cheloniidae (green turtles, flatback sea turtles, loggerhead sea turtles, hawksbills, and ridleys).
Seven different species of sea (or marine) turtles grace our ocean waters, from the shallow seagrass beds of the Indian Ocean, to the colorful reefs of the Coral Triangle, and even the sandy beaches of the Eastern Pacific. WWFs work on sea turtles focuses on five of those species: green, hawksbill, loggerhead, leatherback and olive ridley.

I created this lesson on shark finning for earth day 2014. It was inspired by the NGO group Sea Save's campaign called "Give Em the Fin". I used it for a Grade 3 and Grade 7 ESL class. I have added in all the websites I used in the NOTES section.
Telling the News with Pictures: Volcano in the CongoLaura McKenzie
This was made for ESL students to practice their question forming, building story telling skills, and speculating about pictures in order to develop conversational skills.
This PowerPoint only uses 3 slides with pictures, but has tasks on each slide for students to practice and teachers to monitor.
This lesson was designed for ESL students at a Jr. High level and above. It introduces the Occupy Movement and is meant to give students enough information to have a discussion and share opinions at the end of the lesson. There is a link to a news video at the end which students are expected to be able to answer questions about. This is meant to give the students authentic listening practice.
With Earth Day quickly approaching I put together this conversational based lesson for my school. It was made for elementary ESL learners from grade 1 to 6. It is positive and focuses on what each child can do daily to make a difference. I hope you can enjoy it.
This is designed for an ESL class of learners. It gives activities for the students as you move along in the power point. Aimed to help question building and telling a story.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Encryption in Microsoft 365 - ExpertsLive Netherlands 2024Albert Hoitingh
In this session I delve into the encryption technology used in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Purview. Including the concepts of Customer Key and Double Key Encryption.
2. What would happen on Earth if sharks
became extinct like the dinosaurs?
Would life change or stay the same?
3. Why are sharks so important to Earth
and people?
• The ocean makes 70% of our O2
(air/oxygen) and breathes 80% of
CO2 (carbon dioxide).
• This O2 is made by ocean plants
called algae and phytoplankton.
• Algae and phytoplankton
breathe CO2 ,and with sunlight
and water, they make energy.
They then breathe out O2 . This is a
cycle. It is called the carbon
cycle.
• All life on Earth needs O2 to live.
How many names of living things do
you know need air to live?
4. How do sharks protect
phytoplankton and
green algae?
Sharks eat huge amounts of
small fish and
crustaceans. These
animals eat
phytoplankton and green
algae.
The number of sharks in the
world is getting smaller
each day. So the number of
animals that eat
phytoplankton and green
algae gets bigger.
This happens in the deep
oceans and in shallow seas.
How will this effect how
much O2 is made on Earth?

5. What else do sharks do to help the oceans?
Make Healthy ReefsMake Healthy Reefs
• On reefs, sharks help keep
the number of different kinds
of fish and sea life healthy.
• Reefs are important because
they have ocean plants.
• Do you remember what ocean
plants eat?
• Reefs are only on 1% of the
ocean floor, but reefs are the
home to 25% of all marine
species (ocean animals).
• What are some different
things that could happen if
all the reefs died?
Sharks are needed for reefs to grow,
survive and be healthy.
6. How do sharks’ diet make a reef healthy?How do sharks’ diet make a reef healthy?
• Since sharks are the top
predator, they help keep the
number of fish that eat algae and
coral at a healthy number. That
way reefs stay healthy too.
• Sharks also eat sick and weak fish
so fish families can stay strong and
healthy.
7. What does a balanced reef lookWhat does a balanced reef look

A balanced reef has a smaller
number of top predators, a
larger number plant eating fish,
and even a larger number algae

Which one of these sharks would like to go to English class?
11. Police Sharks: Watching
the Oceans for our
Health
What are the names of
sharks which live around
reefs?
The cycle of life on a reef
needs larger fish (predators)
to eat smaller fish and sea
creatures (prey). These
smaller fish are larger in
number and eat algae and
coral. If there are too many
of these smaller fish then
reefs will eventually die,
making our oceans sick.
Without sharks, reefs are in
danger!

12. 1. Why is having a
balanced amount of
phytoplankton and
green algae important
for life on Earth?
2. How do sharks help
make breathing possible
on Earth?
What can you
remember about what
you just learned?
3. Why is our O2 and
sharks in danger
today?
4. What can you do to
help sharks and our
air?
13. How people are killing sharks?
- People cut the fins off sharks
and throw their bodies into the
ocean.
- Sharks are usually still alive
when it is thrown back into the
water.
- They can’t swim without fins
and they can’t breath without
swimming.
- They usually sink to the bottom
and get eaten by other fish or die
from losing blood and air.
- 100 million +/-
sharks are killed
each year, mostly for soup.
- This means almost 200 sharks
a are being killed every minute.
Fins are sold for a lot of money and made
into soup.
How many sharks have been killed since we began
talking about sharks?
Use this slide as an ice breaker to talk about connections and relationships between sharks, the environment, and people. See what the kids or adults come up with on their own. Should only take 3 to 4 minutes to get their brains going in the direction you want for this lesson.

Discuss the “cycle of life” by referencing other life cycles children are familiar with. Ask students why the diagram is shaped like a triangle? Read the information below, or go to the site: http://aquaviews.net/scuba-guides/visual-indicators-of-a-healthy-reef/ So you can further explain why the different types are important to a healthy reef. Summarize as you feel is proper for your group of students. Abundance of Herbivorous Fish – Parrotfish, Surgeonfish and Tangs The first good sign of a healthy coral reef is the abundance of Herbivorous Fish primarily Parrotfish and Surgeonfish. Herbivorous fish keep algae populations in check which often compete with the corals for sunlight, nutrients and space. While there are several species of algae eating herbivorous fish, the reason these two species are the ones to look out for is that Parrotfish usually eat the harder, calciferous algae which most species do not prefer. Surgeonfish and Tangs tend to graze on the softer algae allowing existing corals thrive. So spotting plenty of parrotfish and Surgeonfish on a dive would be a good indicator that the reef is doing. Sea Urchins Sea Urchins are a strange indicator of a healthy reef system as they can be both beneficial and harmful to a coral reef depending on their numbers on a reef. Urchins are often known as the lawnmowers of the sea as they feed on a wide variety of marine algae and sea grasses, which helps slow-growing corals to compete for limited reef space. Areas of coral reef that have seen the absence of sea urchins, have gradually gone into decline with uncontrolled algae growth. However the abundance of Sea Urchins can also cause the complete elimination of algae and sea weed robbing the nourishment that mollusks and herbivorous fish rely on also causing the destruction of the reef. Spotting a reasonable amount of sea urchins would signify a fit reef. The Presence of Large Fish & Apex Predators The largest fish on a coral reef in decline are usually the first to go. The presence of Barracuda, Jacks, Grouper, Snapper and large Potato Cod, Napoleon Wrasse which are the predators in the food chain, indicate that there is a healthy balance of fish in the reef. Even the Herbivorous fish should have a good number of large sized adults and not just juveniles which indicate poor reef conditions. Octopuses are primary predators on clams and shellfish and their presence in the reef also signifies a healthy shellfish population. If the reef has numerous smaller fish, and no larger pelagic, or adult carnivores, it is a sure sign that the reef is either in decline or recovering from a decline. Sharks Sighting sharks in a reef is a prime indicator that the ecosystem is thriving. Reef Sharks, black-tip, white tip or grey sharks, keep the larger fish populations in check and form the Apex predators of the reef ecosystem. The absence of large-bodied predators at the apex of marine food chains can result in large-scale changes in the abundances of other species and cause an imbalance in the reef. So sighting a shark is a good sign that things are well on the reef. Abundance of Giant Clams, Conches, and Molluscs What makes Giant Clams a good indicator of a healthy reef is the fact that these endangered creatures are highly sensitive to changes in the water acidity and temperature and perish were conditions are less than perfect. Giant Clams are of vital importance to the reef as they act as nurseries for a host of fish and invertebrates as well as shrimp. Clam shells provide the perfect substrates for attachment for several species of sponges, coral and algae which promote the development of the reef. Clams, conches and molluscs are also filter feeders – sifting plankton debris from the water for food, improving overall water quality in the reef. Smaller grazer molluscs like Abalone and snails also help keep algae growth in check.
This slide gives you a good chance to look and talk about different fish which live on a reef. Which fish have kids seen before? Eaten? What do they know about the different types of fish. Cool fact: Parrot fish can change from female to male or male to female. All parrot fish are basically born hermaphrodites. If, within there school there are not enough males or females, parrot fish will change their sex to ensure their species will survive. They usually live about 7 years.
