Papua New Guinea has highly biodiverse marine life in its deep waters between 100-1300 meters deep, but this region was largely unknown biologically until the BIOPAPUA cruise partnership between the University of Papua New Guinea and the Natural History Museum of Paris. The expedition discovered a high diversity of fish, crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, corals, and other marine animals in the deep sea waters of Papua New Guinea. Many of the fish species require further taxonomic study, and some were previously unknown. Samples collected during the cruise are being studied by scientists worldwide, with the results to be published and shared with the University of Papua New Guinea.

The amazing humpback whales
The humpback whale lives in the North Pacific Ocean and feeds on krill, plankton, and small fish. It uses bubbles to herd its prey and has a scientific name meaning "large-backed." Humpback whales were nearly hunted to extinction but are now protected, with conservation efforts including signs urging people not to pollute the ocean or harm marine life. Their endangerment stems from habitat loss, pollution, and past overhunting when they were mistaken as sea monsters.

This document discusses various types of plankton and their roles in marine ecosystems. It describes phytoplankton like diatoms and dinoflagellates, which are primary producers, as well as zooplankton like copepods that feed on phytoplankton. It also discusses how some marine species like sea turtles, shrimp, and crabs spend part of their life as plankton. Overfishing and bycatch are negatively impacting fish stocks and endangered species like sea turtles, sharks, and tuna.
Ancaman dan pemanfaatan dugong di indonesia
sebelum tahun 1990, populasi dugong di perairan Indonesia ada 10.000 ekor, pada tahun 1990 tinggal 1000 ekor, dan kini mungkin tersisa sedikit sekali.
IUCN sudah memasukan dugong kepada status vulnerable begitu juga di CITES yang memasukannya kedalam Apendiks 1 pada tahun 2007, dan di Indonesia sendiri, dugong berstatus dilindungi berdasarkan Peraturan Pemerintah No 7 tahun 1999 tentang Pengawetan Satwa dan Tumbuhan. Dengan status dilindungi, artinya dugong beserta bagian tubuhnya, tidak boleh ditangkap, diperdagangkan, menyimpan, dan mengkonsumsinya.
Pemanfaatan bentuk lain masih bisa dilakukan yaitu melalui pemanfaatan non ekstraktif seperti dalam bentuk wisata, pendidikan, dan penelitian. Kiswara (2016) menghitung nilai ekonomi dari satu ekor dugong, apabila diperdagangkan atau dikonsumsi hanya Rp 6 juta saja, namun apabila dijadikan kegiatan wisata, nilainya dapat mencapai Rp 6 milyar.
Konservasi melalui pelesatarian dugong diperlukan sekali, selain tindakan pelesatarian terhadap individu dugongnya juga diperlukan pelestarian terhadap habitatnya yang berupa padang lamun.
Biology Powerpoint Coral Reef
The document discusses various aspects of coral reefs, including temperature range, species that inhabit them, and supplies needed for a trip to see the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It describes several organisms commonly found in coral reefs such as nurse sharks, sea turtles, zooxanthellae, seaweed, caulerpa, and zooplankton. Nurse sharks are nocturnal bottom feeders while sea turtles eat jellyfish and plants. Zooxanthellae are algae that provide energy to coral. Seaweed and caulerpa provide food and shelter. Zooplankton are microscopic heterotrophs that eat phytoplankton.
Narwhals Kevin Ennis 1st period
The document summarizes key facts about narwhals. Narwhals are arctic whales that can grow up to 20 feet long. They have a diet consisting of fish, squid, and shrimp. There are an estimated 10,000 to 45,000 narwhals living in the northern arctic seas, particularly around Canada. Some Inuit people hunt narwhals for their tusks.
Lionfishprogrampresentation 12547992334167-phpapp01
Roatan Marine Park is working with several organizations to control the invasive lionfish population in Honduras. Lionfish are native to the Indo-Pacific but were introduced to the Atlantic in the 1980s. They have no natural predators in the Caribbean and reproduce rapidly, consuming large amounts of native fish and crustaceans. To help address the problem, organizations are educating the public and encouraging people to catch and eat lionfish, as eradication is impossible due to their reproduction rate and wide distribution.
Hawaiian monk seal
The Hawaiian monk seal is a mammal that lives in the central Pacific Ocean, inhabiting sandy beaches and shallow lagoons. It has a lot of blubber to keep it warm in the ocean and eats fish, squid, octopus, and lobster. The Hawaiian monk seal is endangered due to historical hunting, current threats of global warming, disease, and loss of habitat. Laws have been passed to protect the Hawaiian monk seal and prevent hunting, but its population remains threatened.
Ecosystema angy
The Pacific Ocean ecosystem contains many aquatic animals like jellyfish, sharks, whales, and dolphins. Coral reefs have the highest diversity of species of all marine ecosystems. Open ocean fauna include dolphins, sharks, whales, and various fish that eat other fish and plankton. Whales primarily eat plankton, which are tiny organisms. The flora of this ecosystem are coral reefs, shorelines, and seaweed. Some plants like seaweed can be eaten by humans. This community of ocean plants and animals interacts in the marine environment.

Narwhals are a species of whale that live in arctic seas, mostly north of Canada. They are carnivorous mammals that grow up to 20 feet long, weigh up to 3,500 pounds, and have dark blue skin with gray spots. Narwhals have a large tusk that is actually a tooth used for social interactions and defense.
Cnidarians
Cnidarians are a large phylum of over 10,000 aquatic and marine species. Jellyfish, which live in bays and oceans, were selected as the focus. Jellyfish swim using pulsating muscle contractions and consume plankton and small fish caught by their tentacles. They lack specialized digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems, instead absorbing oxygen through their skin and digesting food within their gastrovascular cavity before expelling waste through their mouth. Jellyfish reproduce through a complex life cycle involving eggs, sperm, larva, polyps, and medusa stages.

Penguins
Penguins are a group of flightless aquatic birds that live in the Southern Hemisphere, especially Antarctica. They have dark and light plumage that helps with camouflage in the water, and their wings have evolved into flippers to aid in swimming. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, and squid underwater. While popular for their upright waddling and lack of fear of humans, penguin populations are declining due to threats from other marine animals and humans.
Plankton, poly culture & aquaculture
1. Plankton are microscopic or macroscopic aquatic organisms that drift or float in freshwater and marine environments. They are divided into phytoplankton, which are autotrophic plant-like organisms, and zooplankton, which are heterotrophic animal-like organisms.
2. Phytoplankton include algae, diatoms, and dinoflagellates that form the base of aquatic food chains. Zooplankton feed on phytoplankton and include crustaceans like copepods and cladocerans.
3. Polyculture is the practice of culturing multiple fish species together in a pond by selecting species with different feeding habits, from
Environmental issues in hawaii
Coastal erosion is a major environmental issue in Hawaii, with 13 miles of beaches having eroded in the past century and beaches expected to erode up to 40 feet by 2100. Plastic pollution is also a large problem, harming wildlife that ingest microplastics. Hawaii is home to many endangered plant and animal species, with over 400 listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act, as the state has a very high percentage of endemic species.

Disappearance or overlooked or untouched? - A brief history of aquatic gastro...
The aquatic gastropods (marine and freshwater) in Malaysian Borneo (MYB) have an ancient history of 255 years, while the first record was observed in 1767 by the pioneer Carl Linnaeus. Over time, many European, native taxonomists and conservationists have worked on the diverse group of gastropods in the Malaysian part of Borneo (states of Sabah and Sarawak). No previous work has been conducted to assess the historical status of this particular class of Mollusca. The study objective was to reveal the types of aquatic gastropods and the number of published research and expeditions conducted in MYB. The bibliometric analysis found 145 research publications mentioning the names of the region and reporting at least one gastropod species from this geographic region. Over the history of 255 years, a total of 559 gastropod species were reported by different research groups. Between 1767 and 1900, a total of 150 gastropod species were reported, followed by 79 species from 1900 to 2000 and 330 species from 2001 to 2022. The Grubbs test (p<0.05) identified outlier years for the reporting of gastropod species from MYB with 54 new species each in 2011 and 2020 and 39 species in 2001. Over the history of aquatic gastropod research in MYB, the taxonomists making the greatest contribution were Han Raven and his colleagues from Naturalis who reported 111 new species from the region, followed by Nur Leena Wong from Universiti Putra Malaysia (54 new species). The results suggested that reporting of new species from MYB is increasing, which may reflect the many unexplored sites and suggests the existence of as yet unrecorded species in this ecoregion. In this regard further expeditions and research should improve estimates of the true number of aquatic gastropod species in this area. These results can help the regional governments in making a regional biodiversity database as well as in taking decisions regarding aquatic gastropod research and management.

High chlorophyll concentrations detected by satellites indicate large amounts of phytoplankton, including species that produce toxins harming shellfish and fish. This year's unusually large bloom has led to whale deaths in Alaska and fishery closures of clams, crabs, and small fish due to toxins in Oregon, Washington, and California, damaging local economies. Scientists are monitoring the persistent bloom and researching what climate factors may be behind its extreme size in 2015.

“The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul.” – Wyland
“To heal the ocean, we must heal ourselves.” – Dr. Rod Fujita
“People ask: Why should I care about the ocean? Because the ocean is the cornerstone of earth’s life support system, it shapes climate and weather. It holds most of life on earth. 97% of earth’s water is there. It’s the blue heart of the planet-we should take care of our heart. It’s what makes life possible for us. We still have a really good chance to make things better than they are. They won’t get better unless we take the action and inspire others to do the same thing. No one is without power. Everybody has the capacity to do something.” – Dr. Sylvia Earle
Las Islas Galápagos
The Galapagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean west of Ecuador. They are comprised of 13 major islands and several smaller islands formed by volcanic activity. The islands have a unique ecosystem that is home to many exotic plant and animal species found nowhere else in the world. They were discovered in the 16th century and have since been visited by scientists, whalers, and tourists interested in their pristine natural environment. Strict conservation efforts are in place to protect the fragile Galapagos ecosystem from invasive species and overtourism.

BioPapuafish
- 1. Papua New Guinea is located in a region of the highest marine biodiversity of the world. However, the biological data of its deep-sea region are still largely unknown. The BIOPAPUA cruise, a collaborative partnership by the University of Papua New Guinea and Natural Museum of Natural History in Paris, is aimed to fill this gap of biodiversity knowledge from 100 m to 1300 m deep in the waters of Papua New Guinea. The result proves that the deep-sea of Papua New Guinea has a high biodiversity of mega faunal communities including fish, crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, cold water corals and other marine animals. Fishes are one of the main groups of marine animals and generally have a high economic importance. This poster shows a sample of the tremendous diversity in the deep-sea fishes from Papua New Guinea, including those commonly encountered and some unusual species. Many of these species will need detailed studies before they can be placed in the proper taxonomic groups and some were even never discovered before. Many of the other marine animals that were obtained during the BIOPAPUA cruise will be analyzed and studied by scientists throughout the world. Their results will be published and made available to the University of Papua New Guinea through the Department of Biological Sciences. It is estimated that the studies will eventually lead to description of many new species and even new genera.
