Imagine a situation that you are walking on the road, if there is a plastic bag in the middle of the way, will you see it? Most people will see it, and there is someone hired to keep the street clean and tidy on a regular basis. People and the government have both realized the importance of protecting the mainland’s environment while few have noticed the necessity of protecting ocean’s environment. In fact, human’s activities are contributing a lot to the pollution of marine system.
For example, Fisheries and transportation are two aspects that would affect the ocean most. Companies are overfishing for more profit, killing baby fishes and endangered species. Chemical industries are pouring chemical pollutions into the ocean to avoid paying for the dealing fees, Tourists and merchants are buying and selling rare species at will. These are the behaviors that would affect the natural environment of the ocean.
To begin with, In the case of fisheries, overfishing is causing shrinkage of fish groups, and the use of destructive fishing techniques has increased dramatically worldwide, destroying marine mammals and entire ecosystems. Besides, the unawareness of sustainable development is also a huge problem for marine environment. Illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities seems to be increasing as fishers seek to circumvent stricter regulatory rules. When some companies catch fish, they usually want to make a profit as soon as possible, sometimes they even catch the immature fries and make them into food to obtain additional profits. However, they did not realize that this behavior is like killing chickens to take their eggs. Without the fry, the fish group can't continue to grow, and there will be no fish for fishing in the future. Therefore, this behavior will reduce the company's profits. In terms of the environment, with the lack of a large number of fries, the ethnic balance of fish has been broken. A specie’s reduction in biology chain may cause extinction of other species. Therefore, it is necessary to leave time and space for self-recovery for the fish. As the author James A. Wilson said: “Natural environment has coevolved at a relatively broad temporal and spatial scale, and it has coadapted locally and relatively quickly, compared to evolutionary processes” (James A. Wilson 3). In order to protect fish groups, it is necessary to promote scientific management, reasonable fishing, and adhere to the idea of sustainable development.
Another impact of fisheries on the marine environment is the destruction of marine habitats. Including damages to marine plants and pollution from outside waste such as chemical contamination. a terrible fact that magazine “Antarctic Science” told is that “contaminants and their associated impacts are long-lived” (Antarctic Science Volume 21, Issue 1). As the author says, the effects of chemical pollutants are long-term and irreversible. In some places like the.
Exploring the Fascinating World of the Green Sea Ecology, Biodiversity, and C...Avinashyadav156258
The Green Sea is a vast and complex ecosystem that is home to a diverse array of marine species, including fish, crustaceans, mammals, and birds. It is a critical component of the world's oceans and plays a vital role in maintaining the health and well-being of the planet's biodiversity. However, the Green Sea faces numerous threats, including overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and invasive species.
The biodiversity of the Green Sea is one of its most important features. It includes a variety of habitats, such as coral reefs, seagrass beds, and estuaries, which provide essential breeding, feeding, and sheltering grounds for numerous species. Coral reefs are particularly important as they support a high level of biodiversity and provide essential ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and shoreline protection. Unfortunately, coral reefs are under threat due to a variety of factors, including warming oceans, acidification, pollution, and destructive fishing practices.
Seagrass beds are also critical habitats in the Green Sea, providing food and shelter for a variety of species, including sea turtles, fish, and crustaceans. Seagrass beds also play a vital role in nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration, making them important for the overall health of the marine ecosystem. However, seagrass beds are also under threat, primarily from coastal development and pollution.
Estuaries are another important habitat in the Green Sea, serving as critical nurseries for many fish and shellfish species. They are also essential for nutrient cycling and water filtration, making them vital for maintaining the overall health of the ecosystem. Unfortunately, estuaries are under threat from a variety of human activities, including pollution, dredging, and land reclamation.
In addition to habitat destruction, overfishing is a significant threat to the biodiversity of the Green Sea. Many species in the Green Sea are already overexploited, and some are on the brink of extinction. Overfishing can have significant ecological impacts, disrupting food webs and altering the overall structure of the ecosystem.
Pollution is also a major threat to the biodiversity of the Green Sea. Chemical runoff from agriculture, oil spills, and plastic waste all have detrimental effects on marine life. Plastic waste is particularly problematic, as it can persist in the environment for hundreds of years, harming wildlife through ingestion or entanglement.
Climate change is another significant threat to the biodiversity of the Green Sea. Rising temperatures and ocean acidification can have a range of impacts on marine life, including changes in distribution, behavior, and growth rates. Climate change can also lead to more frequent and severe storms, which can damage marine habitats and disrupt ecosystems.
Finally, invasive species can also pose a threat to the biodiversity of the Green Sea. Invasive species are non-native species that are introduced to
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Abstract
The Estuary is an important part of our survival and well-being and allows us to import and
export goods through the world. It is also important because it supports life species such as
plants, animals and sea life that provides us with food and continuing growth for reproduction of
wildlife. Texas Coastline is the largest in the United States and serves for both importing and
exporting of goods and also provides nursery of animal reproduction and for harvesting seafood
for our consumption. This ecosystem is guarded and is maintains to ensure life flourishing and a
balance is important to maintaining our world and environment.

The Texas Coastline Estuary
There are many Estuaries in the world and they are important not just as a way of transportation
but that of our ecosystem. Since rivers of fresh water leads to the bay and mouth of the ocean and
mixes and combines together creating perfect conditions for sustaining sea life and rebirth of the
cycle of life it is important to understand how this works and educate everyone how to protect it.
The Houston-Galveston Texas Coastline is the second largest and busiest in the United States
and is connected to the Gulf of Mexico and is surrounded by sub-tropic marshes, prairies on the
mainland. It is the biggest estuary for harvesting sea life with the exception of Chesapeake Bay
and in the 20th Century boomed because of the oil industry creating one of the largest and busiest
ports in the United States. This is also important because of pollution and chemicals in our
ecosystem and the Houston-Galveston Estuary is made up by four bays; East Bay, West Bay,
Galveston Bay and the Trinity Bayand fed by the Trinity River and San Jacinto River. The bay
covers 600 square miles and is 30 miles long and 17 miles wide (Gulfbase, 2012).
When thinking of Texas Coastline Estuary and the Bay of Galveston and Port of Houston we
need to look at some of the Abiotic or things of non-living things that affect our Biotic living
ecosystem and how these effects our well-being of life.Our wetlands have issues which hold run-
off of pollution which circulates through the marshlands and freshwater wetlands and act as a
filter of this pollution before it reaches the bay and then carried out into the Gulf of Mexico
(GBEP, 2004).
This is a great concern since we drill and produce oil and petroleum products and chemical
plants and with both of these production plants there are chemicals that escape regardless of the
strict Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and our wetlands are the filter for those
contaminants which otherwise would go directly into Galveston Bay and into the Gulf of

Mexico. Even though our marshes and prairies and land absorbs these chemicals they cause
problems for our nesting wildlife and affect their migration and breeding of the birds, turtles and
sea life that we consume and harvest for food. The chemicals that we let into this system and
cause pollution by the release of chemicals and that of pollution of man further polluting trash
into our marshes, forest and prairies affect our bay and gulf by causing hypoxia in our water or
lack of oxygen and causing growth of bacteria in the water affecting mutation and death of the
sea life and causing freshwater to be unsafe for drinking by chemicals seeping in the ground. We
need to understand our affects that we cause on our environment and always be aware of them to
enableus to understand the great lengths we must go through to protect the Estuaries (Roehrborn,
2006).
On the other hand we can look at all the wildlife, sea life and plant-grass lands and look how
valuable they are for the survival of our ecosystem and why they should be protected and
safeguarded. We rely on the wetlands to grow and flourish during the summertime and during
the winter months they start withering and bacteria, algae and fungi breaking them down and
turning them into food for worms, crabs, shrimp, crawfish and fish providing their nourishment
and growth. The cycle continues by the multiplying of them enables the birds, turtles and bigger
fish to feed off of them continuing the cycle of life and life of reproduction and thus we feed on
this chain and cycle to sustain our needs. If there is a break in this cycle then all areas in our
environment and Estuary are affected and alterations causing malnutrition, mutation, lack of
oxygen which affects life and growth to all and trapping more carbon dioxide in the water and
changing the nitrogen causing even death for species or change in nesting and nursery
(Marinebio, n.d.).

When this the Estuaries are affected then it takes all agencies, organizations and people
working together to clean up the trash, the chemicals, water recovery and replenishing the
wetlands, marshes and prairies to return them back to the original condition or as close to their
original condition as possible before the damage of it. Use this is done then it is constantly watch
and tested and tracked for many years to ensure the survival of it and the ecosystem that survives
on the Estuaries (GBEP, 2004).
