Marine debris comes from both land-based and ocean-based sources, with 80% originating on land. It has a variety of negative impacts on coastal ecosystems, such as entanglement, ingestion, and serving as a vector for toxic pollutants. Efforts to clean up marine debris include removing debris already in the oceans, installing filters on storm drains to intercept debris before it reaches waterways, and enacting laws and regulations to reduce future debris entering the environment.
Plastic marine is one of the biggest problems affecting marine environment as wall as fisheries. Different types of plastic marine debris have their different sources of origin and their ill effects on the aquatic biota and ultimately the overall environment. Some national and international management policies and measures are also formulated and implemented especially considering the plastic marine debris.
The hazardous impact of microplastics in aquatic environments calls for more scientific research to understand their occurrence, effects and mitigation strategies. This work describes the analysis of primary and secondary microplastics using FTIR and FTIR microscopy techniques.

Ocean Acidification: Cause, Impact and mitigationIIT Kanpur
Ocean Acidification and the battle for Carbonate.
In this presentation the points covered are detailed briefing of ocean acidification, its causes, its impact on marine ecosystems and measures to mitigate this.
Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic pieces with size less than 5mm that have entered and polluted the environment.
While many investigations including several critical reviews on MPs in the environment have been
conducted, most of them are focused on their occurrences in marine environment
The global production of plastics is increasing, and that increase is accompanied by an increase in plastic waste.
Part of this waste makes its way into the marine environment in the form of micro-plastics, small particles of plastic that can either be produced as plastic pellets, or result from the degradation of plastic objects such as bags, clothes, household items as well as building materials and fishing and aquaculture gear that has been discarded or lost.
What do we know about the extent of this problem?
An informative and interactive educational experience with a video link and quiz included that teaches students about the effects of plastic pollution in our oceans.
This powerpoint presentation deals with the types of coastal/marine pollution, its causes and sources, coastal pollution in the world, coastal pollution in India, causes of coastal pollution in India and its impacts.
Marine pollution is the introduction by man, directly or indirectly, of substances or energy into the marine environment (including estuaries), resulting in such deleterious effects as: harm to living resources; hazards to human health; hindrance to marine activities including fishing; impairing the quality for use of sea water and reduction of amenities
Marine Pollution
Pollution is the introduction of harmful contaminants that are outside the norm for a given ecosystem.
“The introduction by man, directly, or indirectly, of substances or energy to the marine environment resulting in deleterious effects such as: hazards to human health, hindrance to marine activities, impairment of the quality of seawater for various uses and reduction of amenities.”-UN definition of marine pollution
Common man-made pollutants that reach the ocean include:
pesticides,
herbicides,
chemical fertilizers,
detergents,
oil,
sewage,
plastics,
and other solids.

Description: A thorough presentation that highlights many of the devastations that occur in Hawai'i due to our trash. They go into very extensive detail of the effects our trash has on our food, marine life, and community.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
