Halophytes are salt-tolerant plants that grow in saline environments like coastal marshes and mangroves. The research studied two common Venezuelan halophytes - Batis maritima and Salicornia spp. These plants contain protein and minerals and have potential for human consumption. After validating their nutritional properties and safety, the halophytes could be used on their own or combined with other ingredients like flour, pulses, roots or tubers to produce foods. Standardized methods could be used to select, clean, grind and dry the halophytes and other plants to make simple or composite flours. These flours could then be combined to develop foods for both regular consumers and those with special diets.

Two-thirds of U.S. marine aquaculture involves shellfish farming, which is the only sustainable form that does not harm the environment. The Pacific oyster and Mediterranean mussel are suitable for farming off the coast of California due to their large size, fast growth, disease resistance, and tolerance of varying conditions. Offshore farming in the open ocean offers advantages like stronger currents that promote growth and prevent issues like predation and pollution faced in bays. Santa Barbara Mariculture has developed techniques for the first offshore shellfish farm on the West Coast, and expanding this industry could help California's economy and food security while preserving the environment.

(FINAL) ROUGH DRAFT FOR SENIOR RESEARCH Jennifer Edit 4-14-15
This document is a senior research paper that analyzes temporal and spatial trends in sea turtle strandings and nesting in Volusia County, Florida from 1989-2012. It finds that sea turtle strandings in Volusia County have increased over time and are correlated with increases in both the county and state human populations. Strandings are dominated by loggerhead and green sea turtles. Despite rising strandings, nesting numbers have also increased, likely due to the county's aggressive nest protection programs. The analysis aims to better understand relationships between strandings, nesting, human activities, and environmental factors like temperature to inform sea turtle conservation efforts.

The document discusses the future of aquaculture. It notes that overfishing has led to depletion of popular fish in oceans, with 90% of fisheries deemed overexploited. Aquaculture involves farming fish and shellfish in various water sources for food and other products. The benefits of aquaculture include boosting the industry and jobs as well as meeting demand without overfishing wild species. However, concerns include the harvesting of other fish for feed disrupting ecosystems, and fish being raised in inhumane or disease-spreading conditions.
14 - The Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands have existed for up to 20 million years as volcanic islands rose from the ocean floor due to tectonic plate movement. Charles Darwin was keenly interested in how unique yet similar organisms colonized the isolated islands during his visit. Modern research like the Grant's decades long study of Galapagos finches showed that competition leads to greater distinction between closely related species over time. However, the islands are now in conflict as scientists wish to preserve them for further study while some local inhabitants wish to exploit the natural resources for economic gain.

MGCCC Aimie poster final
The roots of saltmarsh plants collected from a marsh behind the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory were found to be colonized with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, whereas plants from other coastal locations were not colonized. This suggests that the marsh behind the lab may be low in nutrients, requiring the symbiotic relationship with fungi for improved nutrient uptake, while other areas along the shoreline have higher nutrient levels. Further study of sediment nutrients is needed to confirm this hypothesis. Microscopic examination revealed the presence of mycorrhizal fungi in stained root samples, while uncolonized roots remained unstained.

It provides examples of exotic fish species introduced in India from other parts of the world between 1870-1972 for purposes like experimental culture, mosquito control, and aquarium keeping. It then discusses the potential impacts of exotic fish introductions, including predation on native species, competition for resources, habitat alteration, transmission of diseases and parasites, genetic effects, and economic impacts. The document concludes with recommendations for steps that should be taken to prevent adverse impacts from exotic fish introductions.
Seaweeds
The document provides information on seaweeds or macroalgae. It discusses their taxonomy, structure, ecology, common genera and uses. Seaweeds are a source of food, hydrocolloids like agar and carrageenan used in food production, and have applications in medicine, fertilizer, and other industrial uses. The Philippines cultivates various seaweed species like Eucheuma and Kappaphycus which are sources of carrageenan, an emulsifier used in food and other industries. Seaweed farming involves selecting a suitable pollution-free site and using culture methods like stakes, suspended ropes, or raft and spider web systems to grow the seaweeds.
Introduction of exotic fish & its impact on biodiversity
This document discusses the introduction of exotic fish species around the world and their impacts. Some key points:
1) Exotic fish species have been introduced for various purposes like improving fisheries, aquaculture, and mosquito control. However, they can negatively impact native species through genetic changes, competition for resources, and spreading of diseases.
2) In India, many exotic trout and carp species from places like the UK, Sri Lanka, and Thailand have been introduced since the 1860s for experimental culture and stocking water bodies.
3) The impacts of exotic fish introductions include reduction of native populations and genes pools, hybridization leading to genetic pollution or species extinction, and alteration of aquatic ecosystems through pred

This document discusses the significance of mangrove forests. Some key points:
- Mangroves occur in tropical regions and cover around 17-20 million hectares globally. They act as coastal stabilizers, providing shelter and barriers against erosion.
- Mangroves support high levels of biodiversity, including over 250 mammal species, and provide resources to humans like fuel, building materials, and traditional medicines.
- Mangroves play an important role in mitigating issues like sea level rise from global warming and stabilizing coastal communities. Their roots also trap sediments and help build land over long periods.
- While difficult to value financially, mangroves provide important ecological, economic, and cultural benefits. Their
Diaphorina
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, is native to Asia but has been present in South America for decades. In 1998, it was discovered for the first time in the Caribbean Basin in Guadeloupe and Florida. Since then, it has spread widely throughout the Caribbean and neighboring regions, including the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Mexico, and Texas. D. citri primarily damages citrus by transmitting pathogens that cause citrus greening disease. In July 2004, citrus greening disease was reported for the first time in the Western Hemisphere in Brazil.

This document describes a study comparing the bacterial communities associated with two jellyfish species, Nemopsis bachei and Aurelia aurita, collected from coastal waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. Bacterial communities associated with each jellyfish species were distinct from surrounding seawater communities and from each other. N. bachei hosted Gammaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Alphaproteobacteria, including potential symbionts like Tenacibaculum sp. A. aurita hosted potential symbionts from the order Mycoplasmatales and more unclassified bacteria and Cyanobacteria. The results suggest different jellyfish species in the North Atlantic promote growth of distinct microbial communities and could differentially impact bioge

Macrophytes in Niger Delta Inland Waters
Aquatic macrophytes functions in several ways in water bodies, they are critical to Niger Delta inland waters because they enhance the physical structure of the habitat which serves as living space for small aquatic animals and play a vital role in fisheries production. Macrophytes play an important role in the aquatic environment but unfortunately very little attention is being directed towards the conservation of these aquatic resources and they can get out of control and create problems when they are not properly managed. This paper examines common aquatic macrophytes in Niger Delta in Nigeria with emphasis on benefits, problems and also proffers best practices for adequately managing the macrrophytes in Niger Delta inland waters.

Introduce to Whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is a threat in Aquacultu...Nazmul Haque Syekat, Noakhai Science & Technology University.
Whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei), also known as Pacific white shrimp or King prawn, is a variety of prawn of the eastern Pacific Ocean commonly caught or farmed for food.L. vannamei is a decapod crustacean which is native to the Eastern Pacific Coast of Central and
South America from Tumbes, Peru in the south to Mexico in the north. It has been introduced widely around the world since the 1970s, but especially since 2000, as it has become the principle
cultured shrimp species in Asia. The species itself is not considered a major threat to biodiversity, does not appear to have formed breeding populations, and has generally resulted in positive economic impacts in non-indigenous areas. An examination of current lists of invasive species
published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Invasive Species Specialist Group (IUCN, 2004) revealed no listings for L. vannamei. As mentioned, L. vannamei has been anthropogenically introduced as an aquaculture species to several areas of the world to which it is
not native.

Nazmul Haque Syekat"Influence of Trees to Biodiversity"
"When trees burn, they leave the smell of heartbreak in the air."
Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life you’ll find in one area—the variety of animals, plants, fungi, and even microorganisms like bacteria that make up our natural world. Each of these species and organisms work together in ecosystems, like an intricate web, to maintain balance and support life. Biodiversity supports everything in nature that we need to survive: food, clean water, medicine, and shelter.

- 2. Halophytes are tolerant plants, that grows in waters of high salinity, coming into contact with saline water through its roots or by salt spray, such as in saline semi- deserts, mangrove swamps, marshes and sloughs, and seashores. It has been conducted research to establish the characteristics of the soil where the plants is developed (Medina et al., 2008), and which are the most common plants (Cumana et al, 2010) developed in Venezuela. The genus Batis (family Bataceae), only has two species. Batis maritima L, which occurs in the Neotropics in coastal salt marshes and mangroves from Georgia and Brazil on the Atlantic coast and California to Peru on the Pacific Coast of North and South America and is widely distributed in the Caribbean Basin And, Batis agrillicola P. Royan, is endemic to coastal areas of northern Australia Salicornia spp, is a genus of succulent plants tolerant to salts that grow in salt marshes, on beaches and mangroves. Both of they are source of protein and minerals with potential for human consumption. After validation of its nutritional properties and safety, they could be used as a single ingredient or in combination (composite flours) with other domestic inputs; such as flour, pulses, roots, tubers and Musa in order to produce food.
