Harp seal
The Harp seal is native to northern Atlantic and Arctic oceans. It has a black harp-shaped marking on its back and black face with silvery-grey body. Though they were nearly extinct due to overhunting, conservation efforts have helped increase the population, but threats from predators, loss of habitat and food sources, and pollution still endanger the species.
Animal in capitivity
The document discusses the issues with keeping marine animals in captivity. It notes that animals in captivity suffer from stress due to being confined in small tanks, unnatural social groupings, loud noises from crowds, and artificial lighting. This leads to health problems, early death, and failing immune systems compared to the over 9 years they would live in the wild. The document also explains how habitat loss from human activity is a major threat to marine animals in their natural ocean environment.
Blanding's Turtle Management Plan
The document provides a management plan for Blanding's Turtles at the Clapp Waterfowl Production Area in Wisconsin. It includes a literature review of the turtle's life history, habitat requirements, and threats. The plan aims to protect the threatened species through habitat management, population monitoring, preventing road mortality, and educating the public. Key points are that Blanding's Turtles require wetland habitats and deep water for overwintering, nest predation and road deaths are major threats, and protecting habitat is important for the species' recovery.
Captivity IS Cruelty
Captivity causes harm to dolphins based on several factors: dolphins in the wild can swim 40 miles per day but captive dolphins only spend 20% of their time underwater; over 50% of captive dolphins will die within 7 years which is much shorter than their lifespan in the wild; and the process of capturing dolphins from the wild is a brutal massacre that disrupts their natural habitat and behaviors like hunting for live fish. The document calls on people to avoid dolphin attractions, voice their opinions against captivity, and learn how to help stop this cruelty to dolphins.
Dolphins in Captivity
This document discusses the issue of importing bottlenose dolphins from the wild into captivity at the Marine Life Park in Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore. It outlines arguments from both the pro-public display lobby and anti-captivity lobby on the topics of education, research, and animal welfare related to keeping dolphins in captivity. There is no consensus on whether the import of 18 bottlenose dolphins from the Solomon Islands is acceptable.

"Overfishing: Killer of the Oceans"
1) Overfishing poses a serious threat to the global economy as many nations rely heavily on commercial fishing for food and income. Without limits on catch amounts, fish populations are declining rapidly which will be disastrous financially.
2) It also endangers ocean ecosystems as removing too many fish upsets the natural balance, causing other species' populations to crash from lack of food.
3) Additionally, the vast numbers of fish killed by overfishing raises ethical concerns about the inhumane treatment of ocean life.
Dolphin Captivity
Dolphins living in captivity have significantly shorter lifespans, restricted movement, and poorer health than those in the wild. They often develop problems like blindness, intestinal disease, and ulcers due to stress, poor water quality, and lack of space. Captive dolphins also face limited reproduction due to these stresses. The capture process that removes dolphins from the wild can be traumatic and cause injury, with many dolphins dying during or immediately after capture. Performing for audiences adds further stress.

Captivity of dolphins and whales
- The document discusses the impact of captivity on the life expectancy of dolphins and whales compared to their life expectancy in the wild. While dolphins can live up to 50 years and orca whales up to 80 years in the wild, their life expectancy is much lower in captivity at only 2-8 years.
- Thousands of dolphins and small whales are captured in shallow lagoons for captivity each year, and many die during the capture process or in their first few years in captivity. Over the past 30 years, half of captive marine mammals died before age 7 and 83% died before age 20.
- The document recommends actions the public can take to help dolphins and whales, such
Classification of fish species
This document discusses different types of freshwater and saltwater fish, as well as amphibians, crustaceans, and mollusks. It also lists 11 criteria for selecting suitable fish species for pond environments, such as adaptability, growth rate, efficiency in utilizing natural food sources, resistance to disease, ease of breeding, and market demand.
Overfishing
Overfishing and pollution are severely impacting fish populations, with over half of fish stocks fully exploited and some depleted or collapsed. If overfishing continues, there may be no fish left in the oceans by 2048. Specific species like bluefin tuna have been overfished, with only 6-12% of their original populations remaining. Bycatch, or unwanted marine life caught in nets, accounts for 2-10 pounds of discard for every 1 pound of targeted shrimp and wastes about a quarter of global catches. Different fishing methods have varying environmental impacts, and aquaculture practices also affect local ecosystems.
Humboldt
The Humboldt Squid is an animal that is being overfished in Baja California; they live only one year in deep waters with low oxygen levels, where they prey on lanternfish and shrimp but are preyed upon by sharks, seals, and other large fish; due to overfishing as their range expands, limiting fishing would help protect the declining Humboldt Squid population.

Awareness Presentation 1LAA
Pollution is negatively impacting both human and environmental health globally. An estimated 1,000 children in India die daily from water-borne diseases caused by polluted water. Polluted coastal waters cost the global economy $12.8 billion annually in deaths and sickness. In China alone, 320 million people lack access to clean drinking water. The Ganges River in India is severely polluted with sewage, trash, food waste, and dead bodies. Developing nations often struggle most with pollution due to lack of funds to address these issues. Our actions are impacting future generations by polluting the air, water, and land on which we all depend for survival.
Rusty crayfish powerpoint.pptx kevin
The rusty crayfish is an invasive species that originated in the Ohio River Valley and has since spread to many Midwestern and Eastern states through activities like fishing and being used as pets. It harms native species and ecosystems by outcompeting local crayfish, damaging plants, and reducing populations of other invertebrates and fish. To limit its spread, people should not use rusty crayfish for bait or pets and should properly clean boats and equipment when moving between bodies of water.
Trashy water
People often litter in oceans without considering the impact on marine life. Plastic, bottles, nets and other debris accumulate in oceans and can entangle or be ingested by animals, slowly killing them. The trash also affects climate change. While the ocean provides much of our drinking water, people continue dumping plastic bottles and garbage into it. However, efforts to reduce littering, pick up ocean trash, and properly dispose of waste can help improve water quality over time.
River animals.pptx alarna
This document discusses several river animals including kingfishers, fish, otters, and beavers. Kingfishers are brightly colored birds that hunt fish from riverside perches or while hovering above the water. Otters live both on land near water and in water, though they are often mistaken for beavers. Beavers are known for their engineering skills in felling trees and building dams, making them a keystone species that supports other wildlife.
Ocean Pollution
Ocean pollution, especially from plastic, is a serious problem that harms ocean life. Tens of thousands of animals like fish, seabirds, turtles, seals, and other sea mammals die every year from eating plastic or getting tangled in it. As plastic breaks down in the ocean, it releases toxic chemicals that enter the food chain and can harm humans. Individuals can help reduce plastic pollution by using reusable bags, water bottles, and recycling disposable plastics to help protect ocean animals and the environment.
Overfishing power point
Overfishing is causing major damage to ocean ecosystems. Trawling fishing methods kill many unintended fish and discard them, while also damaging ocean floors. Popular fish like the Chilean Sea bass are being overfished to the point of endangerment. If overfishing continues at the current rate, experts predict we will deplete all fish stocks by 2048. This is unbalancing ocean environments by reducing predator populations and increasing jellyfish and rays, which leads to more algae blooms and the growth of "dead zones" - areas devoid of life. To ensure a sustainable food source for future generations, we need stronger laws against illegal fishing and overfishing to help reverse some of the damage done to oceans.
Overfishing
Fish are a renewable resource if populations are managed sustainably, but overfishing has become a problem recently due to advances in fishing technology allowing much higher catches. Issues arise from large nets catching unintended species and damaging ocean habitats, while methods like dynamite fishing destroy reefs. Conservation efforts are needed like limiting catches, protecting spawning populations, and creating marine reserves to allow fish stocks to recover.
Ocean Pollution Research
The document contains summaries from several student groups on how trash affects marine life and oceans. Group 1 discusses how plastic can be mistaken as food by sea creatures, leading to starvation, and how trash affects ocean plants. Group 2 examines the pollution caused by fishing boats and drains. Group 3 outlines ways to prevent trash from reaching the oceans like reducing waste and organizing beach cleanups. Group 4 defines the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and how plastic gets into the ocean through drains, boats, land, and factories. Group 5 organized a beach cleanup event and provided steps for holding one.
Nov 2015 Sharks
- Sharks range greatly in size from the smallest at 20cm to the largest whale shark at 12-18m. A quarter of shark species are now endangered.
- Sharks can be found in every ocean and some species live in freshwater rivers and lakes. The global shark population is estimated at around 1.5 billion.
- Humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks per year for their fins and meat, though finning which involves cutting the fins and discarding the live shark is especially harmful to shark populations.
Green sea turtle
Green sea turtles are large sea turtles found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world. They have a dorsoventrally flattened body and paddle-like flippers adapted for swimming. Adults typically inhabit shallow lagoons and feed on sea grasses. Throughout their life, green sea turtles inhabit different habitats - they lay eggs on beaches, spend their early years in open ocean waters, and mature in coastal areas with sea grass beds. Major threats include hunting, accidental capture in fishing gear, pollution, habitat destruction, and infectious diseases. Conservation efforts include protecting nesting beaches and reducing accidental turtle captures.
Great Pacific Garbage Patch
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a large area of floating plastic debris and trash located between Hawaii and California. It consists of items like plastic bottles, bags, fishing nets, and other garbage that has accumulated in the ocean. This waste threatens wildlife like birds, sea turtles, and seals that often mistake plastic for food or get entangled in it, causing injury or death. Cleanup efforts are underway but difficult given the size and remote nature of the garbage patch.
2 cage culture
Small scale cage culture involves growing fish in cages placed in ponds or lakes. It has some key advantages over other aquaculture systems like requiring a lower initial investment. A variety of fish species can be grown in cages, including bluegill, yellow perch, trout, bass, carp, tilapia, catfish and bullheads. Proper stocking densities and maintenance of the cages is important to avoid overcrowding and ensure good growth rates of the fish. Harvesting the cages requires care to minimize stress on the fish.

This summary provides the key details from the document in 3 sentences:
The document discusses an excerpt from Rachel Carson's book "Silent Spring" that describes a fictional town where mysterious illnesses start affecting both animals and people, and the environment and wildlife start dying off. No birds are singing, bees aren't pollinating apple trees, fish are disappearing from streams, and a strange white powder is falling from the sky. The story implies that through overuse of pesticides and a disregard for the environment, the town's inhabitants unwittingly poisoned their own ecosystem.
Lake Winnipeg
Lake Winnipeg is a shallow lake located in Manitoba, Canada composed of two basins. It is on average only 12 meters deep and receives 517 mm of precipitation annually. Lake Winnipeg provides habitat for over 50 fish species including yellow perch, chestnut lampreys, and rainbow smelt. Yellow perch prefer temperatures between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius and feed on invertebrates and fish like emerald shiners. Chestnut lampreys are parasitic fish that attach to other fish like yellow perch to feed on their blood and tissues. Recently introduced, rainbow smelt are an invasive species that have decreased the emerald shiner population.
Green Sea Turtle
This document provides information about the green sea turtle, including its classification, habitat, diet, distribution range, reproduction, threats, and conservation status. Some key points:
- Green sea turtles inhabit coastal waters and migrate between nesting beaches, shallow bays with seagrass beds, and other coastal habitats.
- They face major threats like entanglement in fishing gear, poaching, coastal development, and pollution.
- In Pakistan, major nesting sites for green sea turtles include Hawke's Bay and Sandspit beaches. Conservation efforts aim to protect eggs and hatchlings.
Managing IT and Software
The document discusses several terms related to software development and project management including: JAD which refers to a method for developing contract agreements through meetings to define project objectives; requirements documentation; scope creep which is when a project grows beyond its original scope; change control procedures for adding or changing features after implementation; computer instructions that are readable by humans or machines; source code escrow which involves testing deposited source code; electronically stored information such as written records, files, or data relevant to litigation; and data retention policies which outline how data is managed and stored.

Negotiations: Strategies and Suggestions
A negotiator should thoroughly prepare by learning about the opposing side's needs and priorities. During negotiations, one should vary the discussion between more and less important points, leaving critical issues for later. Strategic information should only be shared if useful information is expected in return. Offering to discuss the other side's important issues first builds good faith and provides insight. Linking small issues to larger priorities of the other side can help resolve minor matters without compromising major ones. Effective strategies include preparing well, developing a strategic plan, listening to understand the other side, and speaking minimally. Complex negotiations are best done in person rather than by phone.

Oceans are at risk
Oceans are at risk due to threats like overfishing, pollution, climate change, and plastic debris. These threats endanger many ocean species such as marine turtles, dolphins, seahorses, sharks, monk seals, and whales. Unless action is taken to protect endangered marine species, many may not survive for future generations.
Turtles
Sea turtles have existed for over 110 million years, but today all seven species are threatened or endangered. They play an important role in marine ecosystems by controlling prey populations and maintaining healthy seagrass beds. However, sea turtles face numerous threats such as pollution, overharvesting, climate change, artificial lighting, and illegal trade. To help protect sea turtles, individuals can reduce plastic use, participate in coastal cleanups, refrain from using balloons and fireworks near nesting beaches, and support conservation organizations.
Sea turtles
Sea turtles live in oceans around the world except the polar regions and migrate between oceans. As juveniles, they eat shrimp, squid, jellyfish, and cuttlefish brought by parents, and as adults eat sea grasses and algae. Sea turtles face threats from humans through pollution and fishing nets, as well as sharks, killer whales, and predators when nesting. They live in coastal waters, bays, lagoons, estuaries, and mangroves, but these areas also expose them to threats that endanger their survival, such as a debilitating tumor-like disease called Fibro Papillomas.
Threats to Biodiversity.pptx
We do not see all the varied functions that biodiversity plays in our lives because they are not obvious. We rarely see how they are controlling our environment unless we study nature. Thus we tend to take short-term actions that can have serious impacts on biodiversity leading to even extinction of species by disturbing their habitats. Man has no right to do so. We only share this planet with millions of other species that also have a right to survive on earth. It is morally wrong to allow man’s actions to lead to the extinction of species.
Hidden and Fearful
