A ship ran aground near a small coastal village, spilling petrol into the sea. The petrol spread and contaminated the water, killing sea life and preventing the village's fishermen from working. Most of the men and young people left the village to find jobs elsewhere, leaving mainly women and children. The village became nearly empty and ghostly at night with just a few lights on. After years of cleanup efforts, some villagers returned and fishing resumed as the village returned to normal, but with a lingering fear the incident could happen again.
WWP4 Final Draft
Two 10-year-old best friends, Sage from New Zealand and Kyrie from the US and Canada, went on a vacation to the Bahamas. While flying there, they spotted a strange light in the ocean. When they arrived at Kyrie's private island, they discovered they could breathe underwater and found an underwater resort at the location of the light. They stayed there after a boat trip with a local driver, Sam, was cut short by a storm. Their boat capsized and Sam went missing, though they later found him safe on shore. Sage and Kyrie had an adventure they would never forget.
Ocean dumpin(original)
Ocean dumping involves disposing of various materials directly into ocean waters, including garbage, construction debris, sewage sludge, dredged materials, chemicals, and nuclear waste. Some hazardous and nuclear wastes are also disposed of illegally but pose serious dangers to aquatic and human life. The document discusses incidents where nuclear and toxic waste dumping in Somalia in the 1990s and off the coast of Japan in 2011 contaminated the marine environment and local populations with radiation and other pollutants. International laws now largely ban ocean dumping due to its harmful environmental and health impacts.
Potential Global Warming and Sea Level Rise; Impact of Climate Change on Ene...
This presentation discusses the Potential Global Warming and Sea Level Rise; Impact of Climate Change on Energy Use, Water and Water Quality and Availability
Oceans and the rising of sea levels
Sea levels are rising due to global warming caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels. The document discusses how sea level rise is accelerating, with levels projected to rise 40cm by 2100. This will increase flooding risks and damage coastal habitats and infrastructure. Countries like Bangladesh and the Philippines are especially vulnerable, as rising seas exacerbate existing flood and typhoon issues. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to slow climate change is presented as the best approach to mitigating further sea level rise impacts.
Sea Level Rise
This document summarizes the key causes and effects of sea level rise. The three main causes are thermal expansion of oceans, melting of glaciers and ice caps, and melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Some of the major effects are coastal flooding, increased storm surge damage, coastal erosion, habitat destruction, and challenges for coastal adaptation. Observations show that sea level rose by about 3 mm/yr over the last century, and the rate has increased to about 4-6 mm/yr recently. Predictions estimate 0.05-1m of additional sea level rise by 2100 depending on future greenhouse gas emissions and ice sheet dynamics.
Pollutions and Solutions
This document discusses how human activities negatively impact air quality, climate change, forests, and biodiversity, which affects human health. It outlines how increased air pollution from automobiles, factories, and power plants can cause respiratory issues. Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation, is linked to various health problems. Deforestation reduces environmental services like carbon absorption and increases flooding risks. Potential solutions proposed include reducing pollution, transitioning to renewable energy, and establishing more nature reserves to help mitigate these issues.
MARINE POLLUTION pollution presentation
The document discusses various types of marine pollution including plastic debris, oil pollution, eutrophication, acidification, thermal pollution, radioactive pollution, and underwater noise pollution. It outlines the sources, impacts and solutions for each type of pollution. The sources discussed include land-based sources like agricultural and municipal runoff, ocean dumping, oil spills, and deep sea mining. The impacts covered are effects on marine life, human health, marine activities, and water quality. Solutions proposed are prevention through regulations, cleanup methods like bioremediation, skimming, burning, and reducing plastic and radioactive waste through various recycling and disposal methods.
Oil Pollution
The document discusses sources and consequences of oil pollution. It describes various sources of oil pollution including natural seeps, sea-based sources like oil spills from tankers and pipelines, and land-based sources such as urban and industrial runoff. Sea-based sources are divided into accidental discharges from incidents and operational discharges from regular shipping activities. Land-based sources also include oil in untreated sewage and stormwater. The consequences of oil spills are extensive damage to wildlife from ingestion and coating of feathers/fur, as well as long-term pollution of sediments that can impact burrowing animals for decades. Cleanup and recovery of oil spills is challenging and dependent on various environmental factors.
