The challenges that sea turtles now face from human activities impact every stage of their life cycle, from loss of nesting beach and foraging habitats to mortalities on the high seas through intense pelagic fishing practices. They are also harmed by the increasing loads of nonbiodegradable waste ...
What are the cumulative impacts on marine predators in the CCS? Are current management measures, particularly the National Marine Sanctuary system, encompassing key areas for marine predators? And where are spatial mitigation efforts likely to have the greatest effects? We find some of the highest ...
All marine pollution has the potential to seriously damage marine habitats and life in the sea. Scientists are concerned that marine pollution places extra stress on organisms that are already threatened or endangered.1. Which of the following factors affects the oceans according to the passage? A...
Marine life (海洋生物) in Florida Keys is negatively influenced by two forces:human activity and climate change.The former involves fishing,tourism and diving while the latter causes a large increase in intense hurricanes.Fortunately,when the researchers of Florida Museum of Natural History started lo...
Marine mammal welfare addresses the welfare effects of marine debris, of human traffic in the oceans, of noise, of hunting, of whale watching and tourism, and of some of the less obvious impacts on marine mammals – on their social structures, on their behaviours and migration, and also of...
estimated impact of humans on marine ecosys- tems (within the last decade), as past impacts and future scenarios of human impacts are less tractable, though also important (17). Predicted cumulative impact scores (I C ) were calculated for each 1 km 2 ...
“I was in Oyster, Virginia to document the world’s largest seagrass restoration project being conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and The Nature Conservancy. While I was studying the area on Google maps I noticed these amazing patters in a nearby salt marsh and knew it wou...

Ocean pollution has serious impacts on marine life, causing damage to delicate balances of life in oceans and seas. The effect will thus be devastating on marine ecosystems. These pollutants hurt marine life, ruin habitats, disrupt food chains, and consist of plastics, chemicals, metals, and oil...
