The creations which now face extinction include several different kinds of orchids and ferns, Florida tree snails, and the indigo snake. The intrusion of the Water Conservation Areas though places this pattern in serious jeopardy. The levee system interrupts the drydown as conditions on one side may not match with conditions on the other. Changes in the dry/wet season cycle, affect alligator reproduction, interrupting mating and often drowning their eggs. This can cause extinction with this species as well. Mercury has been found in local fish at such high levels that consumption warnings were posted for fishermen. A Florida panther was found dead with levels of mercury high enough to kill a human. Scientists have found that power plants and incinerators using fossil fuels were expelling mercury into the atmosphere, and it falls as rain or dust during droughts. This is potentially damaging to the…
Browsing history channel, I got to view a documentary about Angel Island. First I had no idea where or what this place was, but I found out that this place has so much history. I felt like we need to know about this place as an Asian American.…
Florida is home to one of the most famous wetlands in the country, the Everglades. The diverse array of plants and animals create a truly remarkable site to behold. Its sheer beauty and awe-inspiring scenery make the Everglades one of the most sought after, and protected wetlands in the country. However, the Florida Everglades has not always received the respect it deserves. In the past, the Everglades has been mistreated in many ways, from being used as a dump site for pets and waste, to being rained of its resources, the Everglades has surly seen its fair share of neglect. Be that as it may, other wetlands around the country aren't being treated as well as they should be either. Thankfully, government organizations have stepped in to stop this mistreatment. After all, wetlands, such as swamps, marshes, and bogs contribute to the well being of us humans. For…
The Chesapeake Bay is murky. It is polluted by chemicals and litter pollution. As the community that lives in the watershed, we must clean up the pollution and to stand up to the pollution and making it stop. The bays water quality has deteriorated and dropped significantly because of the pollution. Special species have disappeared because of all of the pollution. In my opinion, the Bay’s water quality would improve if everyone participated in a water clean-up and prevented future pollution. The bay has been polluted by farms and companies using chemicals put in the watershed. The effect of this is the water quality. It’s at its lowest health review in all of its history. Third, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s mission is to clean and preserve the bay in a healthy form.…
Coastlines have a special place in history and they are disappearing the most rapidly. He talks about how National Parks and Forests need to be handled with care since there are a limited supply left, for the people to view. Early and recent developments like the fishing resort and the separation of National Forest from State forest in Minnesota, have threatened the disintegration of some areas. Tourist roads and public highways move in on federal areas reserved for the beautiful views, and are starting to take over. The author talks about how during war times the shortage of lumber was a gateway for new roads to clear out the trees, but now ski-resorts are built where wilderness use to reside. He also states that Canada and Alaska have wilderness areas that have never been named and should stay like that as long as possible. Wilderness for recreation has annihilated numerous acres of wilderness for games and athletic sports. In the early days wilderness was only used to…
The mountain division fair value estimate was based on a market approach by directly comparing Snowy Ridge to very similar ski areas sold within the last year (mountain divisions only). It was determined that the sales were expressed as a multiple of sales revenue equal to 175%. The average sales revenue generated by Snowy Ridge was $5,500,000. After applying the multiple to $5,500,000 the new computed fair value became $9,625,000. This was level 2 categorization on the valuation hierarchy.…
Hamilton Hometown, ugly then; I got out as fast as I could. Immigrant parents: freedom for my brothers, strict rules for me; Meant to protect but instead, near clipped my fledgling wings.

Throughout this article, Sahoo and Schladow analyze and investigate the impact of climate change in Nevada, California's Lake Tahoe as a case study on effects of climte change on the the physical processes occurring within lakes " (Sahoo & Schladow, 2008). On a previous study during the period 1969-2002, the effect of global warming on Lake Tahoe was investigated and results showed that during that time, the lake became warmer and more stable (Sahoo & Schladow, 2008). In respect to the data that was collected, measures predicted that after 40 years the lake's temperature will remain stable (Sahoo & Schladow, 2008). However, Sahoo and Schlado claim that nowadays climate change plays a major role in changing the predicted data in respect to…
In recent times, it has become increasing clear that economic development and population growth are resulting in expeditious changes in natural ecosystems, globally, and particularly on the self-sufficient ecosystems of Hastings Point. In acknowledgment of this, the United Nations’ Kofi Annan presented a report: “We the Peoples: The Role of the United Nations in the 21st Century.” (2000) Annan called for Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in order to establish the consequences of change in ecosystems for the well-being of humans, and to specify the importance of conservation actions needed to enhance the sustainable use of services supporting various aspects of human life (2000) (Alberti, 2005). Findings from the report and recent studies situated…
