a flat platform of rock pockmarked with numerous rock pools; indents in the rocks which are filled with water and contain numerous forms of marine life. These pools can vary in size‚ from small cracks in the rock which have a changing water level or huge crevices which almost always have a level of water in them. Each rock pool has different species of marine life‚ in varying numbers. The platform lies at the base of a cliff‚ and is usually sheltered from the constant barrage of waves‚ except occasionally

MARINE POLLUTION Between 1976 and 1996 a total of 4647 incidents resulted in the spill of approximately 2‚369‚470 barrels of oil into the environment. In addition‚ between 1997 and 2001‚ Nigeria also recorded a total number of 2‚097 oil spill incidents. Nigeria’s largest spill was an offshore well-blow out in January 1980 when an estimated 200‚000 barrels of oil (8.4million US gallons) spilled into the Atlantic Ocean from an oil industry facility and that damaged 340 hectares of mangrove (Nwilo

Phytoplankton From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Diatoms are one of the most common types of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are the autotrophic component of the plankton community. The name comes from the Greek words φυτόν (phyton)‚ meaning "plant"‚ and πλαγκτός (planktos)‚ meaning "wanderer" or "drifter".[1] Most phytoplankton are too small to be individually seen with the unaided eye. However‚ when present in high enough numbers‚ they may appear as a green discoloration

A Marine Biologist Marine biology is an ideal profession for me because of my love for the ocean and my passion for sharks. A marine biologist studies all types of sea life and can specialize in studying large ocean animals. Since the release of the 1975 movie “Jaws;” I was captivated by this majestic species. I have always felt a kindred spirit with sharks and want to be part of a solution to change the general population’s perception of sharks. A marine biology education provides me with the

is an administrative classification‚ associated with a member ’s pay. "Rank" is a title and denotes the member ’s level of authority and responsibility. An E-1 is the lowest enlisted pay grade. That person ’s "rank" is a "Private" in the Army and Marine Corps‚ an "Airman Basic" in the Air Force‚ and a "Seaman Recruit" in the Navy and Coast Guard. I should also probably note here that in the Navy and Coast Guard‚ the term "rank" is not used among enlisted Sailors. The proper term is "rate." Through

Marine biology is more than the scientific study of marine life. Marine biology is the study of marine organisms‚ their behaviors‚ and interactions with the environment. Marine biologists study oceanography and the associated fields of chemical‚ physical‚ and geological oceanography. Marine biologists are also able to specialize in large aquatic animals‚ all the way down to microscopic and minuscule organisms. Anything else in between‚ marine biologists are able to study. Marine biology is known

Marine engineering broadly refers to the engineering of boats‚ ships‚ oil rigs and any other marine vessel or structure. Specifically‚ marine engineering is the discipline of applying engineering sciences‚ mostly mechanical and electrical engineering‚ to the development‚ design‚ operation and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and on-board systems; e.g. power and propulsion plants‚ machinery‚ piping‚ automation and control systems etc. for marine vehicles of any kind like surface ships‚ submarines

The reason is I want to be part of a force that could stand up to any enemy and fight for the country that I live in and the people in it. The journey to become an officer in the Marine Corps will not be easy and starts right now. To get to the Military Occupational Specialty of an Infantry Officer or Aircraft Maintenance Officer ‚ one

[pic] Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine or brackish bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla‚ families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land‚ marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy. Marine biology differs from marine ecology as marine ecology is focused on how organisms interact with each other and the environment‚ and biology is the study of the organisms
