After reviewing the information that has been provided about the Tennessee Valley Authority vs. Hill court case along with additional findings about the primary purpose for the construction of the Tellico Dam, it has made the questions that are ask in this week’s post much easier to answer. Although, there are some key factors that must be taken into consideration before we choose either side. These factors included that the TVA project was approved to start construction in 1967, David Etnier discovered the snail darter in 1973, this small fish was declared an endangered species in 1975, the Tellico community expected the dam project to generate power, and benefit their economic resources. Also, we have to think about the fact that the snail darter was downgraded in 1980 to a threatened species simply because it was found in other areas of the Tennessee
Study of Hawaiian Fish by Hubert Vos was created in 1898. It is an oil on canvas, seventeenth century style Dutch still-life painting that depicts a elderly Hawaiian fisherman emptying a lauhala basket filled with bountiful catch of fifty-seven varieties of fish native to Hawaiian waters, carefully rendered from sketches of fish commonly displayed in the Honolulu Fish market, on a marble slab.1 I propose that this is work is a piece of art Hawaiian art because it portrays the ancient Hawaiian art of fishing, displays staple native fish that were important to the diet of ancient Hawaiians along with the ancient art of lauhala basket weaving . The reason why I chose this specific piece of art to write about is because it caught
The San Joaquin had a restoration plan with a debatable question, would the outcome benefit California or not? It was unknown if the river would support salmon or how it would affect the economy. Then in 2009, McEwen answered that question within his article with pessimistic expectations and concerns. With this in mind, McEwen’s article is juxtaposed with articles of 2015 on the San Joaquin River and area.
There are around 2,500 dams in Michigan. Dams can be used for suppressing floods and hydropower plant (image below is a dam). Hydropower plants use energy from fast moving water to produce electricity. These are a few ways that humans have shaped
Chapter 1: 1: The author and his colleagues chose to focus on 375 million year old rocks because they were looking for a missing link. They had found fish without amphibious qualities in rocks 10 million years older than their focus age, and 10 million years later the focus age they had found amphibians that looked different than fish. Thus sending them on the search for a missing link. The type of rock these fossils where found in were sedimentary because sedimentary allows the fossil to be preserved inside of it. The igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed from lava and extreme heat/pressure (igneous formed by lava and metamorphic formed by intense heat and pressure).
They have no natural predators in Alberta and will out-compete native species for resources (http://esrd.alberta.ca/recreation-public-use/invasive-species/fish.aspx).” Goldfish are a specific type of carp that was bred to be the bright orange color that it is 1000s of years ago in China to be used as display for their bright colors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_carp). Although they are related to carp species that are non-invasive, these goldfish being released threatens the stabilization of the many Canadian rivers and lakes. If the authorities aren’t able to stop the flourishing invasion of the friendly orange goldfish, they could be looking at a depletion of resources vast enough to cause harm t o the native animal and plant
For example, “on the Columbia river, which 100 years ago boasted the largest runs of Chinook, Coho and steelhead on the face of the globe, these same fish have declined to the point of receiving serious consideration for the federal government’s threatened or endangered species list.” The deterioration of the wild salmon, according to Brown, is from logging, overfishing, hatcheries, and dams, basically all human related activities. Logging and clear-cutting damages all habitats and “literally flattens many creatures chances for life.” For the salmon it causes blockades that disrupts the fishes migrating patterns, or ruins their spawning grounds all together simply from trees being dragged across the stream beds.
As demonstrated in some of the finest environmental literature of the 20th century, such as Norman Maclean’s A River Runs Through It, nature is powerful and continues on despite human corruption and destruction, and no matter how hard humans try to dominate nature, they rarely escape their own

In the 1890s, water simply stopped coming down the Gila River.” (Page 4 Bad Sugar) In other words, the river was part of their lives and anything that occurred to the river affected them. The water is vital for life, so it is understandable what it means the river for them. It is hard for the community to live without water because this is the only way they can have healthy food, and better conservation.

These reservoirs are created by building levees around forests and then flooding them, making acorns and other seeds available to waterfowl (Batema and Frederickson 2006). Leaf litter provides a substrate for invertebrates, a major food source for wintering waterfowl (Baldassarre and Bolen 2006). Early in the development of GTRs, managers believed it necessary to flood them early in the fall and hold water on them until early spring. Flooding the trees during the dormant season and withdrawing that water before they come out of dormancy does not kill the trees, but allows them to survive while providing adequate habitat for wintering waterfowl (Batem and Fredrickson). Within the first 10 years of GTR management, researchers observed benefits of the flooding regime.
