By creating experimental beach scenarios, negative and standard, Karpanty, et al, increased and decreased the amount of surface eggs to compare the availability and sufficiency to refuel Red Knots in the Delaware Bay area. They were able to determine that horseshoe crab eggs were sufficient and that Red Knots were not excluded when aggressive shorebirds also foraged on the experimental beach areas. The feeding times were mainly during the day and until high tide. It was observed that Red Knots foraged in high-density areas and along the wrack line, where horseshoe crab eggs were visible and easily accessible. Once that area was depleted, the Red Knots would move on to other horseshoe crab nesting areas.
In the essay “High Tide in Tucson” by Barbara Kingsolver depicts the main point of the essay as Human Nature and evolution. During the essay Barbara has a hermit crab show up at her home. We see the hermit crab as a metaphor. The hermit crab is characterized as a person or animal, depending on the reader, who got into an unnatural state. Later we see Barbara leave her home to travel to a new state, there she live in a new place where she had to adapt to her new environment.
A planned multi-million-dollar offshore aquarium off of Granite Island is being fast tracked with hopes of reviving the tourism region at Victor Harbor (ABC, 2015). While it is early days in the proposal, there is an air of confidence that the plan will precede if the community accepts the idea (Simmons, 2015). What impact will the proposed underwater observatory have on Victor Harbor? To assist with the research Simone from the Port Lincoln Swim with the Tuna observatory was contacted as well as Oceanic Victor and an interview was held with Ian Milne, the marine biology teacher at Victor Harbor High School. Research was also conducted at Granite Island.
This proves to the reader that while the brothers were struggling in the tide, it was because of Georgia's flat coast blocking the wind and water from the Atlantic Ocean. I can confirm this because in the text "The Last Wave" the author states "The wind is picking up, and the channel is already widening". This proves to the reader that the reason the wind was picking and the channel was widening is because Georgia's flat coast was blocking large amounts of
We spotted about 150 grebes at 8:41am and saw more greebes at 8:45am. The sun tried to come out at 8:50am. Then we finally got out of the fog and started to get our bearings. On our left was Isla Tiburon and on our right was Isla Cholludo. Yesterday Ami had a class on fish identification,
A Voyage Long and Strange Response In A Voyage Long and Strange, Horwitz attempts to rewrite history in a more captivating and personable way, steering away from the dryness of a textbook to better preserve and commemorate the founding of America. Horwitz, with little planning ahead of time, embarks on a journey to learn more about how America came to be what it is today. He indulges in the rich cultures of each place he visits, gaining more perspective on their ways of living and how that was impacted by the discovery of America. His overall goal was to rewrite history in a way that incorporates and finds a balance between both fact and myth.
“Consider the Lobster,” by David Foster Wallace, published in the August 2004 edition of Gourmet Magazine explores the morality of the consumption of lobsters through the analysis of the Maine Lobster Festival. Foster Wallace guides his readers through his exploration of the festival and general circumstances of lobster eating before evoking a sense of obligation to the creature’s well being. His gentle slide into the ‘big picture’ through his causal argument wades readers into the depths of his thoughts through the power of storytelling until they are left with no choice but to engage with their own perception of the act with skepticism. Ultimately, the passage commands readers to reexamine their own consumption of lobsters regardless of

“The squid and the whale” presents the story of life of a nuclear family at war. It is quite an insightful inspection not only of separation of two parents who are at odds with one another, but also its effects on the children. When they setup a schedule for spending time with their children, the two boys are caught up in the emotional upheavals of the split, swinging from parent to parent for a joint custody. The boys soon take sides. The elder one chooses to be with his father while the younger one sides with his mother.
This week we discussed ‘“The Tempest” in the Wilderness: A Tale of Two Frontiers’ by Ronald Takaki. In this article, the author discusses the differences between savagery and civilization. The main argument in this argument is shown in the form of examples of how the Indians and Irish were simply harmless at first when discovering the New World, but quickly made into monsters by the English men. I’m sure we’ve all learned in history of John Smith’s description of how the Powhatans cared for the sick and dying English men.

The crab has usually equal sizes claws. This animals also have different diets. Even though both animals are omnivores. They eat different things.
Throughout the course of human existence, we have always been fascinated by the concept of stories. They enhance our understanding and further illustrate ideas. Our civilization was essentially built upon the backs of 200, 000 years worth of stories. Myths, fables, novels, and even modern movies are a part of this age old practice. Life of Pi (directed by Ang Lee) and Big Fish (directed by Tim Burton) both ponder the effectiveness of stories.
The Moon is tethered to the Earth by gravity, orbiting once every day. For the Moon to take a full cycle, it takes 27.322 days to rotate once on its axis from a New Moon or Dark Moon to, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, Waning Crescent, and back to the New Moon. Our moon gives the ocean currents due to its gravity pulling the oceans into a wavy mess, acting like a magnet to a steel ball behind a sheet of paper, it will pull it and move it, but won’t take it off the ground due to it being to far away. But this pull gives us something called Tides, when it’s high tide, the Moon is either above that area of ocean or on the other side of the world, pulling both sides of the Earth seas (as
Coastal erosion is a very important issue that must be studied due to the fact that it can cause a lot of change in the land and communities of coastal cities or countries, and islands such as England and Ireland, these changes can cause a lot of trouble within a community that is located on the area or even on the land itself. There are four types of coastal erosion but for the moment only the most common one will be discussed, this is Hydraulic Action which is a process that involves the water and waves hitting against the coast which causes the waves to enter cracks and compress the air inside. When the wave retreats back into the sea, the air which was compressed inside the cracks quickly expands causing the coast to slowly wear away, the
