Introduction For two days, on the 14th and 15th of April, a field excursion to Hastings Point, New South Wales was conducted. At Hastings Point, topography, abiotic factors and organism distribution were measured and recorded, with the aim of drawing links between the abiotic factors of two ecosystems (rocky shore and sand dunes), the organisms which live in them, and the adaptations they have developed to cope with these conditions. Within these two ecosystems, multiple zones were identified and recorded, and this report also aims to identify the factors and organisms associated with each zone. Lastly, using data and observations from the past, predictions for the future of the rock pool ecosystem were made.
1.0 Introduction 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this report is to investigate the impacts of urban development on biodiversity at stumers creek dog beach. This report will include data collected from the creek including; water samples, soil samples and animal and excrement surveys in order to determine the health of the environment. 1.2 Location Stumers Creek is located in Coolum Beach, on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. The sub catchment of Stumers Creek covers an area of 13km2.
Fossils are especially noticeable near the Turkey Path, in Leonard Harrison State Park and in the creek itself. The highway bridge along RT. 6 is pretty in all seasons. We pass under it.
Where The Red Fern Grows: Novel vs Movie Essay Author, Wilson Rawls, wrote one of the most touching stories about a boy & his dogs in 1961 called “Where the Red Fern Grows”.

Zoe In 1961, Wilson Rawls published a novel titled "Where the Red Fern Grows" during his early adult years. He wrote this novel based on his childhood when he lived in the Ozarks. Thirteen years later, a film based on the novel was released and directed by an American director named Norman Tokar. "Where the Red Fern Grows" is about a boy named Billy who lived in the Ozarks of Oklahoma and desired to have his own hunting dogs.
Same for hiking, biking and fitness trails? Check. Think Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway-rimmed neighborhoods, thick oak canopies and a throwback Old Florida feel. But, it’s what lies outside Palm Coast that makes it live even larger.
The water surrounding cape cod has many shoals and banks popular for fishing. Banks and shoals are described as large sand bars shallowly submerged in ocean waters. A bank is a larger shoal. A great number of banks and shoals spread all the way from Newfoundland
The Apalachicola River plays an integral role in the ecology of Apalachicola Bay. This estuary serves as the interface between the freshwater uplands and the Gulf of Mexico. Apalachicola Bay is an exceptionally important nursery area for fish and shellfish in the Gulf of Mexico and a major foraging area
In addition to these, numerous insects and invertebrate fauna like mollusks, crustaceans, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes, are found here. Notable amphibians like the southern leopard frog and the American green tree frog have also been recorded in the Everglades.” (Diptarka Ghosh, May 2021) (n.p.). Key West despite having a small amount of similar animals, houses some species that are only found within The Keys. Some of these animals include, Lower Keys Marsh Rabbit, Silver Rice Rat, Florida Keys Mole Skink, Lower Keys Striped Mud Turtle, Stock Island Tree
I also found a lot of them burrowed in the ground. The Tower Rock is a big land mark for me. It was found between the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. It was a tall steep rock that was very hard to miss.
Southwest Florida is the coastal region in the Florida state. It contains many metropolitan areas and is quite populated when compared with other parts of the country. The whole area is governed by the exposure to the coast and all the life elements therefore depend on this huge water body. The pests that are found in the area are also much related to the presence of water bodies and some pests near beaches can truly present a hazard to home owners who like to live close to the coast.
The Louisiana coast has wetlands and estuaries and several ecosystem services for habitat for breeding, spawning, feeding and nursery for many species of fish. The same marshes for the winter habitat
Boating and snorkeling. Among the Florida Keys lives many different types of species. For instance jellyfish like the Cassiopeas, Cannonball jellies, Sea thimble, moon jelly, comb jelly and the man o’ war which is also known as the bluebottle jellyfish. All of these jellyfish are either really common in the keys or come wandering in in curtain months of the year.
In his liturgical work On War, Clausewitz states that “war is a mere continuation of politics with the addition of other mean” (18). Nothing could better characterize the political map of Europe in the early years of the 20th century leading up to The Great War. The political environment of pre-WWI Europe was filled with treaties and alliances created to prevent war and an emphasis of offensive realism and balanced multipolarity. If the great powers of Europe had focused more on liberalism and not practiced persuasive rhetoric then the conflicts that dominated the years of 1914 through 1918 may have been prevented. Leading up to the start of the war, Europe was divided into two main parties: the Allies, which was constructed of the Franco-Russian
