“Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion…to change the world.” As a leading abolitionist, Harriet Tubman spent her life blazing new paths for freedom. She believed everyone has the potential to change the world. I stand determined change the world by pursuing my dream: lessening the devastation of natural disasters on the Gulf Coast. Witnessing the devastation of hurricanes cultivates my desire to devise strategies for hurricane-resistant structures.

The sea level rise also threatens the source of drinking water of Miami Beach, the Everglades and the large freshwater wetland South Florida. Not to mention, that great part of our economy is produced from the tourism. Miami is full of buildings, most of them luxurious, very close to the sea, and the tourism is vital and known worldwide, to the point that climate change could greatly harm tourism in Miami. And, eventually, if they don’t take action over this situation, the tourists will search for another place where to take the sun without wetting their feet when walking down the streets and this will be impacting as well as the residential

Though both sites in this study were unlikely to suffer from sewage or industrial pollution (“fair” coral coverage) as they are located very far from major cities (effect from nearby settlements are not apparent), indicating that overfishing is more likely to strongly affect the marine ecosystem in the area. Thus, it is pivotal to address the issue of overfishing as removal of key fish species will often lead to physical break-down of the entire coral reef ecosystem (McClanahan, 1995; Roberts, 1995; McClanahan et al., 1996). It is therefore suggested awareness program be conducted with local residents to reduce demand of fish that has a higher value and could contribute much more economically to them through tourism. Stricter enforcements by the government agencies should be practiced to prevent illegal

Sediment and nutrient pollution is a huge contributor to the poor water quality in the bay. While some nutrient variation is expected due to normal changes in weather,

Microcystin appears because of human pollution and fertilizers that flow into rivers and lakes which then lead to the ocean. Cancer-causing chemicals called PCBs and pesticides like DDT are in marine mammals ' fatty tissues and they cause serious harm. 2. Many health departments encourage people not to swim 72 hours after it rains because the coastal waters are polluted from urban runoff, leaking sewage from sewage pipes and overflowing sewer manholes. Surfers and divers have a higher risk of getting ill from contaminated water than swimmers or waders in contaminated water.

Keeping the Ocean Free of Debris Pollution in the Persian gulf is negatively impacting marine life How much are we trashing our ocean? CNN, February 12th 2015. Arabian Gulf coral reefs dying a slow death. Gulf news, June 10th, 2014. Spill, Dolphin Deaths Spark Alarm At Persian Gulf Pollution.

Although crossings of pipelines should be avoided if possible it was necessary in this case. Both pipes were laid as perpendicular to the existing pipe and separated by a distance mutually agreed by both pipe owners. All exclusion zones on approach to the BLP were taken into account in order to avoid damage to the pipeline or facility, or injury to

A state that heavily participates in these cleanups is Florida. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection hosts many reef cleanups in various counties and even offer giveaways for participating. The only downfall is that you have to be a certified diver in order to participate in the cleanup. I think that the practice that will have the greatest impact on the problem would be for the human population to focus on making changes that will help decrease global warming affects. If we began to lower the amount of energy we use, the amount of waste we produce, and the amount of pollution we allow to go into the oceans the algae would not be forced to leave the coral due to the conditions of the water.

On the other hand, human activity which threatens the coral reefs at the Caribbean Sea is tourism industry. This is because, tourism has both direct and indirect impact on coral reefs namely snorkeling, diving and boating can cause direct physical damage to coral reefs. Besides that, fishing and collecting corals for souvenir

Some people would suggest, “Oh you can just burn the rubbish off and they will disappear!” And recently, the Hong Kong SAR Government intended to have a new incinerator built in Shek Kwu Chau, Near Cheung Chau. But do you know the drawbacks of building an incinerator? Imagine you were a resident living near the site of it, or the white dolphins in the ocean, surrounded by the toxic air and water every day, what would you feel?

However, it 's not only just because of man-made reasons. The coastal marshes disappearing can also be affected by natural causes. Sediment is being deposited into a river delta increasing the weight, which causes the entire area to sink (p. 11). Depositing may sound like a positive cause, but however if the course of the sediment changes then no new sediment will continue to be deposited. Another natural cause is oceans and hurricanes.

When these sites were discovered, they disproved a theory about ancient people only living on the edge of the wetlands in Soconusco Coastal Plain, Chiapas, Mexico (Voorhies 1995). The idea was that the people that used to inhabit this area were only limited to the coast of Chiapas, Mexico. The edge of the coast was surveyed and that is when the archaeological sites were found, but a future survey of the area that led to an inland search proved to be a great discovery in the archaeological record. Artificial islands were made by river cuts and the sites were discovered by the fluvial process (Voorhies 1995).

Subsidence displays the interconnectedness of various problems in California. The intense drought has forced water restrictions onto farmers who are accustomed to excess water and therefore exploit underground aquifers because California is the only state to not regulate groundwater pumping. This causes subsidence, which lowers the land and wrecks havoc on our infrastructure and the environment. Aquifers suffer permanent capacity reductions, which jeopardizes California 's water supply in the future and will cause more groundwater to be pumped, perpetuating the problem. Subsidence shows the importance for California to properly manage its water supply or else risk great economical and environmental

Jacob M. Taylor, a “late farmer” and director of several companies, conceived the idea of establishing a cemetery in Trenton on the highlands above the Delaware River at the southern edge of the city in 1857. He presented his plan to William M. Force, a merchant; John K. Smith, a retired iron manufacturer; Isaac Stephens, a merchant; David Witherup, a carpenter by trade and an incorporator and superintendent of Mercer Cemetery; and William S. Yard, a blacksmith and railing maker; and they together founded Riverview Cemetery on January 16,

ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY As the birds are singing their sweet melody, the terrain of Arlington National Cemetery is filled with sadness. Although the brilliant rays of the sun are shining through the thick treetops, there is a chill in the air. While watching the mourners, the feeling of their sorrow is all too real. Thousands of headstones in the far distance create a magnificent maze against the horizon.
