Ocean County Essays

Liberty, the county seat of Clay County, is one of the many suburbs surrounding Kansas City. Although Liberty was technically established before Kansas City, the growth of the latter has played a significant part in Liberty's growth. Many residents of Liberty commute to Kansas City to work, attend cultural events or further their education. However, this does not mean that Liberty is a bedroom community; it is a self-sufficient community with a proud heritage and a thriving economy. When the owners

Waterloo and Kitchener are cities in the Ontario, Canada. These two cities are adjacent to each other and sometimes collectively known as “Kitchener-Waterloo” but they have separate city governments. Waterloo economy is based on the knowledge and service share. Economy relies on financial institutions, Manufacturing and technology sector along with universities in the area. The three big think tanks are based in the area, which are ‘institute of theoretical physics’, ‘institute of quantum computing’

Do you want to see a change in this small community of Anamosa? Me, too! I’m a kid, but I do know that mayors are the voice of the people. I want to be that voice. The voice that people want to stand by and say,”I am proud I live In Anamosa!” As mayor, I will work my hardest to make Anamosa welcoming, and listen to what people want. One way to make the community happier, is adding bicycle lanes. Kids ride their bicycles on the sidewalk, because the road isn't safe. Cars speed down streets, which

Local governments face an increasing role in the development and decision making of towns and cities across the globe. City-county consolidation is a local government reform in which a major municipality and county merge to create a unified government. These referenda have proven to be unsuccessful, partly because of how unpopular it is with voters. Proponents of the idea insist on its cost saving benefits. Efforts for consolidation promise a more powerful and unified government, and the end to the

The State of Affairs To begin with, I view the current state of affairs in the town as political exploitation. There are two issues that need to be clearly disconnected, firefighting service delivery and political expediency. From the case presented, the mayor is seeking his fifth term by trying please the electorate. The legislation process needs to be disconnected from personal feuds. The firefighting service is a core requirement in any society. The mayor's office needs to support the department

moderately large county government and the tenuous relationship between the county’s main governing bodies: the elected city council, the county executive, and the sheriff known only as “Ossman”; it should be noted that the sheriff’s office was separate from the police department and did not exercise law enforcement duties. At the time of the case, the county executive and sheriff’s office were known to be the most powerful and stable of the elected positions in the county with the county executive being

Michael Fiore Mrs. Maffetone 10/20/15 English 9 Shamans Street I had lived in Woonsocket Rhode Island all my life. It was a peaceful town and had one of the lowest crime rates in the country. My father moved here after he met my mother Sara because he came from a bad neighborhood. We don’t like to talk about it much, it’s just something we really don’t know how to explain. It’s me, my brother Joe, my mother Rose, and my father Michael. My name is also Michael after my father, its been a family

After the influx of the Spanish in the seventeenth century, much of the native population yielded to illness. How did the ones who survived find success and what did the Spanish do to develop the county? The Natives ended up moving away or intermarried with the Europeans. The Spanish increased the population by giving fifty-nine leagues of ground on the north bank of the Rio Grande (including all of the section of Brownsville) to José Salvador de la Garza in 1781. The Spanish also caused destruction

The good, the bad, and the sandy; a review of Charleston area beaches I don't think I will ever get tired of this view I am definitely an ocean girl. By far, the beach is my happy place. Moving to the Charleston area two years ago, I was excited to explore the many beaches around. I wondered which ones are the most secluded, which ones attract the most tourists, and which ones, if any, to avoid. After careful review, and consulting with some experts (i.e.my kiddos), here is the nifty gritty on our

drowning. Human nature is underhanded. The tides are always changing, new sets are forming, and the undertow is contemporary. Swells come in from the the Gulf of Mexico the surf community is the first to hear about it. Surfers in the Los Angeles County are rushing to get to the beaches so they can get some good sets. There is probably 20-25 surfers per beach, at most 100. The problem with that is, there are too many people in the water which makes it hard to catch waves, and if you happen to catch

effects of this act impairs the the balance in the ecosystem and people in that area that depends on fish as primary food and economic source. There are many reasons why overfishing continue to be a problem one of which are “open access”. The worlds oceans goes on for miles and there are no or hardly any property rights in place for fishermen to leave a certain amount of fish in the water. Poor fishing management is also a reason, there are government regulations set in place but they aren't as strict

I first learned how to swim in the Atlantic Ocean as an infant when I lived with my parents in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Little did I know back then the impact of what became my favorite activity would have on my entire life. When my family left Brazil, we moved to Puerto Rico where my “swimming pools” became the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. I loved the open water and loved swimming! When my family moved back to Albuquerque, I was confused because I didn’t see the beautiful water that

Threw many studies and research it has been proved that the meat industry is at fault for contaminating our oceans and rivers. It is been noted that the meat industry is at fault for the runoff that is dumped into the rivers and the millions of gallons of manure that is dumped into rivers, oceans and lagoons. As well as endangering the well being of sea creatures. According to the article Devil in the deep blue sea by Brian Palmer, the rainfall washes massive amount of fertilizers into the water

Study Area Determining how water quality affects aquatic creatures includes large study areas. The watersheds of both the Chesapeake Bay and the New River are largely inclusive of multiple county boundaries. A larger study area makes it simpler to come by study samples, as fish are plentiful throughout. Protecting the quality of our watersheds is important because watersheds serve many purposes to both living and nonliving organisms. “These water bodies supply our drinking water, water for agriculture

that’s the message found on the bumpers of the turtle patrol roving vehicles parked in the North Shores Improvement Association garage bays. The old firehouse facility on First Street and Meadow Avenue is also the satellite home to the St. Johns County Sheriff deputies who patrol the area. Scott Eastman, director of Eastman Environmental, oversees volunteers monitoring the turtle population’s well-being between April and October every year. Eastman Environmental was founded in 2010 as a nonprofit

It is very clear that Sea Turtle Preservation Society and Keep Brevard Beautiful are struggling to keep up with trash in the county. In 2013, the 914 volunteer hours recorded totaled up to be only $19, 194. (6.3 Beach Cleanup) Along with Keep Brevard Beautiful $450,000 and $583,000 from volunteers, there is only $1,033,000 to clean up 72 miles of beaches in Brevard. (Space Coast Beaches) These organizations have to pay for employees, gas for vehicles, trash bags, sunscreen, and also pay for maintaining

As we progress through the course, a complex yet clearer picture is forming regarding how impacts as a result of changes to environmental systems extend well beyond impacts to the wildlife that inhabit those systems. It has become increasingly apparent that environmental changes influence social and economic dynamics as well. The visibility of environmental issues affecting consumers and wildlife alike is very present when we examine estuaries, also know as bays, sounds, or lagoons. Estuaries are

Catalina Island Catalina Island is a short boat trip from Los Angeles or Orange counties but very far off in ambiance and charm. You can very easily forget you are in California and let your imagination take you to a Mediterranean Island. Visiting the island today, it is hard to believe that it is started as a home for Native American tribes and later as a beef ranch. The development of Catalina into its current status as a tourist destination happened in waves. The person with the biggest influence

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

college town, gently caressed by the rolling mountains surrounding it, lies five miles east of the breathtaking Golden coast. San Luis Obispo is one of the few relaxing coastal cities where tourists can dig their feet into the warm sand, enjoy the ocean breeze and then proceed to lose feeling in each toe from the freezing cold water. It is a town in which the environment is laid back yet the forty-five thousand residents remain active and where the high school teenagers spend less time doing school
