Ocean ecosystem summative
The document discusses the ocean ecosystem at Kenjeran Beach in Surabaya, Indonesia. It describes the biotic and abiotic components of the ocean and how living and non-living things interact and depend on each other. For example, fish camouflage themselves among coral reefs for protection. However, the ocean is facing problems of pollution from trash and illegal fishing reducing populations. Actions are suggested to address these issues, such as reducing plastic use, recycling, and not overfishing. The focus problem discussed is people throwing trash in the ocean, making it dirty.
2012-01-27--IGaCoS and Challenges to Sustainable Urbanization-AAA
Cleto Bravo Gales Jr., the City Administrator of Island Garden City of Samal, presented on building sustainable competitive local government units. The presentation discussed Samal's history and challenges with amalgamation from three municipalities into a city. It outlined threats to Davao Gulf from issues like illegal fishing, conflicts over coastal land, and unmanaged waste from the 23 surrounding local governments. The presentation aimed to lay the groundwork for Samal's sustainable development goals through coastal resource management, green productivity programs, and integrated urban water management.
Taking action against pollutions fall 16
The members of the group cleaned up natural areas in their community to ensure that the people and wildlife in that area do not suffer from the effects of human wastes. Each member of the group contributed 12 hours cleaning up trash in three natural areas. The group members hoped to decrease pollution levels by removing litter from the community.
Beachsavers - A Clinton Global Initiative Commitment
The document outlines a proposal to establish a sustainable beach cleaning and maintenance program in Hong Kong. It describes the current situation where Hong Kong beaches receive tons of rubbish daily but lack a coordinated cleaning system. The proposal suggests designating a single government entity to oversee beach maintenance, cleanliness, management, safety, amenities, and signage. This would help address current issues around rubbish collection, equipment, and responsibility across multiple departments. The commitment was presented at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2008 with the goal of keeping Hong Kong beaches clean for current and future generations.

Chapter 1 coasts part 4
Coastal areas provide valuable ecosystem services. Coasts support activities like fisheries, tourism, and transportation. Coral reefs and mangroves stabilize shorelines and protect against flooding. However, human activities like coastal development, pollution, and climate change threaten these ecosystems. Countries gain profit from coasts through tourism, ports, and natural resources. Coastal conservation and sustainable use can help protect valuable coastlines.
Our beaches
Northland's coastline extends over 3,200 kilometers from Kaipara Harbour in the south to Cape Reinga in the north. Each of Northland's beaches has unique characteristics that are shaped by geological processes like erosion, as well as factors like weather, ocean currents and swells, surrounding landforms, freshwater inputs, and human activities. Coastal ecosystems are home to many plants and animals, some of which are rare or endangered. Multiple organizations work together under the CoastCare partnership to protect and restore Northland's beaches.

Management Problems & Recommendations in St. Martin's Island, BangladeshChittagong Veterinary & Animal Sciences University
- Saint Martin's Island is the only coral island in Bangladesh, located about 35 km from Teknaf in the northeastern Bay of Bengal.
- The document identifies several problems on the island like illegal fishing practices damaging coral reefs, lack of waste management, and unregulated tourism.
- Recommendations include establishing protected areas, alternative livelihoods for locals, research on marine resources, and sustainable tourism management.Case study-pamilacan-island
1. Pamilacan Island in Bohol, Philippines faces environmental issues from unsustainable fishing practices and lack of freshwater resources. It relies on marine tourism but must balance conservation and community needs.
2. The island has historically hunted whale sharks and dolphins but now protects these species and bans harmful fishing. It established a marine sanctuary and bans whaling.
3. Solutions proposed include supporting conservation groups like Greenpeace, harvesting rainwater, achieving sustainable tourism through traditional and affordable practices, and educating the community on environmental protection.
Ocean Sole 2018 Catalog
Ocean Sole is a social enterprise in Kenya that collects discarded flip-flops, which are a major source of plastic pollution, and upcycles them into artworks to bring awareness to the problem. They collect over 47,000kg of flip-flops annually in Kenya alone. The company employs local artisans who carve the flip-flops into sculptures of animals and objects. Their catalog showcases these artworks available for sale, including wall hangings, furniture pieces, and large-scale commissions. Proceeds support the company's mission to reduce plastic waste in oceans and waterways.
Antarctica Be Developed
This document discusses differing viewpoints on whether Antarctica should be developed from various interest groups. Fishermen argue development is acceptable for fishing and krill harvesting to address food shortages. Miners believe Antarctica's coal, oil, and metals reserves could fuel global development needs. However, researchers value Antarctica for environmental monitoring and data collection. Conservationists and environmental groups strongly oppose development due to the pristine environment's value and past harms from human activity like waste dumping and oil spills. Overall, opinions differ on whether Antarctica's resources should be utilized or if it should remain protected from economic exploitation and tourism impacts.

Our dunes
Northland's coastal sand dunes are formed by the interaction of wind and waves over time. They range from the vast, windswept dunes of places like Poutō Peninsula to smaller dunes along beaches like Mangawhai Heads. Native plants play a crucial role in building and stabilizing dunes, while the dune ecosystems provide habitat for birds, insects, reptiles, and other wildlife. However, human activities like vehicles, stock, and introduced pest plants threaten dune habitats. Organizations like CoastCare and the regional council work to protect and restore Northland's dunes through community planting days, weed control, and education.
How can surfers contribute to saving the seas?
The harmful effects of climate
change are becoming more evident each day.
The oceans absorb a huge percentage of greenhouse gases and other waste. Ocean acidification, pollution, and garbage are harming marine life, destroying habitats, and making several species vulnerable. Here are some ways surfers can contribute to saving the seas:

Why The Ocean Matters
Dear friends and colleagues,
With pride, I welcome you to Matters Academy’s booklet, "Why The Ocean Matters".
Hong Kong and our surrounding seas have provided us with a livelihood for generations. We have achieved international importance because of our relationship with the ocean. Our Fragrant Harbour and our bond to the Greater Bay Area are home to more than 30 million people and play an ever-expanding role in global development.
We rely on the oceans for food, transportation, and recreation. And yet, our oceans are under substantial threat. How can we not put our concern on the ocean and our future?
World Ocean Day is upcoming on 8 June. We take this opportunity to commemorate World Ocean Day by this booklet sharing the work of ten leading individuals and their organizations affecting ocean change in Southeast Asia.
We celebrate and dive into the work of Ocean Warriors, Thailand Manta Project, saving corals in the Philippines, OceansAsia, the Shark Foundation, Conservation of Green Sea Turtles, Bloom Association in HK, and CITES Enforcement.
We also provide the latest insights on underwater ecology: how do fish feel? What do they know? the benefits of the ocean ecosystem, fish stock depletion, and coral reef ecology.
Lastly, let's work toward the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal 14, Life Below Water, to embark on our journey echoing "Why The Ocean Matters".
Welcome.
Q&A with Dr Diego Amorocho
Marine biologist Dr. Diego Amorocho has been active in marine conservation and sea turtle research since 1986. He is concerned about declining sea turtle populations worldwide due to threats like habitat loss, poaching, pollution, and climate change. Dr. Amorocho's upcoming mission to Cocos Island aims to study sea turtle migrations in the Eastern Tropical Pacific using satellite tags on green sea turtles. The goal is to better understand these species' movements and create regional coordination for their conservation management.
Sas factfile
Surfers Against Sewage is an environmental charity founded in 1990 by surfers in Cornwall to improve water quality and protect the UK's oceans. They educate communities about conservation, organize beach cleanups that have removed over half a tonne of litter, and advocate for policies to address issues like water pollution, plastic waste, and threats to surfing areas. Some of their successes include educating over 1,000 students about ocean conservation and engaging companies like Haribo to improve packaging and reduce litter. They continue working to enhance ocean protections and gain recognition for surfing as part of UK heritage and culture.

Ghost fishing problem ppt
‘Ghost Fishing’ is what fishing gear does when it has been lost, dumped or abandoned. Nets, long lines, fish traps or any man made contraptions designed to catch fish or marine organisms are considered capable of ghost fishing when unattended, and without anyone profiting from the catches, they are affecting already depleted commercial fish stocks

This volunteer project involves helping with whale shark research and conservation efforts in the Maldives. Volunteers will spend their time monitoring and collecting data on whale sharks from boats, as well as engaging with the local community on conservation initiatives. Typical duties include spotting whale sharks from boats, collecting identification photos and measurements while swimming with the sharks, and inputting the collected data into a database. Volunteers are housed in guesthouses on Dhigurah Island and receive three meals per day. The project aims to gather long-term data on the population and health of whale sharks in the area through volunteers' efforts.
Marine Polution
Marine pollution threatens ocean ecosystems and human uses of the ocean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Marine Debris Program aims to investigate, solve problems, and protect marine environments from debris. Major sources of marine pollution include debris from the 2011 Japan tsunami and polluted urban runoff. Solutions involve cleanups, education, improved waste management, and recycling programs like Fishing for Energy that convert discarded fishing nets into energy. Preventing marine pollution benefits ocean life, coastal communities, and continues human enjoyment of ocean resources.
Our coastal threats
Northland's 3200km coastline is a treasured natural resource home to unique plants and animals. It faces threats from introduced pests, inappropriate development, pollution, and erosion. The Northland Regional Council works to manage these threats through plans and policies, and supports groups like CoastCare who control pests and educate communities. Small actions by many can help protect Northland's coasts.
Destructive and prohibited fishing practices
This document discusses various destructive fishing practices and their environmental impacts. It begins by noting that overfishing is depleting fish populations around the world and illegal fishing threatens food security. Bottom trawling is described as particularly destructive, homogenizing seabed habitats and eliminating structure-forming species. Bycatch is a major issue associated with bottom trawling and shrimp trawling. The document also discusses other gear types like dredges, traps, and pelagic trawls, and notes that regulatory measures and certification programs aim to reduce their environmental impacts.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Cleaning Goa's Beaches & Islands in India
- 1. Cleaning up the mess! A plan to keep Goa’s lesser known beaches & Islands clean
- 2. Goa’s 104 Kms of Coastline & Islands are fragile and need protection
- 3. Affected Islands & Beaches in Goa Islands • St. George Island • Grande Island • Pequeno (Bat) Island • Conco Island Beaches (sometimes sold as island trips) • Monkey Beach • Sada Beach (Near Japanese Garden) • Nunem Beach (Near Cananguinim) • Kakolem Beach (North of Khola) • Khola North Beach • Khola South Beach • Honeymoon Beach (South of Agonda) • Butterfly Beach (North of Palolem) • Unnamed Beach with sea caves • Loliem Beach
- 4. • Boats Depart from Sinquerim, Nerul, Miramar, Baina, Colva & Palolem. • Excess boat population leads to overcrowding of sites. • Estimated 500 tourist boats operate in Goa daily.
- 5. • Tourist pressure and low profit margins keep competition high. • Multiple agencies make enforcement & policing tough. (Captain of Ports, River Navigation, Goa Tourism, Goa Coastal Police, Coast Guard, Navy) • Environment gets the last priority
- 6. Monkey Beach: Some beaches are small by beautiful
- 7. St. George’s Island: Islands are also desolate & beautiful
- 8. Grande Island: Islands are also desolate & beautiful
- 9. St. George’s Island: Islands are also desolate & beautiful
- 10. We found that Tuborg was the most common glass bottle found…. Beauty marred by careless visitors…. … probably because it has no refund and has a easy pop top cap.
- 11. Debris floating from the sea, and nearby beach shacks often gets stuck in the rocks
- 12. Tides wash in marine debris, but picnickers also leave behind burn piles and garbage.
- 13. Beach cleanup’s are necessary, but not the only solution.
- 14. Volunteers and trained staff undertake a cleanup. This can take half a day in the direct sun. Island’s are reached by a chartered boat, while most beaches have a walking trail to it.
- 15. Circles drawn in the sand help segregate collected waste at source.
- 16. Trash piles are identified, the larger ones first…
- 17. Trash is often stuck in the rocks, buried over time , burnt or simply piled up in a heap.
- 18. Volunteers clean up, sort, segregate and bag all the collected waste. It’s not an easy job.
- 19. A volunteer counts the number of diapers and sanitary pads found.
- 20. All trash is sorted, counted and bagged, before the tide comes in.
- 21. These bags are then tied, and weighed for record keeping.
- 22. After a group picture, volunteers carry away the waste out. It takes a number of trips in the hot sun until the last bag is picked out. Picked waste is sent to a recycling unit to ensure it’s safe disposal.
- 23. Item Category 6th May – St. George’s Island 17th May – Monkey Beach 18th May – Grande Island Total Waste Cleared Plastic Packaging 600 Nos 1300 Nos 900 Nos. Rubber 75 Nos 100 Nos 50 Nos Metal & Glass 165 Nos 500 Nos 1000 Nos Paper & Cardboard 100 Nos 100 Nos 200 Nos Hard Plastic 100 Nos 50 Nos 200 Nos PET Bottles 120 Nos 200 Nos 400 Nos Sanitary Waste 20 Nos 71 Nos 40 Nos Total Waste in Kgs 501 kg 1250 kg 1420 kg 3171 kg Just 3 beach cleanups in 2018 removed 3.17 tonnes of waste !
- 24. Possible quick solutions to the problem… • Existing beach cleaning contractor's scope of work should cover all beaches and islands in Goa. • Local citizens & boat operators must take back waste at picnic sites. • Boat Operators need to install bins in every boat. • Existing ‘alcohol on boats’ ban must be enforced. • Jurisdiction & policing of islands must be assigned to a single party.
- 25. Possible long term solutions to the problem… • All boat jetties should have a waste Swatchata Kendra. • Drop off points should incentivize boat operators to bring back waste. • Glass bottles need to be banned on beaches. • Single use plastics should be phased out within a timeframe. • Product manufacturers must provide CSR & EPR funding to clean up and Swatchata Kendras.
- 26. Thank you. We hope you will act on this with priority. This presentation was made possible thanks to a number of local as well as visitor volunteers.
