    Extractions: CORAL REEFS Oceans Unknown The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has named coral reefs as one of the life-support systems essential for our own survival. Found around coastlines in the tropics, coral reefs provide homes for about a third of all fish species on Earth and numerous other marine organisms. Reefs are physically as well as biologically important; they play a fundamental role in protecting coastlines from erosion and contribute to the formation of white sandy beaches. These complex, fragile ecosystems are deteriorating at an alarming rate worldwide. Coral reefs actually are communities of hundreds of thousands of tiny animals called coral polyps, which grow in sunlit shallows of warm, clear marine waters. The reefs are built up as new corals attach atop the skeletons of dead animals. Pollution, Overexploitation and Recreation

    Extractions: LEATHERBACK SEA TURTLE Global Oceans Unknown Once a male leatherback sea turtle struggles from its egg and makes its way to the sea as a 4-inch (10 cm) hatchling, it may never again return to land during its 80-year lifetime. Although they are air-breathing animals born on land, leatherbacks, like all sea turtles, spend their lives in the ocean. Females return to land only to lay their eggs. The leatherback is the largest sea turtle. It can grow up to 6.5 feet (2 m) long and weigh 1,400 pounds (636 kg). The leatherback gets its name from its shell, which is like a thick leathery skin, with the texture of hard rubber. It is a circumglobal species, meaning that it can range throughout almost all the oceans of the world. It nests on tropical beaches in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. Once abundant throughout the world's oceans, all eight species of sea turtles are now threatened or endangered. Leatherback populations have plummeted in recent years. In the 1980s the worldwide population was estimated at nearly 100,000. Breeding

We strongly suggest visiting the Daily News An X-ray shows how debris tossed into the Gulf can lodge in sea turtles and other species that are finding it more difficult to locate nature's food. Researchers say rubbish is increasingly causing injuries and death to marine life, including endangered species like sea turtles. More then 50 sea turtles a year end up in the Turtle Hospital in Marathon. Cameron Gillie/Staff Widget was like a piñata when she first came to the Turtle Hospital in the Florida Keys. But instead of pieces of candy, the loggerhead sea turtle was filled with garbage. Inside her were three shredded balloons —red, green and black. One plastic glove — the kind sandwich makers wear in fast-food joints. A black cap that looked like it belonged on a tire stem, and some duct tape. Widget ate the items, mistaking them for food.

    Extractions: htmlAdWH('93097763', '234', '60'); Similar Pages The National Marine Fisheries Service reports, a new Navy sonar used in March of 2000, may have caused at least 16 whales and two dolphins to beach themselves on islands in Abaco, Grand Bahamas. Eight whales died. Afterward, scientists found hemorrhaging around their brains and ear bones, injuries consistent with exposure to loud noise. Local beachgoers and mammologists struggled to push remaining whales back into the ocean. Same type of whale stranding happened to a group of whales in Greece, in 1996. Government studies show this occurance to have been caused by the Navy's mid-range frequency active sonars. In both instances, the Navy were using a low-frenquecy sonar, to detect silent nuclear submarines (this sonar, emitting sounds as loud as 215 decibels, which is the same as standing next to a twin-engine F-15 fighter jet as it takes off). Scientific study has proven 180 decibels, are enough to make a whale's brain hemmorage. Also, reports have shown that this sonar has adversely effected: swimmers, scuba divers, marine biologists and even, Navy Seals. Obviously, this high range of noise pollution is a threat to man and marine life. Studies have been done. There are ways to maintain a high standard of National Security and still provide safety for marine mammals and sea life. When half a million dollars a year is spent, in the work to preserve our endangered whale species, why is this LFA Sonar being allowed to put the nation's whales in serious jeopardy? Yes, in fact, a ruling has been passed by the U. S. Goverment, approving use of their LFA Sonar System to be used in 80% of the world's oceans! C'mon, Washington! It's broke, fix it! We, the people, don't want to waste our hard-earned dollars preserving the very mammals, that YOU GUYS are in a hurry to see, extinct in 5-15 years. The majority of us, believe in National Security...but since your keeping us alive..we still live here and want to keep our palace interesting and beautiful.

    Extractions: The Pew Oceans Commission has been established to recommend changes in public policy to protect marine biodiversity. It is impossible to put a value on biodiversity or to portray in a few words its contribution to the human experience. These items have been collected to illustrate marine biodiversity and to open a small window on the wonderful complexity and surprise that can be found in the natural history of each sea creature. Every spring, female horseshoe crabs emerge from the depths to lay up to 20,000 small, green eggs. These eggs are a vital link in shorebird migrations. Traveling to Arctic breeding grounds from winter habitats in South America, from 500,000 to over one million shorebirds time their arrival in Delaware Bay to feast on the eggs, doubling or tripling their weight before moving on. Horseshoe crabs are also vital to protecting the nation's pharmaceutical drug supply; their blood provides a valuable test for the toxins that cause septic shock. During spawning, female horseshoe crabs are collected, bled, and returned unharmed to the water. Under federal law, all intravenous drugs must be tested for impurities with horseshoe crab blood.

    Extractions: Human-induced activities create enormous pressures on our ocean waters, coasts, habitats, wildlife and marine life. The best available science most often cites unintended fishing impacts, coastal development, pollution, climate change, aquaculture, and invasive species as the principal threats to ocean and coastal environments. These pressures are the preliminary areas of inquiry for the Pew Oceans Commission.

"Tragically, under the present regulatory system, the nuclear power industry's needs almost always prevail over the interests of marine life," said Scott Denman, Executive Director of the Safe Energy Communication Council (SECC). "Instead of applying sanctions when a nuclear plant kills more than its allotted quota of endangered species, NRC almost always supports industry attempts to raise the limits on the number of animals that can be killed or captured during reactor operation," Denman added.

    Extractions: An endangered animal or plant is a species that is considered in immediate danger of becoming extinct. Its population is very small and it needs active protection to survive. In the United States, hunting of endangered animals is not allowed. Neither is importation of their meat, fur, tusks, blubber, or other products. Extinction has happened throughout history, but in modern times the rate has increased dramatically. There is a link between the increase in the extinction rate and the growth in human population. The worldwide human population was 1 billion in 1600, 1.5 billion 100 years ago, and is over 6 billion today. At the same time, the species extinction rate has increased to one species a day. If this continues, it will cause a dramatic drop in the diversity of life on our planet, which will most certainly have serious effects. Increasingly, people crowd out places for wild plants and animals to live. Some animals and plants can survive in only one specific type of habitat, and when their habitat disappears, so do they. Some areas have become too polluted and unhealthy for animals and plants to survive. Recreational activities also interfere with wildlife. For marine mammals, there is the special problem of accidental entanglement in fishing nets and collisions with boats.
