In view of the world's economic plight, is it reasonable to expect people worried about their own welfare to support conservation schemes, however noble they may be? "It's certainly not easy being green in most of sub-Saharan Africa, where millions of people face political upheaval, tribal warfare, famine and epidemic disease," comments Time. The same is true elsewhere. Radical changes are necessary if the problem of endangered species is to be solved. According to The Atlas of Endangered Species, these changes are "of such magnitude that they can only be made by governments." It then recommends: "Where governments are elected, it is the responsibility of each individual to ensure that by the year 2000 only politicians sensitive to the environment are elected." Is this a realistic prospect? Judging by the testimony of history, we must conclude that "man has dominated man to his injury"—and wildlife as well. (Ecclesiastes 8:9) Indeed, many conservationists believe that earth's flora and fauna serve as environmental indicators. When these are endangered, so are we humans. But this is not the first time in human history that all earth's life has been threatened with extinction.

These gardens are ever-changing with the colorful live coral polyps swaying back and forth in the water, and from the vibrant colors of the animals and fishes who dart in and out of the coral formations looking for food or hiding from predators. reef . Reef-forming coral polyps must have a special food released by a single-celled algae, as it helps them secrete limestone. The algae take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the water. And enough light must penetrate the water for photosynthesis to occur in the algae, so the water must be clean and clear. Reef-forming corals cannot live in water that is below 65°F (18°C). This is why you find coral reefs in shallow, warm tropical seas. After a very long period of time, millions of these tiny coral animals can build long reefs (like the Great Barrier Reef), or even build islands! Many South Pacific islands were built by these tiny coral animals. But environmental conditions had to be just right for this to happen. The word "reef" is described as a chain of coral, rocks, or a ridge of sand at or near the surface of water. There are three main types of

    http://eces.org/articles/000800.php
    
    Extractions: (Current category is Life Disintegrating (Earth Crash)) The U.K. Independent and BBC report that a boycott of prawns (shrimp) is being urged by British campaigners due to the massive damage done to the seabed and marine life by prawn trawlers. The Environmental Justice Foundation said that in some cases prawns are only 5 percent of the material dredged up by industrial ships searching for the crustaceans. A study by the foundation, Squandering the Seas , warns that so-called "prawn trawling", in which nets are pulled over the seabed, catch relatively little prawns and is endangering other marine species. The "bycatch" of other species dragged up is enormous, said the London-based foundation. The report says the ratio of bycatch (other species caught accidentally) to prawns is typically 5:1 in temperate seas, and 10:1 in the tropics, but in some fisheries the ratio is as high as 20:1. Most of the bycatch is simply thrown back into the sea dead or dying. Prawn fisheries are responsible for one-third of the world's discarded catch although they produce less than 2 percent of global seafood. Recent reports of overfishing and plummeting fish stocks have begun to alter the illusion that the seas are an inexhaustible resource, yet few people are aware that prawn trawling is one of the most destructive and wasteful fisheries of all, with hundreds of other bycatch species usually thrown back into the sea. This degradation has been compared by scientists to the destruction of the world's forests.

    Extractions: That Pursues a Sublime Goal Marine Life and the Sea , written by David H. Milne, is an exciting new book. Of the three marine-biology texts that I have reviewed for The Textbook Letter , this is the best one for use in high-school honors courses or advanced-placement courses. [Editor's note: The other marine-biology texts that Gary C. Williams has appraised in TTL are Mosby's Marine Biology (see our issue for March-April 1992) and Wm. C. Brown's An Introduction to the Biology of Marine Life (see the issue for September-October 1992).] In his preface Milne announces two objectives, the first of which is to enable readers to understand the probable responses of the oceans and marine organisms to human activities. The second is "to convey an appreciation for the intrinsic beauty and value of marine plants and animals, apart from their roles as unpaid crew members who maintain humanity's life-support machinery in the hold of spaceship Earth." This is a sublime goal, and it helps to imbue Marine Life and the Sea with a refreshing tone of originality.

    Extractions: Click to watch video of sonar's effects Around the globe, nations are currently testing and beginning to deploy "active sonar" technology, which uses extremely loud sound to detect submarines. But active sonar has been proven harmful to marine mammals and fish; it has been linked to a series of mass strandings and deaths of whales in recent years. Photo: Bill Lawton / NMML The historic agreement between the Navy and the coalition comes after NRDC proved in court that the Navy's plan to deploy LFA sonar through 75 percent of the world's oceans was illegal. The Navy has now agreed that use of LFA sonar will be guided by negotiated geographical limits and seasonal exclusions, which conservationists believe will protect critical habitat and whale migrations. None of the limits apply during war or heightened threat conditions; the pact demonstrates that current law can safeguard both the environment and national security. But whales and other marine life are not yet safe from Department of Defense activities. In the greatest single rollback of marine mammal protections in the last 30 years, Congress approved legislation in November 2003 that will exempt the U.S. military from core provisions of the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. It will now be far easier for the U.S. military to harass and kill whales, dolphins and other marine mammals with high-intensity sonar and underwater explosives. The new exemptions are unlikely to affect the court's ruling on LFA sonar because the Bush administration violated so many different laws in approving that particular system. But the Navy is considering the wider deployment of other, equally dangerous sonar systems.

    Extractions: Creating Havens for Marine Life Marine protected areas are urgently needed to stem the tide of marine biodiversity loss. The United States is the world's best-endowed maritime nation, its seas unparalleled in richness and biological diversity. The waters along its 150,000 kilometers of shoreline encompass virtually every type of marine habitat known and a profusion of marine speciessome of great commercial value, others not. It is paradoxical, then, that the United States has done virtually nothing to conserve this great natural resource or to actively stem the decline of the oceans' health. As a result, the U.S. national marine heritage is gravely threatened. The damage goes on largely unnoticed because it takes place beneath the deceptively unchanging blanket of the ocean's surface. The marine environment is rapidly undergoing change at the hands of humans, revealing the notion of vast and limitless oceans as folly. Human degradation takes many forms and results from many activities, such as overfishing, filling of wetlands, coastal deforestation, the runoff of land-based fertilizers, and the discharge of pollution and sediment from rivers, almost all of which goes on unchecked. Out of sight, out of mind. The signs of trouble are everywhere. The formerly rich and commercially critical fish stocks of Georges Bank in the Northeast have collapsed, gutting the economy and the very nature of communities along New England's shores. In Long Island Sound, Narragansett Bay, the Chesapeake, and throughout the inlets of North Carolina, toxic blooms of algae disrupt the food chain and affect human health. In Florida, the third largest barrier reef in the world is suffering from coral bleaching, coral diseases, and algal overgrowth. Just inland, fixing the ecological damage to the great Everglades is expected to cost billions of dollars. Conditions are even worse in the Gulf of Mexico, where riverborne runoff has created a "dead zone" of lifeless water that covers thousands of square miles and is expanding fast.

The Gulf of Maine was selected as the ecosystem pilot study for CoML. The goal of this program is to gain enough knowledge to enable ecosystem-based management in a large marine environment. The program will advance knowledge of both biodiversity and ecological processes over a range of habitats and food-chain levels, from plankton to whales. The Gulf of Maine is a dynamic ecosystem. Both natural and human influences have wrought large changes in the abundance and diversity of life in its waters. Such species as mackerel, herring, and lobster have flourished at times, but wild Atlantic salmon are endangered, and traditional livelihoods have been wiped out by the collapse of such bottom-dwelling fish as haddock and cod. We know a lot about some individual species, but we don't know enough about these populations, their habitats, and their interactions with one another and their environment to determine why these changes have taken place or what the future may hold.

    Extractions: Galapagos Marine Life The combination of warm tropical waters and the upwelling nutrient rich cool Humboldt waters allows the Galapagos Islands to support a wide array of marine life. These waters are home to sharks, sea turtles, sea lions , and 306 varieties of fish, 25% of these fish are endemic. There are few coral reefs in these waters, instead the crevasses in the lava provides the function of a reef in other environments. Smaller fish live protected within the crevasses coming out to feed, and invertebrates make their home in the lava. The marine food chain and life is established around the lava as larger fish live near the lava area where they feed on the smaller fish. Diving in the Galapagos has been rapidly increasing in the last few years. Dive trips focus on viewing the Marine Life. These trips visit some of the remote island areas like Darwin and Wolf where land visits are not possible, but diving is exceptional. The highlight of these trips is viewing the Galapagos' big animals including Whale Sharks and Hammerheads. Natural history cruises also allow visitors to have a glimpse of life under the sea. These trips offer snorkeling excursions in place like Devil's Crown a submerged volcano, which offers an experience similar to swimming in a tropical fish tank. The Galapagos Marine Life is incredible and this is an opportunity not to be missed.

    Extractions: STELLER SEA LION ESA WAIVER The current hardships caused by the closure of much of Alaska's trawl fishery, ordered because of the continuing decline of the ESA-listed Steller sea lion population, is not a problem with the Endangered Species Act, nor is an exemption for this fishery from the act warranted. Indeed, such an exemption would set a dangerous precedent, not just for the protection of threatened and endangered species across the nation, but for many fish stocks that rely on measures taken only under the ESA to protect their habitats. An ESA exemption for Stellers would open the floodgate for dam operators, water diverters, timber and oil companies, among others, to seek exemptions for their activities that are killing fish and putting fishermen out of business. There are simply other and better ways to provide relief to the beleaguered Alaskan fishery. The current belief, but hardly undisputed, is that trawling has diminished the amount of fish available to the sea lions thereby causing the animal's population to crash. If this is, in fact, the case then measures have to be taken under the law to address the impact of the fishery on the animals. In this instance, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) was required to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Biological Opinion to analyze the options available to it for protecting Stellers. The subsequent order to close the trawl fishery by Judge Zilly on 8 August, 2000, was not because the fishery may have been impacting Stellers, but because NMFS failed to prepare an adequate EIS. Let's be clear, in this case it was NMFS's failure that caused the fishery to be shut down, not the ESA.
