Sea level rise

 Ahram Solis 

In the past few years there has a been a rise to the sea level and this can affect the population living near the oceans. The reason the sea level is rising is because the ice glaciers have been melting from the climate warming, which is releasing high amounts of water and making the ocean rise higher. A nasa study says,”Sea level from 1993 to 2020 has been rising about 3.3 millimeters per year.” This shows that if the ice glaciers keep on melting the people who live near water will have to move because their land will be under water if this continues. This will make everyone around the world to relocate, which can be horrific problem. The places that will be most affected by this will be island because they will totally covered by the ocean. This is just one way global warming will affect how we live in the future.

    Ahram,
    I really liked how you incorporated what we've been doing in class to this most recent blog post. The melting of glaciers is a lot greater of an issue than we like to admit. But just because we aren't talking about it doesn't mean it's NOT happening and I believe that, that is our biggest problem. We continue to ignore the signs and issues and in turn they just keep amplifying ,and soon the damage will be irreversible. It's scary to think that one day we might not have anymore chances to make a change.

    I really enjoyed reading your post and it is really interesting how much somethings can change. I think its interesting to think about the sea level rising so much that parts of states could be underwater. Its interesting how people don't think about global warming that much when there are different studies to show the effects it can have on our world.

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
