21. Oceans
    And over the time, the oceans have grown even more bitter with the salt 350 millionyears ago that the first pioneer of land life crept out on the shore.

    Extractions: Most of the world's water is contained in five oceans that are: The Arctic, the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian and the Antarctic.The Pacific is the biggest ocean in the world. It is even bigger than all the world's land pulled together. The Arctic ocean is mostly covered with ice. During summer, some of the ice melts, and because of this many big pieces of ice called ice packs or icebergs are released. Dimensions Oceans Area(km2) Depth(m) Arctic North Pacific South Pacific North Atlantic South Atlantic Indian Antarctic Importance Now all of us know about oceans and seas. Oceans and seas, also known as the hydrosphere, are responsible for the regulation of many huge processes that accrue on the surface of the sea. The movement of ocean currents also creates effects in some places. Questions about oceans 1: Why can't we breathe under water? Fish can breathe underwater because they have gills. Gills let water go out and keep oxygen in. People haven't got gills so they can't breathe under water.

    Extractions: REYKJAVIK , Iceland April 4, 2003 (ENS) - Whale conservationists around the world have condemned Iceland's proposal submitted this week to the International Whaling Commission to begin whaling under the convention's scientific research provisions. Iceland wants to catch 100 fin whales, 50 sei whales and 100 northern minke whales each year. Both fin and sei whales are classified as endangered by IUCN, the World Conservation Union. WASHINGTON, DC, April 1, 2003 (ENS) - The Bush administration said Monday it will not appeal a court decision that upheld California's right to ban oil and gas exploration in federal waters off the central coast of the state. Administration officials downplayed this reversal in policy and said they now prefer to resolve the dispute through negotiations rather than in the courts.

    Extractions: She arose from the waves, on the darkest night of my life. As I sat on the beach, contemplating my life's worth, I called to God in anger, " Why have you deserted me Lord, I am alone and need you". I collapsed on the sand and looked into the night sky, there were no stars. I remember thinking, I have never seen such darkness, nor felt it. I came to the ocean, when I needed to think. I would sit and listen to the waves crash onto the shore, and be taken away by their melody. It was here, that I could look deep into myself and figure it all out. This night, I thought would be my last on earth.

    Extractions: THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary PRESIDENT CLINTON AND VICE PRESIDENT GORE: PROTECTING OUR OCEANS AND COASTS May 26, 2000 President Clinton, in a visit to Assateague Island National Seashore at the start of the Memorial Day weekend, will announce new protections for America's beaches, coasts, and ocean resources. The President will direct the Commerce and Interior departments to develop a plan to permanently protect Hawaii's rich coral reefs; issue an Executive Order directing agencies to establish a network of ocean conservation areas; and direct the Environmental Protection Agency to take new steps to limit pollution of beaches, oceans and coasts. In addition, the President will call on Congress to approve his Lands Legacy initiative, which proposes record funding for protecting ocean and coastal resources. New Stresses on Our Oceans and Coasts. The Clinton Administration has taken major steps to protect marine resources, including: extending through 2012 a moratorium on offshore oil and gas leasing; leading international efforts to protect whales and other marine mammals; securing new funding to rebuild marine fisheries; and boosting funding for national marine sanctuaries more than four-fold. But pressures on our oceans and coasts continue to mount.

    Extractions: On the surface, the oceans give few clues as to the huge range of life forms that dwell beneath, and the complex relationships between them. In 1978, New Zealand declared a 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and has exclusive management rights to this area. Because of our mid-ocean position and outlying islands, our EEZ is very large - in fact it is the fourth largest in the world, and equal to about 15 times our land area. Within this vast area of ocean is everything from subtropical to sub-Antarctic waters; from shallow estuaries teeming with life to barren undersea trenches up to 10,000 metres deep.

    Extractions: Whales and Our Oceans Whale facts: Whales are marine mammals. They have lungs instead of gills, hair instead of scales, and they give birth live. They breathe through a blowhole located on the top of their head, and they hear through holes behind their eyes. There are about 80 kinds of whales living in oceans around the world. Whales can grow to over 100 ft. long, and they can weigh over 200 tons. Whales live in family groups called pods. They communicate by making high pitched sounds. Listen to a whale!

Some can be done in one session, and others might be completed over several sessions. Look for the to find "task cards" which can be printed out. Suggested grade levels are indicated in parentheses. Whale Migrations Why should we be interested in tracking the movements of whales? Biologists and oceanographers can learn more about how the environment affects animal behavior, and they can study environmental change by watching the effects those changes have on whale movements. Whales migrate, or travel from one place to another, to find food, to breed, and to give birth to their young. They migrate for several reasons. Look at the links below, and see if you can find enough information to answer the task card questions. Gray whales migration map - notice where they spend the winter and summer.

    Extractions: Sargassum Weed Did you know that every group of animals found on land is represented in the sea as well? For example, the phylum Arthropoda is represented on land by the scorpions, and in the sea by the crabs! Indeed, it is believed that all animals (including humans) originated from the sea! The story started about three hundred million years ago, when a type of lungfish left the water, and managed to survive on land. From it evolved all the creatures that live on the land and in the seas. So now, we even have some reptiles and mammals that have re-adapted to the marine environment while still retaining their air-breathing lungs. Such examples include turtles, dolphins and whales. Many animals live in the oceans and seas. These inhabitants range from the smallest protist to the enormous blue whale on whose broad back, eight elephants can stand in a row! The following are examples of some of the inhabitants of the sea: Whales are the largest creatures found in the oceans. The blue whale has an average length of 33 metres, a girth of 12 metres and a weight of up to 150 tonnes! These warm-blooded creatures have a thick layer of fat in their bodies called blubber. The blubber keeps them warm in some of the coldest oceans in the world, allowing them to dive to depths of up to 2,000 metres. It is partly because of this blubber that whales are in demand commercially, and why some have been hunted almost to extinction. There are two types of whales :

    Extractions: Stand on any beach or shoreline and look out toward the water. What you'll see is an area called the nearshore, which is a part of all coastal watersheds. The nearshore is defined as an indefinite zone extending seaward from the shoreline well beyond the breaker zone. It defines the area where the current system is caused primarily by wave action. Whether marine or freshwater, nearshore waters serve a variety of functions. They provide a unique habitat for a variety of plants and animals. Sea grasses and other aquatic plants living in the nearshore waters provide food and shelter for many species of fish and shellfish. Many marine organisms, including most commercially valuable fish species, depend on nearshore waters at some point during their development. Nearshore waters provide habitat for 80 percent of the fish species in the United States.
