34. Mangrove Ecology and Adaptations
...ems on Earth. They provide habitat for a wide variety of marine organisms. They also stabilize shorelines, protecting them from excessive erosion during storms, and protect reefs from land-based pollution and siltation. However, mangrove forests are seriously threatened in many areas, including the Bahamas. Less than half of the original area covered by mangroves remains, and much of the existing forest is degraded. Mangroves are not a strong competitor species. Instead, over time, they have developed several unique adaptations that allow them to thrive in harsh salt water or brackish environments whe...

...the basic procedures involved explain the role of aquaculture in addressing the problem of depleted fisheries apply their math skills in the analysis of real-world scientific problems Time: 1-2 periods Background In recent years, fisheries around the world have been depleted by overfishing. In the Bahamas, overfishing has resulted in a steady decline in the supply of commercial fish species as well as damage to the coral reef habitats where such fish often live. In response, the Bahamian government has made efforts to reduce catch rates and detrimental fishing practices. They have also set aside cert...

37. Columbus' Perception of the New World
...bella of Spain, and he received their support. When Christopher Columbus made his first voyage west across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, he believed he landed on an island somewhere off the coast of Japan. We now know that he made landfall in the Caribbean on the island of Guanahani, an island in the Bahamas. The people who inhabited those islands were the Arawak people part of the culture known as the Taino. Some historians are unsure whether Columbus knew he had explored the coasts of two continents unknown to Europeans (North and South America). Many scholars maintain that Columbus thought he had ind...

39. Global Warming - Math Conversion Review Problems
...s? ANSWER ____________________________ gallons 6. Harry Bryden of the National Oceanography Center at the University of Southampton measured the rate of flow of the Gulf Stream using data that he collected from an array of instruments anchored at 22 mooring, nine of which are positioned east of the Bahamas, four in the mid-Atlantic and nine across the continental slope of east Africa. The rate of ocean flow is measured in Sverdrups (Sv); a flow rate of 1 Sv = one million cubic meters per second. Bryden found that in 1992 the rate of flow was about 20 Sv, and in 2004 it had fallen to 14 Sv. (a) By how...

40. Island Formation
...eefs often ring tropical volcanic islands. Such volcanic islands may erode away or sink below the surface, leaving behind an atoll, a circular ring of coral surrounding a lagoon. If the ocean floor rises again, it may lift the atoll several dozen meters above sea level, creating a coral island. The Bahamas and many islands in the South Pacific were originally just coral reefs. Other islands originate from a mixture of the standard island formation types. Whatever the formation type, an island s geologic history has an important influence on the island s natural resources, including its soil type and c...
