The governments of many nations have passed protective laws and put aside national parks and other reserves for wildlife. Different governments, associations and international agencies keep different lists . A species can be considered endangered on one list, threatened on another list and not appear at all on a different list. In addition to these Internet resources the Morris County Library has many books and current magazines with detailed species information. Contact the reference department for help.

Extractions: That is what a tropical coral reef looks like from the air. Not too far under the surface are beautiful gardens of red, purple, yellow, orange, tan, and green coral. 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

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: 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.

Extractions: Bycatch is the term applied to the fish, birds, turtles and marine mammals that are captured by a fishing operation but that are not kept and sold as a commercial product because they have little or no commercial value, are the wrong sex or otherwise do not meet regulatory requirements. Worldwide bycatch is estimated at nearly 60 billion pounds or 25% of the overall global catch. If those rates occur in U.S. fisheries, the amount of marine life unintentionally captured and killed in U.S. waters would average 2.7 billion pounds per year based on recent catches. Thrown back into the sea dead and dying, this marine life is simply wasted. Bycatch mortality exceeds sustainable levels for 13 out of the 44 marine mammals (30%) that suffer high death rates from human activities.

Extractions: Stanford Report, November 29, 2000 Scientists launch the world's first marine life census BY MARK SHWARTZ Blue whales may be the largest animals ever to have inhabited the Earth. An adult can grow to 80 feet long and weigh up to 300,000 pounds. Despite their enormous size, very little is known about the feeding, breeding and migratory habits of these leviathans. This image shows electronic tracking devices attached to an albatross, a leatherback turtle, a bluefin tuna and a northern elephant seal. Artist: Kate Spencer © 2000 But an international research team hopes to change all that by placing electronic tracking devices on a variety of whales, seals, seabirds, turtles, fish and squid whose lifestyles remain a mystery to science. Earlier this month, more than 60 marine scientists and technicians came together at Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, Calif., to design a pilot project demonstrating the feasibility of tracking thousands of sea creatures in the northern Pacific with the use of sophisticated electronic sensors. This unprecedented effort is a major component of the Census of Marine Life a 10-year program to assess the distribution of species in the world's oceans.

Extractions: Past Releases TALLAHASSEE, FL. The Sea Turtle Survival League (STSL) and the Save The Manatee Club (SMC) today, Monday, August 2, instituted legal proceedings to have declared as unconstitutional specific language in the law establishing the new Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC). The offending language limits the Commissions constitutional authority to protect threatened and endangered marine species. Legal papers were filed by the Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund in the Circuit Court for the Second Judicial Circuit for Leon County. In 1998 the voters of Florida overwhelmingly approved adding Amendment 5 to the Florida Constitution. That amendment mandated the merging of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission and the Marine Fisheries Commission into one new fish and wildlife conservation commission responsible for managing and protecting all of Floridas wildlife.

Alphabetical Site Map Marine Life in the Greek seas The Greek seas are perhaps not as abundant in sea life as one would expect. This is mainly because the Mediterranean is not tidal, and therefore there is a dearth of plankton which feeds and sustains most marine life. Also, Greek fishing practices, such as the use of dynamite (now heavily penalised), have seriously depleted fish stocks, and the innocent dolphin and seal have often been forced to carry the blame. However, there's still a good chance that you may catch a glimpse of any of the following: Dolphins, whales, turtles, seals, flying fish, swordfish, tuna and sunfish. Marine mammals delphis@hol.gr If you're lucky you may even get to see a small whale. They do occasionally come into Greek waters. I saw one myself a few years ago on a delivery from Skiathos to Athens. We were going down the outside of Evia when suddenly I heard this huge noise. At first I thought we must have hit a rock and then I saw a spout of water rising barely five meters ahead of us. Of course, the whale meant us no harm and I immediately reported its sighting through Hellas Radio. Over the next few weeks, quite a few whales managed to get themselves beached in various parts of Greece

Extractions: Marine life report highlights need to safeguard our seas A report published today (16 July 2002) by the Wildlife Trusts highlights the dangers posed to Britain's marine life by pollution, over-fishing and coastal development, and calls for new legislation to protect endangered species and habitats. The Government recognises the sense of urgency expressed in this report, and welcomes the Wildlife Trusts' work to highlight these issues. Many of the report's suggestions feature in the package of initiatives announced in DEFRA's first Marine Stewardship Report Safeguarding our Seas (published in May 2002), and are already being carried forward by the Department. New legislation will extend the EU Habitats and Birds Directives, allowing conservation sites to be designated up to 200 nautical miles from the UK coast.
