Aquatic Ecosystems

The health of the aquatic ecosystems right now is not so great.  Oceanographer Sylvia Earle has been tring to save our oceans for over 50 years.  In the video it explains that a third of coral reefs are becoming exstincted.  Oceans are also getting warmer due to global warming and the climate.  Many scientists estimate that we've lost at least 90% of large predatory fish like sharks and swordfish. And sence we have lost them,  there are probably more prey,  which is not good for the predator-prey relationship. 

 I understand that ecosystems are changing because of humans.  When we were doing our projects, we learned the human impact on each biome.  But I have never really thought about what we did to the ocean.  I think that people do care what happens to the ocean, but dont really do anything to change the fact that our oceans are changing a lot because of us.  I think that a lot more people have tried to help the ocean ever sence the oil spill happend.  Also their is predation between us and fish in the sea.

A personal connection i have made to these ecosystems is this summer i got a chance to go snorkeling down in the grand cayman islands.  I enjoyed it very much, we snorkeled around where a coral reef was.  I thought that it was very cool.  I would not want all of the coral reefs to eventually go exstinked because its very interesting to see. 

power balance bands

Question #1. I was not sure whether or not to believe that the power balance bands work or not, but in my conclusion I believe they do.  When I was researching this topic, I found some great evidence to support this.   When the hologram comes in contact with your body's energy feild, it allows your body to interact with the natural, benefical frequency stored within the hologram.  This results in improved energy flow throughout your body.

#2. My hypothosis is that the power balance bands will work. A way to test the hypothosis is to buy a band and try to see if you notice any changes or not. I also believe that the placebo effect might effect the way people think it works.

#3. It is important to see all sides of the issue before making a hypothosis because if you only saw one side of the story, you would probably think it was right.  But if you saw all the sides, you would be able to predict which one was true.
