Download or read book Glorious Gulf of Mexico written by Jesse Cancelmo and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stunned by widespread ignorance about the Gulf of Mexico following the 2010 Macondo oil spill, underwater photographer Jesse Cancelmo decided to turn his camera on the marine life of this 600,000 square mile international sea that connects five US states, six Mexican states, and the island nation of Cuba. With the goal of countering dismissive descriptions of a Gulf plagued with dead zones and overrun by oil rigs, Cancelmo set out to capture a world rarely acknowledged, let alone seen. Between the Gulf's rich shoreline habitats and its prolific oceanic communities, thriving amid dazzling coral reefs, brine seeps, canyons, salt domes, and hard bottom banks, are more than 15,000 species, including an iconic cast of sea animals: sperm whales, manta rays, whale sharks, manatees, spotted dolphins, and more. Capturing images from locations all around the Gulf, Cancelmo reveals the beauty and glory of these diverse habitats and species. Although this is a book of sensational underwater photography, Cancelmo intends it to be more than a celebration of oceanic beauty. He also hopes to inspire better understanding and appreciation of the natural marine habitats in the Gulf and to strengthen support for their protection and sustainment.

Download or read book The Effect of Caffeine on Algal Endosymbionts of Reef building Corals written by Kelly Ann Pollack and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deterioration of coral reefs is a global environmental problem. Several hypotheses proposed to explain coral bleaching include UV-light exposure, global warming, exposure to intercontinental dust, and sewage pollution. Caffeine is the most widely consumed and excreted psychoactive drug in the world. It is a ubiquitous tracer of urban sewage, but its ecological effects are not well understood. This study tests the hypothesis that caffeine exposure associated with sewage discharge into natural waters exacerbates the effects of environmental stressors associated with coral bleaching. Other investigators working in vitro have reported that 25 mM (5 g/L) of caffeine causes bleaching through its effect on protein phosphorylation. Here, I report the effects of caffeine on four species of coral algae endosymbionts. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of caffeine for cell proliferation ranged from 30 mg/L for Clade C Symbiodinium goreaui (C) and Clade B Symbiodinium sp. from Pseudoterogorgia bipinnata (B7), to 50 mg/L for Clade A Symbiodinium microadriaticum (A), and 75 mg/L for Clade B Symbiodinium sp. from Aiptasia pallida (B6). To assess the effect of caffeine on algal proteins, I used two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and peptide mass spectrometry to identify sensitive proteins. Differential display analyses showed several up-regulated and several down-regulated polypeptides in response to caffeine exposure in all algae species tested. Specifically, 12 polypeptide spots upregulated and 37 polypeptide spots downregulated in C, 19 upregulated and 6 downregulated in B7, 14 upregulated and 13 downregulated in A, and 22 upregulated and 7 downregulated in B6. The results show that caffeine exposure (1) causes a reduction in growth of algal endosymbionts, (2) affects the heat shock proteins that are also associated with coral bleaching, and (3) affects the proteins associated with photosynthesis and glycolysis which are fundamental functions of healthy symbionts. These results demonstrate that my hypothesis concerning the effects of caffeine on the reef ecosystem cannot be rejected. There is a possibility that other chemicals in sewage effluent and additional environmental stressors act synergistically together to contribute to coral bleaching. The findings from this research are important to our understanding of human influence on the marine ecosystem, for improving wastewater treatment policies, and for better environmental management of a valuable ecosystem.

Book excerpt: Captain RP Laxman and Oliver Cape sail to the Olympus Islands on the giant wind ferry Charon. Their mission is to administer the World Authority's peace at the end of the long anarchist war... Expecting to make a useful contribution in an outpost of empire, they instead become enmeshed in local intrigue and incompetence. The Resident Commissioner is a pompous alcoholic, with a Treasurer scheming to replace him. The Secretary, James Darling, is a buffoon with a dangerous, diseased mind. The Japanese trader, Omi, is also prominent in the affairs of the Islands, as are the Resident Commissioner's wife, Jocasta, and the Treasurer's daughter, Hope... The Olympus Islands are being slowly drowned by the ocean. The native People of the Coral, bemused by the Authority's representatives, realise they have to make use of their innate occult vision and take a more active role in their own affairs... Even though they know that, ultimately, the inhabitants of all worlds live at the direction of the Fates and the Furies.
