Invasive Lion Fish

 Lion Fish were dumped into the Pacific most likely by people who had them as pets or by researchers not thinking and just getting rid pf them, they were never on those reefs before and are taking over due to them being a predator. They are killing all smaller fish that they can eat, they are putting Goby species on the endangered species list and are causing issues. In years to come the environment will be changed and it will maybe not have some species which will alter the ocean which will cause even more issues.

    With lion fish being placed in the Pacific ocean it will effect the environment. It can turn into an invasive species which is not good at all. That will affected to food chain in the ocean

    What can we do to fix it? How long will it take to stop it? What kind of affects will it have?

    I do also wonder what we are we going to do this and how we can fix this. I feel that some more studies do need to be done so we can figure out the outcome. Will it bad or will it be good. What role are these fish going to play in the environment and what will happen when we take them out. I think we need to answer these questions first before we do anything about it.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
