The Human Edge The human edge is the area along the shore; more than half of the human population of the planet lives within 50 kilometres of an ocean. The scientists at the census estimate by the year 2020, 2/3 of the world's population will live by the human edge. MORE : The two zones of the human edge The human edge has been used since the first people emerged in Africa, because it was an area rich in food and resources. The census divides the human edge into two zones: The near shore The near shore, the most accessible part of the ocean, is the best-known and relatively rich in species. It includes beaches, reefs, mangrove swamps and islands, (including the reef off New Caledonia where the census scientists discovered the new mollusks). The near shore makes up two per cent of the oceans, with six per cent of the known species.

THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary PRESIDENT CLINTON AND VICE PRESIDENT GORE: PROTECTING OUR OCEANS AND COASTS May 26, 2000 President Clinton, in a visit to Assateague Island National Seashore at the start of the Memorial Day weekend, will announce new protections for America's beaches, coasts, and ocean resources. The President will direct the Commerce and Interior departments to develop a plan to permanently protect Hawaii's rich coral reefs; issue an Executive Order directing agencies to establish a network of ocean conservation areas; and direct the Environmental Protection Agency to take new steps to limit pollution of beaches, oceans and coasts. In addition, the President will call on Congress to approve his Lands Legacy initiative, which proposes record funding for protecting ocean and coastal resources. New Stresses on Our Oceans and Coasts. The Clinton Administration has taken major steps to protect marine resources, including: extending through 2012 a moratorium on offshore oil and gas leasing; leading international efforts to protect whales and other marine mammals; securing new funding to rebuild marine fisheries; and boosting funding for national marine sanctuaries more than four-fold. But pressures on our oceans and coasts continue to mount.

Send them to: The Oceans Shore Have you ever stood on the oceans shore, and looked far to the other side, Just as the sun is rising, or setting, and wishing a loved one was by your side? You can never see so much beauty here on earth as this doth bring, It makes one so somber, you have a compelling urge to just burst out and sing. Ships passing, masts raised up high, with the sunset gleaming off the bow, Into the oceans water, and it seems to go so much further down below. It's a time of thankfulness, that we are here together this wondrous day, When once in war over there, you seemed close, yet so far, far away. It was at sunset I would dwell upon the things of us, the way we feel, and care, Makes it so awesome in this great beauty, to look to the Lord and talk to Him there, As we know in our hearts, that the glow of the sun upon water was put there by He Who will one day bring us to a place even more wondrous, there in Eternity. He watches after the ships assail, keeps the mighty ocean still as the gentle breeze

Ê Our coastal zone includes our catchment areas, the rivers that run into the oceans and the oceans themselves. In the coastal zone you will find the beaches that we use, the rocky shores and the estuaries. It's important to remember that all these areas are connected, along with the plants and animals we depend on it to be clean and healthy for our survival. To find out more about these different areas click on the map or choose an area from the list . Intertidal Collections http://www.nmnh.si.edu/botany/projects/algae/InterTid.htm The intertidal zone, lying between the extreme high and low water marks, is at the interface between land and the ocean. This zone yields some of the most interesting algal collections, especially on temperate coasts or in areas with high tidal amplitude where species distribution limits determined by biological and physical factors are evident. The varied intertidal micro-habitats (rock, sand, tidepools, attached organisms) and differing degrees of exposure to the elements (wave surge, sand scouring, freezing, desiccation, etc.) account for the high species diversity found here. In the earlier days of phycology, most specimens were collected from this zone, and even today the intertidal zone is an important collecting habitat.

(ENN) Australia's scientific agency has been doing a lot of research in the Antarctic during this Year of the Ocean, and one of their recent discoveries is a source of dense, oxygen-rich Antarctic Bottom Water which breathes life into the world's oceans. Dr. Steve Rintoul, a Southern Ocean specialist at CSIRO Marine Research and the Antarctic Cooperative Research Centre in Hobart, has identified a section of the Antarctic coast directly south of Tasmania as the source of one quarter of the Antarctic Bottom Water formed. Cold air near Antarctica cools the ocean to the point that sea ice begins to form. As ice forms, salt is released to the water beneath the new ice. Both the low temperatures and higher salinity make the surface water heavy enough to sink 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) to the bottom of the ocean, hence the name Antarctic Bottom Water.

Contact Stanford Report News Service Press Releases Stanford Report, February 19, 2002 Marine biologists work to solve 'black box' mysteries of ocean life BY MARK SHWARTZ New studies conducted in coastal waters from California to the Caribbean are forcing marine scientists to abandon long-held assumptions about life in the ocean and how best to protect it. "We used to think that marine organisms went vast distances when they floated in the sea, but it turns out that that they are not really going that far," said Stephen R. Palumbi, a professor of biological sciences at Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station. "We're finding that the oceans are not just one big neighborhood but are chopped up into smaller ones. In fact, every bit of coastline might be a small neighborhood that we can manage and try to preserve on its own."

OCEANS by George Vasiliou, George Missailidis, Nick Papadopoulos, Demetra Atsaloglou Teacher: P. Vlontaki Psyhico College Main oceans Most of the world's water is contained in five oceans that are: The Arctic, the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian and the Antarctic.The Pacific is the biggest ocean in the world. It is even bigger than all the world's land pulled together. The Arctic ocean is mostly covered with ice. During summer, some of the ice melts, and because of this many big pieces of ice called ice packs or icebergs are released. Dimensions Oceans Area(km2) Depth(m) Arctic North Pacific South Pacific North Atlantic South Atlantic Indian Antarctic Importance Now all of us know about oceans and seas. Oceans and seas, also known as the hydrosphere, are responsible for the regulation of many huge processes that accrue on the surface of the sea. The movement of ocean currents also creates effects in some places. Questions about oceans 1: Why can't we breathe under water? Fish can breathe underwater because they have gills. Gills let water go out and keep oxygen in. People haven't got gills so they can't breathe under water.

Why are Oceans so Important? 97% of the world's water is held in our oceans. These determine weather patterns and climate, regulate temperature, establish the chemistry of the Earth and form the core of our global water cycle. Oceans additionally generate over 70% of the atmosphere's oxygen and absorb much of the global carbon dioxide, therefore creating a world suitable for human existence. Oceans are home to a multitude of weird and wonderful life forms, many yet to be discovered. From the depths of the ocean floor to shallow beaches, from the warm tropical seas to the freezing Antarctic waters, Earth's oceans provide a varied complex network of habitats which support billions of life forms. Oceanic ecosystems are delicate. Each and every marine species is intrinsically linked to others in an intricate food web. Affecting the abundance and/or distribution of one species will have numerous consequences on the complex balance of life which forms our marine world. Healthy Oceans?
