Presentation Transcript

  1. Week’s Assignments • Invasive Species Chart = DUE MONDAY (see instructions on upcoming slides) • Math Population Worksheet = DUE MONDAY (Review Problems on Monday) • Topic Outline Review Sheet for Chapters 6,9, & 11 = DUE TUESDAY • TEST = TUESDAY

  2. TEST = TUESDAY • Human Population = Chapter 6 • Loss of Biodiversity = Chapter 9 • Sustaining Aquatic Biodiversity = Chapter 11 Topic Outline Review Sheet = DUE: Tuesday (download from website or collect in-class) • MUST BE HANDED IN INDIVIDUALLY TYPED

  3. OTHER Helpful Handouts and Downloads to help study for test: • Chapter PowerPoints based on Textbook • Population Math Tips PDF • Sustaining Biodiversity Review PPT (the one you are reading now!) • Aquaculture Background Handout • Human Population Packet (???) • Topic Outline Review Sheet = Human Population, Fishing, and Loss of Biodiversity***

  4. Invasive Species Assignment • Make 2 posters and/or computer charts on 20 Invasive Species • 10 Deliberate vs. 10 Unintentional (species listed in textbook) • MUST Include: • Column 1 = Species NAME • Column 2 = WHERE the species is natively found and where it was introduced to • Column 3 = WHY, HOW, & EFFECT ( explain how and why the species was introduced whether it was deliberate or accidental and the effect of introduction on ecosystem) • Can use species from book or other species if interested in researching other

  5. Quick Review of Chapters 9 & 11

  6. THINGS TO KNOW • Ecological and Economic Services of: • Marine, • Freshwater • River • Wetland

  7. River Services

  8. Chapter 9 Key Terms: • Background Extinction rate • Biological Extinction • Threatened vs. Endangered vs. Extinction • HIPPCO • Extinction rate • Habitat Fragmentation • Precautionary Principle • Invasive Species

  9. Chapter 11 Key Terms: • Bycatch • Mitigation Banking • MPA’s vs. Reserves • Reconciliation Ecology • Law of Sea Treaty • Maximum vs. Optimum Sustainable Yield • Aquaculture • Riparian Zones

  10. Riparian Zones • Zones of vegetation that surround streams and rivers • Act as natural buffer by controlling floods and by filtering and removing many toxins and excess nutrients before they reach waterways • Damage can destroy natural stream ecosystems

  11. Topic Outline for FISHING... D. Fishing 1. Fishing Techniques 2. Overfishing 3. Aquaculture 4. Relevant laws and treaties

  12. Fishing Methods • Long-line • Purse-seine • Trawling • Drift Nets

  13. International Whaling CommissionIWC • Refer back to Case Study in textbook • What is its goal, mission, and how effective is it? What doesn’t it protect? • Use scientific research as their excuse to hunt and kill whales

  14. SOLUTIONS

  15. Aquaculture (refer to handout for details) • Farms (i.e. shrimp, bivalves) - Each have Pro’s and Con’s • Bivalves and Plants = less consequences • Shrimp and Salmon = more consequences • Ocean Net-Pens (i.e. salmon, other finfish) • BEST Species for culturing = plant eating species • Tilapia

  16. Acts and Treaties • 1975 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES)*** • U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972*** • U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973*** • U.S. Whale Conservation and Protection Act of 1976 • 1979 Global Treaty on Migratory Species • 1995 International Convention on Biological Diversity

  17. LAWS and TreatiesPrevious Chapters • Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act • Federal Mine Safety and Health Act • Energy Policy Act

  18. Marine Mammal Protection Act • 1972 • Prevents any US Citizen from harassing, hunting, or killing any marine mammals • Amended 1994: • Program to monitor incidental taking of marine mammals during commercial fishing practice (bycatch regulations) • Preparation for stock assessments for all marine in waters under US jurisdiction

  19. Edward O. Wilson Complete the mapping of the world’s aquatic biodiversity • Identify and preserve aquatic diversity hotspots • Create large and fully protected marine reserves • Protect and restore the world’s lakes and rivers • Ecological restoration projects worldwide • Make conservation financially rewarding

  20. Aquatic Invasive Species • 2/3 are released unintentionally from ballast water from ships

  21. Examples of Invasive Species • Cane Toads • Gypsy Moth • Indian Mongoose • Zebra Mussel - Great Lakes • Kudzu vine • Burmese Pythons • Caulerpa Taxifolia - mediterranean

  22. Examples of Endangered Species • Giant Panda • Honeybee • African Black Rhino • Minke Whale • Bald Eagle • Gray Wolves • Whooping Crane

  23. Examples of Extinctions • Atlantic Cod • Passenger Pigeon
