New England Seafood Company is a leader in the northeastern United States in harvesting and processing seafood. The company’s senior executives believe that there must be a change in the corporate strategy to maintain their competitive advantage, as foreign producers are affecting their current yields. Currently, New England Seafood Company operates in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico dealing exclusively in saltwater fish. Management feels that a move into the freshwater fish sector will provide the company with a new directive and future stability.

If I had lived during the Holocaust, the hardships would include lack of shelter, starvation, and survival. To start, people struggled to find a safe shelter. The book Milkweed is about a boy who has to change the locations of his shelter to be able to survive. I know that during this time period a lot of people who were jewish were taken to concentration camps were they were forced to work and were treated harshly. Because of this people had to change the location of their shelter to escape getting caught. Additionally, people also had to face the struggles of starvation. Since hitler and his nazis were killing off a lot of people, the people who owned food stores could no longer sell food. This meant that people couldn’t get the same amount

In Sea Oak, George Saunders composes a story that examines social classes by applying satire. He uses the narrator's Aunt Bernie to teach a valuable lesson about life. The valuable lesson is that one should appreciate what they have in life my making the most out of it. It is essential for people to acknowledge what they have, on the grounds that one day it might be gone. In Sea Oak, Saunders represents two Aunt Bernie’s, a before life Aunt Bernie and an after-life Aunt Bernie.

The Seacoast of New Hampshire and the surrounding regions are full of a vast amount of local food resources. In my town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, people are making it their life’s work to spread awareness about the importance of locally grown food. The Seacoast Growers Association is one organization that has been holding farmers’ markets since the 1970s. Besides just working to make local food available on the seacoast, “…this Local Food Network also offers great educational and awareness building programs and promotes the importance of clean water, air and land to preserving not just our agricultural heritage, but also our future” (Seacoast Growers Association).

#5. The central idea of this story is one does not have to settle for lower-class status, but can overcome poverty through hard work and sacrifice. The situational irony in this story, that I for one did not see coming, was sweet Aunt Bernie, who saw the positive in all situations, was actually the biggest perpetuator of the idea that one’s social class cannot change. Instead of teaching her nieces and nephew that hard work and sacrifice can improve your quality of life, she taught them to sacrifice a better quality life by seeing the good and making do in mediocrity. It is only through death that Aunt Bernie sees all the opportunities she missed out on and the danger she put herself in by not setting goals to

While invasive species are prohibited, that doesn’t mean all new species are prohibited. Not all new species become invasive. New species only become invasive when they become independent from humans for survival by winning the competition against native species for resources. These species also normally don’t obtain any natural predators which allows for growth and reproductive success to go unchecked. Two invasive species that seem to be more and more common around our roadsides lately are the Japanese Knotweed and the poison parsnips.

The purpose of this research paper is to evaluate and examine California Ocean Protection Act in many ways, such as how it is critical to the state's environmental and economic security, and how integral to the state's high quality of life and culture. This paper will use primary sources, such as E. Goldman, Sonke Mastrup, State of California Ocean Protection Council and Legal Info for California to analyze and evaluate the importance of Ocean environment in California coasts.

Duckweed are flowering aquatic plants which float on or just beneath the surface of still or slow-moving bodies of fresh water and wetlands (Sheh-May 2004). Botanists classify them as a separate family, Lemnaceae. These plants are simple in structure by lacking a visible stem or leaves. The larger part of each plant is a small prearranged "thallus" or "frond" structure that is only a few cells thick. These contain air pockets made of a spongey tissue called aerenchyma that allows the plant to float on top of or just beneath the surface of the water (Sculthorpe 1984). Reproduction is done primarily by asexual budding. This occurs at the base of the frond where the meristem is enclosed.

Thirty percent of Warsaw’s population were Jews prior to the Holocaust, which was a staggering 350,000. However, during the Holocaust 400,000 Jews were forced to live in grotesque conditions by the Nazi regime. In the novel Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli, Misha, a young orphaned boy, befriended a group of boys living in a barn. As turmoil spread in Europe about the Nazi reign, Jewish people were captivated and imprisoned in ghettos to be isolated from the rest of the population. Ensnared to stay with his “pseudo” family, Misha, lives with the Milgroms in a ghetto. As the story progresses, different themes such as famine, disease, and death, manifest throughout the novel resembling the annexation of the Nazi party and the captivity of millions

Through the Biology 124 Lab class on the spring 2016, my classmates, professor, and I went to Maunalua Bay for initial monitoring. I had never been there, so I surprised the difference between the real bay and what I expected. The Maunalua Bay is cleaner and more beautiful than I expected. I thought that there are more rocks, but there are more algae and sea animals than rocks. I found Asparagopsis taxiformis, Avrainvillea amadelpha, Gracilaria salicornia, shrimp, crab, and hermit crab. There are Avrainvillea amadelpha the most. I enjoyed finding many algaes and sea animals, and counting the algaes in Maunalua Bay.

Walmart has a large retail seafood business and it is always a challenge to reduce cost and promote sustainability. With upward trend for the demand of sea-food, depletion of the seafood supply is inevitable unless Walmart have a deep engagement of their supply chain. One strategy that Walmart wants to promote to their suppliers is for all of them to take up the Marine Stewardship Council’s certification program. This process will be time consuming, expensive and complex. The depletion of some fish poses a threat to Walmart and its seafood supply chain.
