Towra Point Nature Reserve is a place of many different land habitats. It is located in Southern Sydney, New South Wales, in eastern Australia. It produces the largest estuarine wetland complex in NSW and is a protected nature reserve. It Represents around half of the remaining mangrove area near Sydney, and most of the salt marshes area remaining in the region as well. They are also most likely one of the most major contributors to the food web within Botany Bay and provide habitat for many important fish and different invertebrate species of the bay. (SSEC, 2013) This Report will inform the features of the Towra Points ecosystem, its animals and plants’ adaptations, Results that were collected from an excursion to the location, abundance for mangroves and animals, and also the effects of humans on this nature reserve. Study Area - Towra Point Towra Point is a very important and significant wetland in the Sydney, New South Wales region, it is also important at a international and national level. Towra Point Nature Reserve is approximately 16 kilometres south of Sydney, and is at the mouth of the Georges River which is in Botany Bay. Towra Point includes important terrestrial vegetation and wildlife habitats, and is …show more content…
Mangrove roots collect sediments and slow down the water's flow, helping to protect the coastline and preventing erosion overtime. Over a long period of time, the roots can collect enough debris and mud to extend the edge of the coastline further out. Mangroves are teeming with life. Shorebirds, Soldier Crabs, Crab-Eating Monkeys, and fishing cats all make the mangrove home or habitat. Mangroves provide a safe place to live or home and a nursery for a variety of fish, birds, crustaceans, and
Brimbank Park (coordinates 37.7340° S, 144.8370° E) is located in the Maribyrnong Valley (hollowed by the Maribyrnong River), near the Melbourne suburb Keilor. It is intersected by the Maribynong River and the M80 highway, which reveals the adaptive nature of the natural environment in a growing urban area. (Parks Victoria, 2013)
The Revised Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS-2) is a revision of the Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale (CMAS) created by Cecil Reynolds and Bert Richmond in 1985 (Reynolds & Richmond, 2008). The RCMAS-2 includes an updated standardization sample, improved psychometrics, and broadened content (Reynolds & Richmond, 2008). Although these revisions occurred, the brevity, elementary reading level, and content-based item clusters were retained, offering an updated and effective tool for understanding and treating anxiety in school-aged children (Reynolds & Richmond, 2008).
The setting in both Lord of the Flies and I Only Came to Use the Phone contributes to the dehumanization of the characters in each of the readings. The settings are both isolated, which is the cause of all the chaos that takes place because when you take a human being out of the comfort of society, they go back to their natural animalistic tendencies in order to survive. Survival of the fittest is present in these quotes. Also, the island archetype plays a huge role in both of the stories.
1. (45 pts) For each major (CS, IT, DET, IS), identify three important and uniquely identifying characteristics and describe how the four types of professionals would work together in a professional setting. Include information learned from the various instructors for each discipline. How do professionals from these areas work together?
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is the world’s largest coral reef system, located along the northeast coast of Queensland in Australia. GBR stretches from the most northern part in the country – Torres Strait and all the way down to Fraser Island – the southeast part of Queensland. The distance from north to southeast is close to 2575 kilometres and the whole GBR area is covering around 344 400 square kilometres – which might be why you can see the reef all the way from space. GBR contains approximately 2900 individual reefs and not only is it the world’s largest reef but also the earth 's largest formation shaped by living organisms (Zimmermann, 2012).
Did you know tobacco and alcohol use cause over 475,000 deaths in the U.S. annually? To assist young people in avoiding these harmful behaviors, the D.A.R.E. program enhances the knowledge and awareness of the hazards regarding dangerous substances throughout a ten week program. The acronym D.A.R.E. stands for drugs, abuse, resistance, and education. D.A.R.E. ensures the safety of adolescents in various situations and instills beneficial strategies, techniques, and tips to aid young people in making responsible decisions.
The Merri Creek catchment and surrounding areas are home to some of the endangered vegetation communities. As with most vegetation that has been cleared for human purposes in other
Longreach is located in Central Western Queensland and the regions consist of other outback township like Ilfracombe, Isisford and Yaraka.1 Since I will be doing 6 weeks of rural placement in Longreach, I believe it is essential for me to learn more about the background of the community and the place itself. In the 2011 Census, there were 3,625 people in Longreach with 6.9% of the population are made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSIs).2 The median age of people in Longreach was 33 years old2 while the main economy sector are cattle and sheep production and tourism1. Longreach was named after the 'long reach' to the Thomson River3 which serve as the town water sources and recreational areas.1 Longreach is a well-known as a home to the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, and Qantas Outback Founders Museum.1
Wagga Wagga is the largest inland city of New South Wales which is situated on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River. It is in the centre of the Riverina region and it is located in the middle between two largest cities, Sydney in the north east and Melbourne in the south west.
The reef is the is “also the largest structure on Earth made by living organisms” (Zimmermann). The Great Barrier Reef has many different types of reefs. Nearby Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and Swain Reefs is a cresentic reef. A cresentic reef “shaped like crescents” (Zimmermann). The crescentic reefs are commonly found in the middle of the reef system. Bordering Cape York Peninsula, Princess Charlotte Bay and Cairns flat reefs can be found. Planar reefs which are the same as flat reefs can be found in the north and south parts Cape York Peninsula, Princess Charlotte Bay and Cairns. To the north of the Great Barrier Reef, the reef is twisty and narrow. When a reef is twisty and narrow, it is called a ribbon reef. The south of the Great Barrier Reef is a fringing reef. The south of the reef is very unusual, due to the fact the fringing reef is attached to the Whitsunday islands. Usually fringing reefs are not attached to any islands. Also, found all over the reefs are lagoonal reefs
Research My first research experience took place from the Fall 2012 – Summer 2013 in a neurobiology laboratory (Dr. Daniel Plas) focused on Parkinson’s Disease. In this project an undergrad student and I were tasked with optimizing a cellular medium for neural growth of the model organism Lymnaea stagnalis. This was comprised of following established protocols and altering certain variables within the formulas (differing concentrations of ions, pH, et al.) to observe growth pattern differences in vitro.

The 1960s was a period well remembered for all the civil rights movements that occurred during that time frame and the impact these movements had on the social and political dynamics of the United States. The three largest movements that were striving in the 1960s were the African American civil rights movement, the New Left movement and the feminist movement. These three movements were in a lot of ways influenced by each other and were very similar in terms of their goals and strategies. However, within each of these movements there were divisions in the way they tried to approach the issues they were fighting against. Looking at each of these movements individually will reveal the relationship they all share as well as the changes that were brought forth as a result of each groups actions.

The significance of the Great Barrier Reef is mainly because it is the most extensive structure built by living organisms. It is so big and detailed, that it can be seen from the moon. Now part of the World Heritage List, The Great Barrier Reef starts just below Papua New Guinea and is a long stretch of 2000km long running down the North East coast of Australia. (Refer 0.1) It has 2500 different reefs and is home to 1500 species of fish, 350 different types of coral. It is a major breeding area for humpback whales, sea turtles and sea birds. The Great Barrier Reef provides many jobs and has created many industries in Queensland. It is the most significant drawcard for tourism in Queensland. Although the Great Barrier Reef has many species of living creatures. It hold lots of cultural and historical history. In 1975 the Great Barrier Reef was established. It was listed on the world heritage list in October 1981. Now a Marine Park that is managed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. The Reef extends back to thousands of years ago and even has its involvements with the first European explores in the 17th and 18th century.
