  • Ghost Net Impacts on Coral Reefs Time to Complete Lesson: 20-30 Minutes
    Ghost (net) Busters Ghost Net Impacts on Coral Reefs Time to complete lesson: 20-30 minutes Purpose of module: This module allows students to simulate the impacts of ghost nets on a coral reef. Students will build a model healthy reef ecosystem, damage it using a ghost net, and then remove it from the reef. Students will conduct a damage assessment caused by the net dragging across the reef using quadrats. Background information: Coral reefs, also known as the rainforests of the sea, are one of the most diverse and ecologically complex marine ecosystems. They are found in warm, tropical waters with high salinity and high light exposure. A coral reef is made up of individual coral polyps that resemble tiny anemones and are attached to the reef. Each coral polyp is less than half an inch in diameter, but they live in colonies which Figure 1: A healthy coral reef system. can expand and take up the size of a small car. Reef building corals have a skeleton made of calcium carbonate, a mineral that is left behind when an individual coral dies. Another coral may settle on that spot and grow on top of the remaining skeleton. This allows a coral reef to grow a few centimeters each year, eventually reaching massive sizes. Coral reefs provide food and shelter for many plants, invertebrates, and fish. It is estimated that at least 25% of all marine life spendCredit: part MostBeautifulThings.net of their life at a coral reef. Coral reefs provide shelter for small fish, and small fish attract larger fish, which in turn attract large predators like sharks.

  • The Ring, the Gown, and the Apple: the Role of Magical Objects in The
    Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies 44 (2) 244–258 The ring, the gown, and the apple: the role of magical objects in the Byzantine vernacular romance Kallimachos and Chrysorroi Rui Carlos Fonseca Universidade de Lisboa [email protected] Magical objects play an important role in the fourteenth-century Byzantine vernacular romance Kallimachos and Chrysorroi, not due to their supernatural powers, but rather in order to make the chivalric status of the romance hero stand out, inasmuch as he does not resort to any of them to achieve his goals. Keywords: Byzantine vernacular romance; Palaeologan fiction; magical objects; supernatural; heroic behaviour In Greek literary fiction, the hero is often to be found resorting to, or being granted, magical help in order to overcome difficult tasks in a quest or to slay supernatural creatures that the ordinary man cannot face. We see this in the epic warrior in his pursuit for glory and valiant deeds, in the holy man and his fight against evil, as well as in the romance hero during his chivalric adventures and wanderings in search of his beloved princess. Although magic in general, and magical objects in particular, are not recurring motifs in ancient Greek novels,1 the topic becomes prominent in Byzantine love fiction of the Palaeologan period. The two verse romances Livistros and Rodamni (mid-thirteenth century) and Kallimachos and Chrysorroi (fourteenth century) are of great importance in this respect. Palaeologan romances cover a time range from the mid-thirteenth century up to the late fifteenth, and were recited as literary entertainment in front of an elite audience from 1 Heliodorus’ Aethiopica is the exception, being the only extant ancient Greek novel where magic is to be found.

  • Presentation on Ghost Net Issues
    YEAR ONE The Olive Ridley Project, founded in the Maldives in 2013, attempts to identify key factors contributing to ghost net production in the Indian Ocean. WHAT ARE GHOST NETS? Ghost nets are fishing nets that have been discarded, abandoned or lost in the ocean. SILENT KILLERS Nets will often be taken by oceanic currents and travel huge distances. This means that their detrimental effects can be prevalent far from their original point of entry into the water. They will entangle many threatened animals along the way. MANATEES RAYS SEA BIRDS SEA TURTLES SHARKS DOLPHINS WHALES Coral reefs can also be smothered and fouled by nets causing further loss of life. ARABIAN SEA BAY OF BENGAL INDIA ACTION SRI LANKA The Olive Ridley Project is working to tackle the ghost net problem in MALDIVES the Indian Ocean using four main focus areas: Research, awareness, removal and recycling.
