Marines Life
What are the major groups of marine life?
What are the major groups of marine life? Can anyone help me? I am learning the basics before we get into depth of whatever class this is.
Marine animals are divided into three groups: zooplankton, nekton, and benthos.
Zooplankton are drifting animals and are usually small, however, they can grow to fairly large size.
Nekton are the free swimmers and probably the largest portion of familiar animals found in the ocean belong to this class.
Benthos are sea animals that spend their entire lives on or in the ocean bottom.

Marines In The Pacific (3-Pack $10.32 Rated: NRSynopsis: They were teenagers who became more than men, they became Marines. With the world in conflict, they saw, smelled and tasted war on the most intensely personal level. They stood on the rails of darkened troopships and wondered how long they had to live. They saw too many of their best friends die in the most horrible ways possible. MARINES OF THE PACIFIC is the unforgettable tale that Hollywood can’t tell. In this extraordinary 3 DVD set you’ll learn the true story of the boys who answered the call of duty, a call that took them into combat against the toughest opponent in America’s history; the Empire of Japan. Across fire-swept beaches, in trackless jungles, on rugged coral ridges, the marines of World War II kept going. Every battle, every campaign, each freshly dug grave was a marker on the Road to Victory. In MARINES OF THE PACIFIC you will hear the complete story told by the veterans who were there. To them “kill or be killed” was more than empty words, to them it was life and death! |

Pride of the Marines - Fullscreen B&W $24.99 John Garfield stars as Al Schmid, a true-life marine who served in World War II. Schmid becomes a hero at Guadalcanal, defending a machine gun post and killing 200 Japanese before he is permanently blinded by a grenade. Despite being awarded the Navy Cross, Schmid returns home embittered by his disability. After a long and grueling convalescence, he is shaken back to life by his girl friend Ruth (Eleanor Parker) and his best pal (Dane Clark), neither of whom allow Al to wallow in self-pity. The pride in Pride of the Marines comes from Al Schmid's ultimate realization that his sacrifice was worthwhile, and that his sightlessness need not prevent him from leading a full and rewarding life. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |

The Marines of 8th and I $22.58 FROM AMONG THE SHADED ROW HOUSES OF WASHINGTON D.C. rise the weathered brick walls of the United States Marine Corps barracks at 8th and I. For over 200 years the barracks has stood ready to protect the nations capitol and faultlessly maintained its reputation as the ultimate example of military order and discipline. PFC Dayton Stone feels fortunate to be selected for duty at this most prestigious of posts and sees it as an opportunity to understand for himself what it means to be a model marine. He soon learns, however, that the barracks reputation for pomp and perfection is not all it seems. The oppressive regimentation of barracks life, and a system that acts to divide rather than unite the marines who serve there, create conditions where betrayal, drunken recklessness, and violent rivalries #64258;ourish alongside the marines code of duty and honor.

" A MARINES LIFE"
Lessons from the Koh Tao PADI Diving Course: Part 2 – Hazardous Marine Life in the Gulf of Thailand
99% of the time these concerns aren’t based on fact, but more on hearsay, so it’s our job to put the facts straight and alleviate their anxiety. But that’s not to say that there aren’t some marine species that you need to look out for!
So putting the records straight, here’s a review of the hazardous, (and not-so hazardous) marine life you’ll come into proximity with scuba diving Koh Tao, Thailand.
Sharks
Following many generations of Hollywood movies, sharks have developed a pretty fearsome reputation, leaving new divers either intrigued or petrified!
The reality is that scuba diving in Koh Tao, you’ve got to be lucky to see a shark, but when you do it’s a fantastic experience. Bull Sharks at Koh Tao’s Chumphon Pinnacles grow to an impressive size, but when you do spot one, they swim away quickly. There are no known occurrences of them attacking divers in Koh Tao (preferring to eat small fish!).
In the extremely unlikely event that you did encounter a shark which was behaving aggressively, you should remain still and calm, and slowly move away.
Trigger-Fish
Koh Tao’s Titan Trigger-fish on the other hand are a different deal, and are well know to the local diving instructors and PADI Divemasters. The trigger-fish are extremely territorial, and build nests out on the sand, near many of the Koh Tao dive sites. Whilst most of the time, the trigger-fish can be seen peacefully feeding on corals, at other times of year it’s best to keep away from their nesting area as this will only provoke an unwelcome reaction!
Jellyfish
Fortunately Koh Tao diving doesn’t normally involve coming into contact with jellyfish. The most common time to see jellyfish is when you’re sitting at safety stop depth above one of Koh Tao’s deep pinnacle dive sites, with jellyfish drifting past in the current. The best action is to face into the current and keep a look-out – if you do spy a jellyfish drifting towards you, move out of it’s path. If you’re unfortunate enough to receive a sting, once back on the boat treat the sting with vinegar and remove any remaining tentacles using forceps.
Scorpion Fish
Scorpion-fish are masters of camouflage, merging in amongst the corals on most of the Koh Tao dive sites. Normally pretty small, the scorpion-fish is lined with a series of spines as a (self defense mechanism). Generally, scorpion-fish sit very still, so if you control your buoyancy and try not to touch the corals (which you shouldn’t anyway), you won’t have a problem. If you were unlucky enough collide with a scorpion-fish and get your skin punctured by one of those spines, most likely you’d suffer local pain and swelling, which can be relieved by bathing in hot water to denature the venom.
Anemones
Magnificent anemones look spectacular and are abundant on the Koh Tao diving sites. But be careful not to brush against them – contact with bare skin can leave an irritating rash.
Rocks and Corals!
By far the most common cause of injury from diving is due to bad buoyancy control, or putting your hands where you shouldn’t. Most of the corals (and many rocks) are very sharp so grabbing them can result in cuts. It’s important to get these properly cleaned, as there are many bacteria living in the tropical water, which can lead to an unpleasant infection if left untreated.
So that takes care of our commonly encountered hazardous (or not so hazardous) marine life. Check back again soon for part three of our series of lessons from the Koh Tao PADI Open Water course where we’ll look at the buddy system and how to communicate underwater, or for more info, check out the Simple Life Divers website [http://www.simplelifedivers.com].
