The primary attraction of snorkeling is the opportunity to observe underwater life

in a natural setting, such as coral reefs, fish, starfish, and mollusks Other organisms that can be seen while snorkeling include various forms of seaweed, jellyfish, shrimp and $ea turtles Snorkeling requires no special training, only the ability to swim and to breathe through the snorkel However, it is considered advisable that one get some instruction from a tour guide, dive shop, or equipment rental shop, any of which often can be found around popular snorkeling locations Instruction generally covers equipment usage, basic safety, what to look for, and what to look out for, including how not to damage fragile organisms such as coral As with scuba diving, it is always recommended that one, should not snorkel alone, but rather with a friend, a guide, or a tour group

Swim fins used in snorkeling are usually longer than those used in diving Snorkel is a tube about thirty centimeters (twelve inches) long, usually J-shaped, fitted with a mouthpiece, and constructed of rubber or plastic It is used for breathing air from above the water surface when the mouth and nose are submerged, either when snorkeling or during a surface swim before or after scuba diving The snorkel usually has a piece of rubber that attaches the snorkel to the outside of the strap of the diving mask, as sticking the snorkel in between the strap and the mask could cause the mask

to leak, or risk losing the snorkel should the diver choose to switch to scuba

Typically, the diving mask also serves to prevent breathing through the nose, so that one is forced to breathe through the snorkel This also provides some negative pressure which helps keep the mask sealed against the face, though attempting to breathe out through the nose can break this seal and fog the mask

Plants and animals hold medicinal, agricultural, ecological value Endangered species must be protected and saved so that future generations can experience their presence and value

Plants and animals are responsible for a variety of useful medications In fact, about forty percent of all prescriptions written today are composed from the natural compounds of different species These species not only save lives, but they contribute

to a prospering pharmaceutical industry worth over $40 billion annually Unfortunately, only 5% of known plant species have been screened for their medicinal values, although we continue to lose up to 100 species daily The Pacific yew, a slow-growing tree found in the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest, was historically considered a "trash" tree However, a substance in its bark was recently identified as one of the most promising treatments for ovarian and breast cancer Additionally, more than 3 million American heart disease sufferers would die within

72 hours of a heart attack without digitalis, a drug derived from the purple foxglove There are an estimated 80,000 edible plants in the world Humans depend upon only 20 species of these plants, such as wheat and corn, to provide 90% of the world's food Wild relatives of these common crops contain essential disease-resistant material They also provide humans with the means to develop new crops that can grow in inadequate lands such as in poor soils or drought-stricken areas to help solve the world hunger problem In the 1970s, genetic material from a wild corn species in Mexico was used to stop a leaf fungus that had previously wiped out 15% of the U.S corn crop

Plant and animal species are the foundation of healthy ecosystems Humans depend on ecosystems such as coastal estuaries, prairie grasslands, and ancient forests

to purify their air, clean their water, and supply them with food When species become endangered, it is an indicator that the health of these vital ecosystems is beginning to unravel The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that losing one

plant species can trigger the loss of up to 30 other insect, plant and higher animal

species The northern spotted owl, listed as threatened in 1990, is an indicator of the declining health of the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest These forests are the home to over 100 other old-growth dependent species, which are at risk due to decades of unsustainable forest management practices Pollution off the coast of Florida is killing the coral reefs along the Florida Keys, which serve as habitat for hundreds of species of fish Commercial fish species have begun to decline, causing a threat to the multi-million dollar tourism industry, which depends on the quality of the environment

Consider activities that most take for granted, particularly those who live in industrialized nations: drinking a glass of water; driving a car or traveling by mass transportation; living in a decent house or apartment; using modern household appliances; using tools to build, fix and repair; even breathing fresh air These activities improve our quality of life Have you considered that to do all of the above requires the availability of natural resources, whether used as raw materials or in finished products?

The United Nations predicts that the global population will increase from the present 6.65 billion to 7.95 billion by the year 2025 At the same time, the world is becoming more prosperous The average person is consuming more food, water, energy and metals Multiple millions in nations that were once poor are now moving into the middle class They are driving cars, acquiring household appliances, using electronic gadgets and adopting high-protein diets, similar to Western industrialized nations The subject of natural resources has been in the news for years The media has long reported that the world's supply of oil, minerals, fresh water, and lumber are

in danger of running out Yet very few people take this seriously

Within the next 50 years, the world's population is projected to rise by 40% This growth, coupled with increasing industrialization and urbanization, will result in greater demand for water Water will become much scarcer The United Nations figures suggest that there are around 300 potential conflicts over water all over the world According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about one-sixth of the world's population lacks access to clean water, while 40% are without access to proper sanitation services
