Australia has 6 species of marine turtles and they are all protected under the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1975 (Ross 2012, p.3). Hopkins (2011, p. 6) states that marine turtles can live for more than 60 years and are 30 years old or more before they start to breed.

Dugong numbers have declined along the urban coast of Queensland and Dugong Protection Areas and marine national parks have been established to protect them (Dugongs 2006).

Under the sea

What’s wrong with this slide?

Approximately 71% of the earth is found beneath the sea (Moffat et al 2003, p. 140). Clarke (2010) notes that 98% of water on the planet is in the oceans and only 2% of the planet’s water is fresh. Sea water accounts for over 85% of the mass of marine organisms and is the medium in which the chemical reactions that support life in the sea take place (Moffat et al 2003, p. 131).

Hookham (2011, p.4) states that most fish have well developed eyes to detect light penetrating the water. He notes that fish eyes are spherical and they protrude, giving fish good peripheral vision as light can enter the eye from wide angles. Fish can have an almost 360 degree field of view. Fish of the deep sea can detect the intensity of light, with their large pupils and a golden eye pigment that is sensitive to blue light (Jones, 2010, p.20).

The University of Florida reports in its International Shark Attack File that there were 79 shark attacks around the world in 2012, including14 attacks in Australia and 7 fatalities globally (in Holland 2013, p. 8). Burgess (in Holland 2013, p. 8) states that the responsibility is on humans to avoid areas of shark abundance, such as Western Australia at certain times of the year. He notes that more people are going into the water for various activities so attacks will be higher, but over-fishing causes the death of 30 to 70 million sharks every year (in Holland 2013, p. 8).
