New Orleans is nested between the mouth of the Mississippi River and the brackish estuary of Lake Pontchartrain.. 3. A series of floodwalls, or levees, protects the city from ocean surges from large storms.. Chapter 3 (Miller and . Spoolman. , 2010). Core Case Study: Tropical Rain Forests Are Disappearing.

Key Message #1. 9. Ch. 9 | Oceans and Marine Resources. The Nation’s valuable ocean ecosystems are being disrupted by increasing global temperatures through the loss of iconic and highly valued habitats and changes in species composition and food web structure. Ecosystem disruption will intensify as ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation, and other aspects of climate change increase. In the absence of significant reductions in carbon emissions, transformative impacts on ocean ecosystems cannot be avoided.. Getting started. You’ll need a notepad on which to make notes as you go along, or you could make notes, paste images, etc. on your device.. You can view these slides:. as a slide-show for any animations and to follow links.
