This leads to blocking of light, smothering of the coral mucus surface and increased risk of disease. Sedimentation rate on a reef is highly important variable in studies of coral reef. The level of suspended sediment in marine environment is increasing due to development of coastal area and also recreational activities in the coral reef. Research on sedimentation rate is often done by deployment of sediment traps, containers positioned vertically with an open top and capped base. These remain submerge for a period of time before they are removed and the sediment collected in the containers dried and weighted as a quantifiable measurement of sedimentation on the reef.</span></span></p></b></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; display: inline !important; "><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height:150%;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-hansi-mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latinfont-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></p></b></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; display: inline !important; "><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height:150%;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-hansi-mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latinfont-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">May Allah give me strength to make it a successful one..</span></span></p></b></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; display: inline !important; "><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height:150%;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-hansi-mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latinfont-family:Calibri;font-size:12.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></p></b></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>tuskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03716750401981248569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830829190892653373.post-17708661634617161052010-04-22T14:01:00.004+08:002010-04-22T14:16:19.656+08:00little bit info about Department of Marine Park Malaysia<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wsew2xdKiLc/S8_pqjUxtdI/AAAAAAAAAqo/KJYC_ENh4wA/s1600/marine-park.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 271px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wsew2xdKiLc/S8_pqjUxtdI/AAAAAAAAAqo/KJYC_ENh4wA/s400/marine-park.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462841790269863378" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style=" line-height:115%;font-size:12.0pt;">The department of Marine Park Malaysia, of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE) was officially established on 16<sup>th</sup> July 2007.

They are characterized by a transverse flagellum that encircles the body (often in a groove known as the cingulum) and a longitudinal flagellum oriented perpendicular to the transverse flagellum. This imparts a distinctive spiral to their swimming motion. Both flagella are inserted at the same point in the cell wall, by convention defining the ventral surface. This point is usually slightly depressed, and is termed the sulcus. In heterotrophic dinoflagellates (ones that eat other organisms), this is the point where a conical feeding structure, the peduncle, is projected in order to consume food.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Dinoflagellates possess a unique nuclear structure at some stage of their life cycle - a dinokaryotic nucleus (as opposed to eukaryotic or prokaryotic), in which the chromosomes are perminently condensed. The cell wall of many dinoflagellates is divided into plates of cellulose ("armor") within amphiesmal vesicles, known as a theca. These plates form a distinctive geometry/topology known as tabulation, which is the main means for classification.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Both heterotrophic (eat other organisms) and autotrophic (photosynthetic) dinoflagellates are known. Some are both. They form a significant part of primary planktonic production in both oceans and lakes. Most dinoflagellates go through moderately complex life cycles involving several steps, both sexual and asexual, motile and non-motile. Some species form cysts composed of sporopollenin (an organic polymer), and preserve as fossils. Often the tabulation of the cell wall is somehow expressed in the shape and/or ornamentation of the cyst.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Why bother?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"> Besides being important primary producers, and therefore an important part of the food chain, dinoflagellates are also known for producing nasty toxins, particularly when they occur in large numbers, called "<b>red tides</b>" because the cells are so abundant they make the water change colour. Besides being bad for a large range of marine life, red tides can also introduce non-fatal or fatal amounts of toxins into animals (particularly shellfish) that may be eaten by humans, who are also affected by the toxins. Many of these toxins are quite potent, and if not fatal, can still cause neurological and all sorts of other nasty effects. Add this to the rather ominous suspicion that red tides may be more common thanks to human inputs of phosphates and warmer global temperatures, and you can probably see why we have a vested interest in finding out more about them - both medical and economic.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">source: <a href="http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/%7Emacrae/palynology/dinoflagellates/dinoflagellates.html">http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/~macrae/palynology/dinoflagellates/dinoflagellates.html</a><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>tuskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03716750401981248569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830829190892653373.post-65240138883727995042010-01-25T18:17:00.003+08:002010-01-25T18:32:28.413+08:00Lab session in UKM<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wsew2xdKiLc/S11wMgkYY3I/AAAAAAAAAkA/bHdjMiJtx7k/s1600-h/DSCN3440.JPG"><img style="display: block;

It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries.</div><br /><p align="justify">Many people associate careers in oceanography as consisting of swimming with marine animals at a marine life park or snorkeling in crystal-clear tropical waters studying coral reefs. In reality, these kinds of jobs are extremely rare and there is intense competition for the few jobs that do exist. Most oceanographers work in fields that use science to solve a particular problem in the ocean. Some examples include: </p>What is the role of the ocean in limiting climate change?<br />What kinds of pharmaceuticals can be found naturally in marine organisms?<br />How does sea-floor spreading relate to the movement of tectonic plates?<br />What economic deposits are there on the sea floor?<br />Can rogue waves be predicted?<br />What is the role of longshore transport in the distribution of sand on the beach?<br />How does a particular pollutant affect organisms in the marine environment?<br /><br />Job Duties of Oceanographers<br /><ul><li>Geological oceanographers and geophysicists </li><li>Physical oceanographers </li><li>Chemical oceanographers and marine geochemists</li><li>Biological oceanographers, marine biologists, and fisheries scientists </li><li>Marine and ocean engineers</li><li>Marine archaeologists<br /></li></ul><p align="center"><em>"Blup2 Conservation: Towards Better Ocean for Tomorrow"</em></p><p></p>tuskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03716750401981248569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830829190892653373.post-24827519385212578492009-12-09T15:47:00.002+08:002009-12-09T15:54:20.955+08:00no class lah this week..:-)as usual, there'll be no classes in the first week<br />it's a boring fact...<br /><br />this semester, i begin my years as 'org laut' with 4 core subject:<br /><ul><li>Marine Pollution</li><li>Marine Microbiology</li><li>Marine biological Diversity</li><li>Marine Oceanography</li></ul><p>my seniors told me that this semester will be a busy one.</p><p>cool..:-)</p><p align="center"><em>"Blup2 Conservation: Towards Better Ocean for Tomorrow"</em></p><blockquote><br /> </blockquote><blockquote></blockquote>tuskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03716750401981248569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830829190892653373.post-1722969052913046072009-12-08T11:39:00.005+08:002009-12-08T12:12:09.000+08:00Coral bleaching<strong>What?</strong><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>"Coral bleaching is the whitening of </em></span><a title="Coral" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>corals</em></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><em>, due to stress-induced expulsion or death of symbiotic </em></span><a class="mw-redirect" title="Unicellular" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicellular"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>unicellular</em></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><em> </em></span><a title="Algae" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>algae</em></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><em> or due to the loss of pigmentation within the algae</em></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_bleaching#cite_note-0"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>[1]</em></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><em>.
