It has been my craving in every aspect of life to do things differently, chart my own path and tread in to uncharted territory. Nine years back, this what made me join a course in bachelor of marine engineering at MERI, the only institute in India exclusively offering such a course. Idea of venturing in to high sees, braving the storms with only handful of resources and almost completely cut off from out side world made adrenaline pumping in to my veins. All this along with opportunity to get exposure
Born in Goa, with its many famous beaches, I grew up along the seaside. As a child I have spent my evenings watching huge marine vessels entering and leaving the port and developed curiosity about the working of huge ships. Because 70 % of the planet is covered with water, sea transport has been the largest carrier of freight throughout recorded human history. A lot remains to be explored about the water bodies in the world; moreover, the rising crunch on land resources will force further exploration
commonly known as ocean logy or marine science. It is a branch of science that studies ocean and tries to understand the processes within it. The researches conducted by oceanographers are used by government and industry. The flora and fauna found in the ocean are used for medical research. These researchers are trying to discover the new supply of foodstuff made from plants and animals in the ocean. There are many branches of oceanography. They include: • Marine Physics: It studies the physical

Fisheries & Aquaculture During the last six decades, the sector has been strengthened with the much needed technical manpower and competent extension personnel with effective transfer of technology. Research and Development have helped the sector in addressing productive issues level
Sylvia Alice Earle is an American marine biologist, explorer, author, and lecturer. She has began a legacy of marine biography and became the leading woman of oceanography, called "Her Deepness" by the New Yorker and the New York Times, "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress, and first "Hero for the Planet" by Time magazine. Beginning with her associates from St. Petersburg Jr. College, bachelors in science from FSU and masters in Phycology at Duke, Earle began her world-changing ways throughout
Environmental engineering should be seen as a holistic sustainable process to engineering. Factors that include social aspects, cultural aspects and economical should not be separated from the environment (What is holistic sustainability 2010). His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum stated that: “The United Arab Emirates is not merely a financial or economic centre, nor is it only a tourist destination between East and West, but an important humanitarian centre on the international stage”
sheer size and mass. This amazing fact took me by surprise and inspired me to choose Mechanical Engineering at the Bachelor’s level, which has steered me in the right direction and yet again increased my fascination towards machines and convinced me in taking a decision to pursue higher studies in Mechanical Engineering. I was nurtured on the right lines in my Under-graduation in Mechanical Engineering through interactive lectures supplemented by adequate practical exposure. Ranking within the top
for our Oceans and Sea Life by biologicaldiversity.org states that, “Plastics pollution has a direct and deadly effect on wildlife. Thousands of seabirds and sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed each year after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it.” The plastic is invading thousands of marine animals’ homes and the effects are huge. The article continues and says that endangered animals such as the Pacific Loggerhead turtle and the Hawaiian monk seal are especially susceptible
Born in a family of Engineers I inculcated profound enthusiasm to Engineering and practical experimentation with dreams of futuristic ideas. During the childhood days, when my father helped me construct complex mechanical models, my affinity to the machinery related field germinated from observation and association. As I started implementing them, I simply got imbibed into the whirlpool of engineering and this formed the core inspiration to my career. My academic career started in Bharatiya Vidya
five years old I wanted to be a fireman but switched to marines when I was ten. Prior to turning thirteen I did not want to be someone who uses ‘math’ all day and sits at a desk all day. In 2010 I joined a FLL team at Troy Christian Junior High School. I did not want to do this at first but after consistent encouragement from my father and mother, my father has a master’s degree and my mother has a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, I participated in all of the team functions. While on the
Have you ever thought genetically modified foods are better or bad for you? People say it is unhealthy, contaminate forever, increase herbicide use genetic engineering creates dangerous side effects, government oversight is dangerously lax, the biotech industry uses “tobacco science” to claim product safety, independent research and reporting is attacked and suppressed, genetically modified foods harm the environment, genetically modified foods do not increase yields, and work against feeding a
At the beginning, many Americans opposed the idea of women serving in non-nursing jobs. However, after the tragedy that struck Pearl Harbor, Congress allowed women to serve within the U.S. Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Marines for the remainder of the war and six months after. Before I had joined, women were thought of to be too weak to do any physically demanding work. Luckily, the first recruits proved themselves to be just as capable, which led the Army to enlist 1.5 million women. Women’s participation
to come so far in venturing out to sea and to the world below the surface. However, in the past 10 years this has all been changed. With research being done throughout the world studying the movement and anatomy of fish, the gap between the surface and the sea floor could be speedily lessening. For years humans have marveled at the speed and grace of most marine life. The lack of drag, the force propulsion, and the ability to live at such impossible depths have been forever the envy of submarines

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 RESEARCH BACKGROUND Marine insurance plays an important role in risk management service by providing individual protection against the risk of losses from the various perils. Besides, marine insurance is essential in the field of overseas and internal trade of a country. If there is no cover or protection by marine insurance the entire trade structure may bind to suffer. There are two types of marine insurance protection which are hull insurance and cargo insurance.

Three months after the oil spill it was observed that the
like to attend a school with a good chemistry and engineering program. The three universities I am considering are MIT. Caltech, Duke. They have some of the best chemistry, engineering programs in the US and around the world. All of these colleges are very selective and require high grades in math and science as well as interesting extracurricular activities. My first choice was MIT because all around were awarded the best chemistry and engineering school all around and ranked number one in the US
The process of having to find a college or a university to attend is a huge challenge, and a stressful process. Even though I don’t have to worry about getting into a University for another four more years, I stress of the thought every day. Will I have a high enough GPA? What about my SAT scores? Do my parents even have money saved away for me and tuition? What do I want to do with my life? Thoughts like these run through my mind and stress me out all the time it seems, but I’m learning how to
The richest man in the world, in his time, was Andrew Carnegie. His story of success was truly one of rags to riches. After coming to the U.S. from Scotland as part of a working-class family, he moved from job to job, eventually becoming more influential and gaining a large sum of money. Soon he was using his wealth to contribute to many public services, such as libraries and schools. Andrew Carnegie's life and actions have left a long-standing legacy and have contributed greatly to the American
