The scientific name for the Green Sea Turtle is Chelonia mynas.They are not too big and have green/yellow shells and spotted bodies. In 2010, there were 13,225 recorded in the Florida area. They share a similar life span with humans, living to be around 80-100 years old. They can grow to be 5 feet long and between 500 and 700 pounds. Another fun fact it that a group of turtles is called a Bale. And unlike a few turtles, Green turtles cannot pull their head and limbs into their shell. They usually eat a wide variety of plants and critters. The Green Sea Turtle is generally found in shallow water in bays and reefs. Commercial harvest for eggs and meat has contributed to the worldwide decline of the species. Another contribution is the wearing down of their nests and habitats. The North Florida Ecological Services office is trying to get people to help the turtles by advising them in ways to help. One way to help is to turn off lights of close blinds in beachfront homes at night for the sea turtles' nesting process. The Endangered Species Act helps the Green Sea Turtles because it asks people to protect the habitats of the endangered animals in Florida.

Description: The Squirrel Monkey is a small skinny monkey who has a dark patch of hair on the top of his head and a light brown coat. They do not necessarily make good pets because they require a lot of care and attention.
Native Range: They are original from South America. Specifically Panama and Costa Rica
Arrival in Florida:  Some were released as tourist attractions. And many of these monkeys were also released when zoos and tourist attraction were closed.
Impact: The monkeys eat crops from farms and fields. This not only impacts the agriculture, but the pesticides also kill the monkeys.

An ecological footprint is the physical way you impact your environment and the world. The effect is compared to a footprint because a footprint is a mark that you leave where you go. Personally, my biggest area of consumption is services and then transportation. To minimize my footprint, I try to eat locally grown food, I try to walk more, and conserve energy and water. My footprint increases overtime I drive to school, leave my chords plugged in, and leave the lights on in my house. According to the ecological footprint quiz, it would take 5.9 planets to accommodate my lifestyle. Humans have left a huge footprint because of the way we live. Some examples are pollution and industry. I think that Americans have larger footprints because of the amount of industry and services in the US.

After taking the quizzes, I found that my views fall under the category of Stewardship. Stewardship basically means that you acknowledge the issues in the environment and your preach to others about helping the environment, but you yourself do not go out of your way to change things. Of course I try to help when I can, but I don't drop everything because of the environment.
Quote: A leader must be a good listener. He must be willing to take counsel. He must show a genuine concern and love for those under his stewardship.
- James E. Faust

This map is of the Everglades National Park, home to alligators, egrets, and types of turtles. On the trip we learned about the animals and the plants in the area. We learned that the Great Egret is the most dangerous animal there, and that the brown algae on the surface of the water is the beginning of the food web there.

On the second day, we were snorkeling in the Rainbow River. Here, I am in the water with my friend Callan. This was an amazing experience because we got to see marine wildlife in its own habitat.
