  1. Catalina Environmental Leadership Program What we learned

  2. Giant Brown Pelican By: Vasishtand Matt A Giant Brown Pelican is a huge bird. The most amazing fact about the Giant Brown Pelican is that its mouth can hold up to three gallons of water and its stomach can only hold one. So when it swoops down and grabs the fish, it releases the excess water into the ocean. From: CELP

  3. Mia MirzayanandMolly Mittelberg • A brown pelican’s pouch can hold up to 3 gallons of water, when it’s stomach can only hold one. • Source: Catalina Environmental Leadership Program

  4. Kelp Bass Kelp Bass love to eat Two Spotted Octopus. However, one Kelp Bass cannot attack it by itself. When one sees one, it stares at it intently. More come and stare until there are enough. Next, they ambush the Two Spotted Octopus. From: CELP

  5. Norris Top Snail The Norris Top Snail is a very interesting specimen. It loves to eat kelp. So what the Norris Top Snail does is it goes to the bottom of the kelp and slowly but surely eats its way up to the top. When it gets to the top, it drops down and floats to the sea floor and starts over again.

  6. Garibaldi • Baby Garibaldi are bright blue when they are adults the turn orange, so if a baby is going in to an adults territory they know that they are just babies . • Adult Garibaldi • Between Baby and Adult Garibaldi • Sources • http://whozoo.org/Anlife2002/johnengl/JDE_Garibaldi2.htm • http://www.scubaboard.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/19507/title/baby-garibaldi/cat/508 By: Hannah Lam

  7. Garibaldi When a garibaldi is a juvenile, it is electric blue. The blue warns the adults that they are just babies, so the adults don’t get territorial around them. As they grow up to a “teenager”, they become orange with blue spots. Then when they are adults they become fully orange. Source: CELP By: Kanako and Kallie

  8. BY HELIA FOTOOHI FACT: Baby Garibaldi fish are always electric blue,but as they grow, the baby electric blue fish, become bright orange! Then if a baby Garabaldi enters adult territory, they know it’s just a baby. Source: learned at CELP

  9. BY HELIA FOTOOHI MALE FEMALE Fact: All Sheepshead fish are born female, but if have to, they can change to male. Source: learned at CELP

  10. The Sea Cucumber By Marissa Habashy • The Sea Cucumber feeds on dead and decaying substances making them a Detritivore, and they also eat other things such as algae. After they eat, the food in their stomach is separated from the sand in there causing them to let out fresh clean sand that helps the plants underwater.

  13. The ancient Egyptians saw numerous constellations differently than the ancient Greeks, for example Orion was depicted as a pharaoh. In addition, two stars in the belt of the constellation Orion line up with two of the Egyptian Pyramids of Giza, as do the Three Hopi Mesas in Arizona and the Nazca Lines in South America. http://www.dailygrail.com/poll/Are-Giza-Pyramids-laid-out-mimic-stars-Orions-belt http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/piramides/esp_piramide_9.htm

  14. Galaxies Fiona Captan Galaxies! We are only one galaxy in the whole universe! Think about millions of other galaxies out in space maybe even just like our planet earth. Maybe some scientist will discover them (maybe even me!) Sources: CELP

  15. Water sources Any water, salt or freshwater, is precious all around the world. It takes 29,000 gallons of water to make a pair of jeans! We use water to hydrate ourselves, and humans use lots of water for many other purposes. 3% of the water in the world we use, and for millions of things, like cars or chocolate, we also use for drinking purposes so we do use lots of precious water for ourselves alone!

  16. By Katie Lowery Sustainable Living Sustainability is the ability of an ecosystem to function and maintain productivity Source: http://www.benefits-of-recycling.com/livingsustainability/

  17. BY HELIA FOTOOHI FACT: Compost means ‘a mixture of various decaying organic substances, as dead leaves or manure, used for fertilizing soil.’ Source: www.Dictionary.com

  18. Composting • Composting is a way to use resources that we don’t need and save our planet instead of putting it to waste. • Fruits and vegetables that we put into the compost then later becomes nutritious soil for new plants to grow healthy. • Sources • http://pure-green-living.com/how-do-you-compost/ • http://howtocompost.org/ • http://www.deerwood.bc.ca/2012/06/ By: Hannah Lam and Sydney Lau

  19. The sun’s cycle • First, the sun gives energy to plants and other things we eat. Next, humans and animals, eat the food, and we have all the energy we need.

  20. Sustainability Sus•tain•a•bil•i•ty [sus•tain•a•bil•i•tee] Environmental Science: the quality of not being harmful to the environment and/or leaving enough natural resources for future generations In nature, there is no waste, excluding humans (if humans were ever included.) When a bird eats an orange, it also eats the seed. Later, the bird will poop out the seed, along with dung, which will help fertilize the seed to grow into an orange tree. This helps in maintaining sustainability in nature. Humans, however, have plastic cups and Styrofoam packaging that will take millions of years to decompose, and even then it probably will be toxic. Humans need to find a way to tie into what others of nature are doing already, or else all recourses may disappear. Sarah M.

  21. Kanako and Kallie Sustainability Definition : Meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Examples: Land and Sea Ecosystems: Plants and animals have formed adaptations to help them save water so they could live for months of drought. Plants and algae absorb solar energy, turning sunlight into nutrition for themselves and the community. Human Communities Reuse and recycle everyday material; for example: reusable shopping bags, backyard composting, and electronics with recyclable parts. Water conservation; low- flow faucets, taking shorter showers or even having a cistern Eating locally grown food; is fresher and nutritious, also supports local economy, and doesn't need as many fossil fuels to get to you Sources: http://celp.net/about/sustainability/background-sustainability-sub-page/ and http://www.keepbanderabeautiful.org/sustainability.html

  22. Sarah M. and CeCe C. Fact: The native people of Santa Catalina Island, the Pimuvets, had “landfills,” which consisted of abalone shells, whale bones, and dolphin bones. Nowadays, you can find these landfills by looking at the ground. The darker dirt indicates the decomposed shells and bones. Source: CELP
