Abstract
This paper discusses the book, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", by Jules Verne. The paper introduces the book's narrator, a Frenchman named Professor Aronnax, his Belgian assistant, Conseil and Ned Land, a Canadian sailor. The paper describes how Verne represents in these personas, three different segments of French-speaking Europe the Parisian intellectual, the smaller and helpful Belgian servant and the outdoorsy Canadian. The antagonist of the story, Captain Nemo, is examined in detail.

From the Paper
"The story begins when Professor Aronnax agrees to investigate a series of attacks by a mysterious sea monster. After joining the crew of the ship Abraham Lincoln and Ned Land, the men encounter what they first believe is the monster, but turns out to be a large, state-of-the-art submarine, the Nautilus. But in a way, they have encountered a monster, because Captain Nemo has become so cruel, embittered, and mad from his time away from humanity, that it is almost as though he is like the monsters he observes and is tracking himself."

Abstract
In this analysis of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne, the writer of this paper takes the reader on an exploratory journey of the story itself and then works to compare the culture of the people on the submarine to actual cultures. The writer concludes with a discussion about the comparison.

From the Paper
"Many times in literature the author will use the story to portray or convey some truth in fiction about the culture he is writing about. This was the case with Jules Verne s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. In this book the author takes painstaking efforts to convey many details with extreme accuracy relating to the culture of life at sea and the findings that occur. Other aspects of the culture are not as easily defined because of the various nations that the shipmates come from. However, the culture of sea life is a culture that crosses all barriers and Verne does an excellent job of painting a mental picture for the reader about the culture that his characters lived in the story and would have lived had they been real."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in "The Old Man and the Sea", Hemingway uses symbolism: The sea itself, the birds and the fish, which the protagonist Santiago finally catches. The author points out that the birds, which are Santiago's friends, dive and plunge for the fish thus showing him where the fish are. The paper relates that the old fisherman's frustration turns to elation when the "big fish" finally does bite, next begins the symbolic and real struggle between the old man and the sea and, finally, Santiago has his long-sought gift from the sea, the fish, his prize for respectfully honoring the sea and for all his endurance of her fickle and unpredictable nature.

From the Paper
"On the other hand, Santiago seems to identify closely with the birds he sees on the ocean, who appear small and powerless, like himself, except for the "robber birds" (29) which are perhaps equivalent to some of the other, more aggressive fishermen, who also lack Santiago's abiding reverence for the sea itself. He was "sorry for the birds, especially the small delicate dark terns that were always flying and looking and almost never finding . . . the birds have a harder life than we do except for the robber birds and the heavy strong ones" (29). Some of the younger fishermen behave much like the "robber birds", stealing irreverently from the sea, and thinking of the sea as a competitor rather than as a woman to love, as Santiago himself does."

Abstract
An overview of the debate whether the Hebrews crossed the Red Sea or the Reed Sea.

From the Paper
"The following presents the debate over whether the Hebrews crossed the Red Sea or the Reed Sea. The two views are explained and supported with evidence. In the Bible, the tale of "The Exodus" includes the use of the phrase 'yam suph' to refer to the body of water that the Isralites crossed after leaving Egypt. Whether this term translates into Red Sea or Sea of Reeds or Seaweed remains unclear. Some think the Isralites journey included the Gulf of Suez which branches up from..."

From the Paper
"The Netherlands are preparing to face a future behind a massive seawall, but the additional $10 billion to $25 billion in flood and sea defenses over the next century will have a tremendous effect on the economy of that country. The farmlands are depending on dikes and floodgates to protect them and an atmosphere of stress pervades the land. In 1953 a storm surge drowned 2,000 people, a 1955 flood forced 200,000 people and many more animals from the inundated lands. Heavy rains threaten to drown the countryside if huge pumping stations do not lift flood water over the seawalls. Today, Holland seems to be giving in to the sea. Tourist trade is dwindling, and plans to allow the Meuse and Rhine rivers to drain into the land will let more marshlands and forests to take over what is now farmland, commercial parks and towns."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in comparing Great Britain's use of sea power during the Napoleonic Wars and the Great War a century later, a number of significant similarities and important differences is evident. The author points out that the similarities between the British Admiralty's projection of sea power in the early nineteenth-century and its projection of sea power in the early twentieth-century were primarily due to the unchanging nature of the fundamental principles of maritime strategy. The paper relates that the differences were due primarily to the development of new naval technology and weaponry, which presented Kaiser Wilhelm II with the opportunity to defeat Great Britain at sea despite the immense power of Sir John Jellicoe's Grand Fleet.

Abstract
This paper describes seven types of names within four subclasses of edible sea creatures. The classes are fish, shellfish, cephalopods, and cartilaginous. The paper further describes the ongoing work of marine scientists and biologists who have researched and gathered a myriad of sea creature information to put together subclass groups.

From the Paper
"For years, marine scientists and biologists have researched and gathered a myriad of sea creature information to put together subclass groups. In this paper, I have researched seven types of names within four subclasses. The classes are fish, shellfish, cephalopods, and cartilaginous. Within each class shows seven types of edible sea creatures. First, the fish category includes catfish, salmon, halibut, tilapia, sole, herring, and cod. Second, shellfish category includes mussels, oysters, whelk, scallops, shrimp, clams, and crab. Third, cephalopods category include octopus, squid, cuttlefish, nautilus, snails, winkle and slugs."

Abstract
This paper discusses Mahan's approach to war at sea, including commerce raiding (guerre de course) and actions to defeat the enemy fleet.

From the Paper
"War at sea can be fought using either sea power per Mahan or guerrede course -commerce raiding. Sea power in Mahan's terms referred to the power of the navy and maritime economic power. Mahan felt that control of the seas and maritime commerce were vital for a nation's war effort arguing that the use of large concentrated battle fleets was a tactic for wresting control of the seas and closing the enemy out of it. Sea denial or commerce-destroying was a..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the inter-American convention for the protection and conservation of sea turtles. The paper begins by looking at the parlous status of the sea turtle in recent years and focusing upon its situation in the United States and along parts of South America. The paper also reviews the IAC treaty which came into force in 2001 and which has been both praised and denounced by observers.

From the Paper
"The conservation of living species is integral to humanity's own long-term vitality. That being said, the recent Inter-American Convention for the Protection and Conservation of Sea Turtles is, despite some strong points, an ultimately redundant and inefficient treaty that has not - and will not - change the parlous status of Sea Turtles in any appreciable way. The following paper will explain why this is so by first examining the recent history of the languishing Sea Turtle species. From there, the paper will closely review the offending treaty and offer an assessment of why it has not worked - and will not work - for Sea Turtles. Finally, the paper will offer some recommendations for making the treaty more efficacious as well as other measures must be taken if disaster is to be averted. "
