Effects of pollution of salmon

Facts

*Sock-eye salmon are the most sensitive to low p.h waters

*18 miles of river was lost/deemed dead because of the acid waters

*The current Alaska water quality standard requires a pH between 6.5 and 8.5

*pH less than 4.5: All salmon and other fish species will die or be displaced from a water body.

*An acceptable alkalinity level for salmon culture is in the 40 to 100 ppm range

*pH levels of 7.0 to 8.0 are considered optimal to maintain a productive ecosystem

*If pH falls below the tolerance range even for a short period, death can occur

*when having acidy waters prey species for salmon drop significantly.

Is This Fair?

One of the rules at this school is that all shirts must have sleeves. That rule is completely pointless and dumb. I mean like if you wear tank tops its not like a guy/girl is going to be like "Dang look at that arm!" Like that's just dumb. That rule should be removed forever. Tank tops are shirts just like short sleeves and long sleeves. Tank tops are just have less covering on your arms and all your showing is your arms.

I would go to Maui, Hawaii.

 I would go to Maui, Hawaii because it would be a nice and hot and it would be a good experience to go see Maui. I would go swimming, snorkeling, and surfing. I would like to see under the sea to see all kinda of fish, jelly fish.

Also go and explore the forest. I wouldn't really change anything about the place because Maui is original and i would like it to stay that way. i think if you change something about it people wouldn't really like you for what you have done.
