A Look at the Sperm Whale

With Miami being so close to the Atlantic Ocean residents and locals are treated to the option to see a variety of magnificent marine life.  One of these incredible creatures is the sperm whale.  The sperm whale is not only the largest of the toothed whales, but they are also the largest toothed predator in the water.  Surprisingly while a mature male may average at 52 feet in length, they can get as big as 67 feet with their head accounting for one-third of the length, this animal is not only breathtaking beautiful but also rather impressive.

Even though the mammal is the largest whale and predator, they are only the second deepest diving animal, following the Cuvier’s beaked whale; the creature is able to dive 7,382 feet to seek its prey, primarily squid.  Found anywhere in the open ocean, the females live in groups cooperating together to protect and nurse the younger males, while the older males are loaners and live by themselves until mating season.  The mature sperm whale naturally has few predators, but the calves and weakened adults can fall prey to pods of orcas.

Look at Miami Dolphins Preseason

With football season just around the corner, the Miami Dolphins are using the preseason games, to work on their offense and defense and shoring up some of their plays.  Starting quarterback, Ryan Tannehill seems to be the breakout star this year.  Completing six of seven passes for 56 yards and a touchdown pass to receiver Jarvis Landry, the new quarterback had a nearly perfect impressive run against the Chicago Bears last week.  Proving many sports enthusiasts correct, Tannehill is substantiating their claims of him being the next big thing.

Saturday is the second preseason game, against the Carolina Panthers, and with plans for Tannehill and the first team offense to have more time on the field, the teammates are guaranteed to build much needed chemistry with each other.

Bouncing back from last season, the Dolphins have emphasized the importance of improving “chunk” plays on offense during this year’s training camp and offseason program.  Additionally, the team continues to work on the starting offense receiving fewer penalties.  Unfortunately, during last week’s game, there were two holding calls by offensive lineman Billy Turner and Jason Fox, nearly stalling the Dolphins’ opening drive; luckily, they were able to bounce back rather quickly.  Sports critics and fans alike are hoping that the team continues their stellar performance well into the new football season.

Fun Activities to Do With Kids Before They Go Back to School

Even though the summer season is almost over, there is still time to have fun with the kids.  Living in Miami there are hundreds of fun family friendly activities available.  Below are some ideas on how to make these last few days of the summer a memorable experience.

Outdoor Activities: Since the weather is beautiful in Miami Beach, organizing an outdoor gathering would be a great option.  Arrange a picnic with the family where everyone provides an item, or have a campout in the backyard, no matter the choice, the possibilities are endless.

Do Something Charitable: Summertime is a great opportunity to do family volunteer work.  Hosting a lemonade stand and/or bake sale is a great way to raise money for charity and to have quality family time.

Do Something Silly: Once the kids are back in school, there will not be much opportunity for them to act silly.  Planning something as simple as a shaving cream fight or water balloon battle royale is a wonderful way to help them start the school year with a grin and a giggle.

A Brief History of Artificial Reefs

Florida is the home to a variety of artificial reefs, a man-made underwater structure, many of which were created from ships that were sunk deliberately.  A few of the vessels include, Coast Guard cutters Duane and Bibb, the U.S. Navy landing ship Spiegel Grove, USS Oriskany, and the USNS Hoy S. Vandenberg, a former WWII era troop transport.

Usually, these unique structures are designed to encourage maritime life in sections with featureless bottoms.  Additionally these reefs are used to control erosion, block ships from crossing illegal areas, and to even improve surfing.  Sometimes these projects do not always go as planned.  For instance, in the 1970s, more than 200,000 used tires were dumped off the coast of Fort Lauderdale in order to create an Osborne reef.  However, the tires were not secured properly, causing the strong currents to break the tires loose, thus sending them crashing into the reef and the other marine life around.  In 2009, after 10 years, the project failed when around 100,000 of the tires were removed from the ocean floor.

The Wonderful World of Coral

One of the great things about living in Miami is being constantly surrounded by water, which allows for a lot more fun and entertainment.  Aside from the wonderful Miami Beach deep sea fishing, locals, and tourists can also participate in adventure packed scuba diving.  The awesome thing about scuba diving is all of the beautiful fish, gorgeous reefs, and magnificent coral that can be seen.

Corals are marine invertebrates that usually live in compact colonies of identical individual polyps.  A polyp is an animal that is sac like and only a few millimeters in diameter and a few centimeters in length.  Since the animal is asexual, it begins as a single polyp, which then buds to produce another and so forth.  A few different types of coral exist, two of the most known are “stony coral,” which is created when the polyps produce a hard shell, and “soft coral,” created when there is no skeleton produced.  Corals receive their vibrant colors via the Zooxanthellae, a photosynthetic alga that lives inside their tissues.  When coral has a white or bleached color, it is because they are losing the algae.

Football Season is Coming

In honor of the upcoming football season, the associates at The THERAPY-IV, a Miami Beach deep sea fishing charter boat service and big fans of the Dolphins, presents an in depth profile of the Miami Dolphins.

Attorney and politician Joe Robbie and actor/comedian Danny Thomas founded the Miami Dolphins, a professional American football team.  The Dolphins, formed in response to the Miami Seahawks departure in 1946, is one of the oldest NFL franchises in the Deep South.  Officially joining the NFL in 1970, the inspiring team was led by Don Shula, for much of their early history.

Despite losing their first Super Bowl game, Super Bowl VI, to the Dallas Cowboys, the Dolphins were able to make an incredible come back in 1972, by completing the NFL’s only perfect season, including winning the Super Bowl VII.  By winning Super Bowl VII, they were able to become the first team to appear in three consecutive Super Bowls, and the second team to win back-to-back championships.

Arguably, one of the most prolific members of the Miami Dolphins is Dan Marino.  From 1983 – 1999 he became one of the most high profile passers in NFL history.  Breaking numerous league passing records, leading the Dolphins to 5 division titles, 10 playoff appearances, and a Super Bowl XIX win guaranteed his place in NFL history.
