Danger

Is there a danger to yourself, others or casualty?

If safe, remove danger or remove casualty from danger.

Response

COWS: Can you hear me? Open your eyes. What is your name? Squeeze my hands.

Call the ambulance if there is no response.

Airway

Use pistol grip and check mouth for any foreign material. If so, place in recovery position.

Lift up knee and place arm at right angles out from the body. Roll them over using their shoulderand buttock. Clear the airway.

Breathing

While still in the recovery position, put ear to their mouth and listen for breathing for ten seconds.

For infants, lay face down on arm and clean out mouth with little finger.

CPR

Tilt head, lift chin and give two breaths and thirty compressions to the lower half of thechestbone. For infants, use two fingers.

Defibrillation

Follow voice instructions.

Marine Studies Study Sheet

Three tests (Not including Radio)

- First Aid (One sling, DR. ABCD with a

partner) (Plus 20 Multiple choice)

- Splicing (Either an eye or back splice)

- Pollution and Management ( Lookingat water testing results and pollution

to judge what the cause and effect

is. Meant to learn this through our

assignment research Im guessing)

Test is on Friday

1.05 3.05

And you need to book in for the

first aid practical/Splicing test

The Biochemical Oxygen Demand (or BOD) is a measure of the amount of food for bacteria

that is found in water. This is the test we had to leave in the cupboard for a week. Bacteriautilize organic matter in their respiration and remove oxygen from the water. The BOD test

provides a rough idea of how much biodegradable waste is present in the water.(Biodegradable waste is usually composed of organic wastes, including leaves, grass

clippings, and manure. So if the water has a high BOD, it is susceptible to eutrophication andPOLLUTION ARGH.

Temperature isvery important because it affects the amount of dissolved oxy

en in the water.

The hotter the water, the less dissolved oxy

en and vice versa. FS

DIIIIEEEEEE.

Dissolved oxy

en is at its highest at the surface of the water, in cold conditions and in fresh

water. If there is low dissolved oxygen, fish can drown. YES THATS RIGHT FISH CAN DROWN.

Faecal Coliform is form of bacteria found in human and animal waste. It is bad because it

carries nutrients that can feed bacteria and encourage eutrophication. KILLING FISH.

Phosphates and Nitrates also are nutrients found in fertilisers that can contribute toeutrophication. WHICH KILLS FISH.

Turbidity is a measure of how clear the water is. This is important because if the water is too

cloudy plants living on the bottom cannot photosynthesise. Thiscan destroy a food chain and

KILL FISH.

Seagrass

Main Impacts Weather andsediments from Mary River, and

pollution (esp. from the Marina.)

Why it is important: Supports local

fisheries, main food source for dugong

and sea turtles.

How we can help: Dont pollute the

marina, and dont dump fertilisers and

pesticides. Make a poster.

Dugong

Main Impacts: Seagrass die off, boatstrike and rape bysex hungry pirates.

Why it is important: Part of the food

chain.

How we can help: Dont pollute and

slow down in seagrass areas to watch

out for dugong. You could also make a

poster ifyou want.

Turtles

Main Impacts: Light pollution when

nesting, litter, boat strike, feral

predators and crab pots.

Why it is important: Local attraction

and part of the environment. Also a

threatened species.

How we can help: Dont dump litter

and slow down in seagrass areas to

avoid boat strike. Use turtle friendly

crab pots and dont pollute. Maybe

Mangroves

Main Impacts: Old rubbish dump at

Eli creek, clearing and pollution.

Why it is important: Supports the

fisheries and is a fish breeding site.

How we can help: Dont pollute, and

maybe,just maybe ifyou feel up to it

make a poster.
