Mitis Bay, in the Lower St. Lawrence region, has exceptional ecological characteristics and diverse natural habitats. For example, there is a bed of eelgrass(Zostera marina), an aquatic plant that plays an important role in the marine ecosystems of the St. Lawrence. Eelgrass beds are essential to aquatic and terrestrial fauna, offering them feeding, breeding and nursery habitat and shelter. Without the presence of these eelgrass beds, fine grains of sand are washed away and carried offshore, eroding coastlines. 2, record 1, English, - eelgrass%20bed

La baie de Mitis, située dans le Bas-Saint-Laurent, présente des caractéristiques écologiques exceptionnelles et une diversité d’habitats naturels. On y trouve par exemple un herbier de zostère marine (Zostera marina), une plante aquatique qui joue un rôle important dans les écosystèmes marins du Saint-Laurent. Les zostéraies sont essentielles à la faune aquatique et terrestre, leur servant de garde-manger, de pouponnière, d'incubateur ou d'abri. 1, record 1, French, - herbier%20de%20zost%C3%A8re%20marine

In addition, it was determined that there was a pressure relief line branching off this line between the onshore plant and platform. The pressure relief line was tied to another line coming from another offshore platform. Initially, the pressure relief valve was believed to have been in a closed position, however, more investigation revealed that it was open. 2, record 2, English, - pressure%20relief%20line

The Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis(SMDS) plant now operational at Bintulu, Malaysia, is the latest in a series of partnership projects between Shell companies and the people of Malaysia that stretches back for more than 100 years. The new plant uses advanced technology to convert natural gas, abundantly available from the Central Luconia field offshore Sarawak, into liquid fuels of high purity. These fuels can also be used as components to upgrade lower quality stock derived from conventional crude oil processing. In addition, the plant can produce high-value waxes, as well as feedstocks for detergents and lubricants. The product mix can be varied to meet market needs. The SMDS technology was developed at the Shell laboratory in Amsterdam(KSLA) over a period of 20 years. After commercial and technical assessment, Bintulu was chosen in preference to sites in other parts of the world as an appropriate location for the employment of SMDS technology in the first commercial plant. 2, record 3, English, - Shell%27s%20middle%20distillates%20synthesis%20technology

Costa Rica possesses 90 species of palms. Approximately 34 of these species inhabit the Osa Peninsula, which is located in the southwestern part of the country and consists of the last substantial tracts of pacific side wet forests(Corcovado Natl. Park). It is characterized as a tropical lowland moist forest, receiving around 5000 millimeters of rain annually. Just northwest of the peninsula, about 17 kilometers offshore, is Isla del Caño, a 320 hectare island that possesses a uniquely depauperate plant diversity(Janzen 1983). 1, record 4, English, - depauperate%20plant
