All About Science
Some invasive species that are in the ocean are:
- Green Crab
- Killer Algae
- Sea Walnut
- Zebra Mussel
Some resources that are found in the deep sea include: salt, sand, gravel, manganese, copper, nickel, iron, cobalt, and crude oil.
Humans impact the ocean by fishing, coastal development, and pollution. Pollution includes oil, or other wastes, and trash. Humans also impact the ocean in many other ways.
Some things that can be done to protect the ocean are to reduce energy consumption, user fewer plastic products, take care of the beaches, and don't fish unless you plan to let the captured fish go.
