Watersheads & Ocean Ecosystems
By: Yocelyn Ferrufino
littering
littering is an awful thing for our ocean ecosystem and for our ground and surface waters. When people throw things on the ground it eventually ends up in our waters, it soon ends up in the home of all animals in the ocean as well. Many animals get injured or stuck in all of the trash that me place on the floors that soon end up in their homes. To stop the littering and stop us from harming our waters and the sea animals we could always recycle!
Shipping
Shipping have a low impact on the environment. However, problems occur with the oil, dumping of waste water into the ocean and the inevitable air and water pollution happening when modern day engines are used. A positive thing about ships is that we sink them to the bottom of the ocean to create homes for the sea animals.
oil spilling
Oil spilling sometimes result long-term environmental damage. Some of the environmental damage caused by an oil spill can last for decades after the spill occurs. The oil spills cause all the sea animals to die or cause them to move away. using artificial reefs would lead the animals back to their homes and save them from being lost.
pollution
pollution harms the waters badly. since pollution has chemical substances its hard for the animals to live there and it makes the water we drink not be able to be drunk . its bad for us humans as well as the animals. if we stop having so many companies that have pollution then maybe we wouldn't have this problem. we can use filters to clean out the waters.
dead zones
with all of the things that we humans do to the waters and ecosystem in general cause us to have many dead zones. dead zones is a place that has nothing happens or in which no life exists. artificial reefs can lead the animals back to there homes which would help us no longer have dead zones
