How do humans affect the Estuaries?
What can we do?
Humans can affect the estuaries good and bad. They affect it really bad by throwing trash outside and littering all the time it kills the animals and so the food web gets smaller. They affect it good by using it the right way. We are the ones who depends on them, so we need to keep them clean and stop throwing trash outside and being careless.
