Human Impact On The Oceans
By Violet Orupabo & Adrian Gonzales
Positive Human Impacts
Artificial Reefs
Artificial reefs are places created on the ocean floor to create habitats for marine life. It creates food sources for animals and homes for marine life that might have been destroyed. On the Gulf Of Mexico there is an artificial reef that was made because on the Gulf of Mexico the reef died out so they made an artificial reef to bring back the marine life.
Fishing Regulations
It prevents us from fishing for too many fish, so the fishes can repopulate and don't become extinct. People are capturing so many fish that the fish don't have time to repopulate. That's killing the ecosystem and making it less food for us.
Conserving Resources
A way to prevent pollution and keep our Earth clean and healthy. If we don't conserve resources the air quality and the waters will be polluted and cause massive damage to Earth. If we make too much trash the watersheds will be polluteed and the animals would die on land and in water.
Negative Human Impacts
Oil Spills
Spills that are created from the shipping boats or oil rigs that goes in the water. It creates proplems for marine life by killing them, land animals, destroying their plants, and destroying shorelines and beaches. The BP in the Gulf of Mexico broke its drill and created massive destruction in 2013 killing thousands of animals and destroying half the Gulf of Mexico.
Overfishing
Its when we people fish to many fish before the can repopulate. If we keep overfish we could get the fish pollasion extent. The fishermen are fishing so many fish that they are going tards the artic to cach fish.
Chemicals used on laws and fields
Its when we use chemicals like fertilizer or land fields to put our trash and it goes in our ground water. it will go into the water shed to pollutes the water. farmers use chemicals for the crops to goes food and it pollutes the watershed.
