Food Web Singleton 2 While our ecosystem does exist, without dramatic changes, we can speak of the objects without contradicting anything in it. The existence of the ecosystem is contingent on human society, it is very important that we acknowledge that. The people that play one of the most important roles are the environmental scientists. They describe the ecosystem and in the correct management of the ecosystem, but we miss the importance of the human role in the environment if we discretely see the objects of the ecosystem as independent of the human society. Just a few years ago we had an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that was caused by BP Oil Company. This impacted the whole gulf coast not just the animals. They had to pay almost 8 billion dollars to businesses and families. The spill caused major damage to marine, wildlife habitats, and to the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries. Being from Louisiana I seen firsthand the effect the spill had on the gulf coast. Seafood is one of the biggest markets we have in Louisiana and we could not eat, buy, or sell anything out of the gulf. Skimmer ships, floating containment booms, anchored barriers, sand-filled barricades along shorelines, and dispersants were used in an attempt to protect hundreds of miles of beaches, wetlands, and estuaries from the spreading oil. Scientists also reported immense underwater plumes of dissolved oil not visible at the surface as well as a "kill zone" surrounding the blown well. Culling, selective killing is one solution to control the number of animals. The way that this is done, the game warden will
