the fish species by destroying their homes. Overexploitation is a huge risk‚ and this became very evident when the wolf population in Yellowstone was wiped out. Every wolf was hunted and killed in Yellowstone‚ and once the wolves were gone‚ the ecosystem became very unbalanced and many species started to either die out or be overpopulated. As for methods to help sustain species‚ core reserves and wildlife corridors are very effective methods. Core reserves are natural areas for organisms away from

This process is making the oceans more acidic. Ocean acidification could affect humans.With such decline of fish and shellfish stocks due to ocean acidification will impact an big role in the human source of protein. millions of people could be affected.

Ocean dumping Ocean Dumping The practice of ocean dumping should be banned. Marine pollution is at the heart of interest in today’s search for a clean environment.

Pollution on a grand-scale is wreaking havoc on the Earth. The ocean is not an exception. In 1996‚ a bill‚ which would ban the dumping of dredge spoils in the Long Island Sound‚ was

Did you know that most of the ocean pollution comes from us? This pollution can hurt the ocean animals and it will affect the food that we eat.
