Fishing is harder on the ocean environment then toxic pollution or degraded water quality. As human the only thing we can do if we aren’t going to stop fishing is stop targeting the same fish species to prevent extinction. We need to want to keep the environments balanced and as the primary cause of the decline fish stock in the

Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful. Uses of water include agricultural‚ industrial‚ household‚ recreational and environmental activities. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water. 97% of the water on the Earth is salt water. However‚ only three percent is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.[1] The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater‚ with only a small fraction present

SCI/275 Environmental Science Letters to the Editor (Conservationist) Dear Editor: As is evidenced in recent world news and events‚ taking steps to energy independence is paramount to the continued survival of the United States as a Nation. Growing increasingly dependent on the natural resources in other parts of the world further compounds the possibility for this independence. As a conservationist‚ it is my belief that we as a country can begin to develop the means required to carefully

Water resources should be nationalised If the rivers are Nationalized we can get a massive improvements of Agriculture over complete India and there will be more productivity and consumer will get all goods at very cheaper price and can export too. According to me nationalization of water resources has its own pros and cons. The brighter side promises reduced inter -state conflicts‚ lower exploitation by individual states‚ higher portion of water available to farmers and greater monetary
