Human Impact on the Ocean
- Climate change is causing sea levels to rise and ocean temperatures to increase, leading to the destruction of essential coral reef habitats for many marine species.
- Pollution, including plastic waste, oil spills, and chemical runoff, can harm marine life directly or indirectly by disrupting the food chain.
- Overfishing can lead to the collapse of entire fish populations and have a ripple effect throughout the ecosystem.
- Coastal development can have a negative impact on the ocean by destroying habitats and disrupting the natural flow of water.
