Near+Shore+Zone+Conservation

Conservation Humans today have a large effect on the near shore zone. They have both a good and a bad effect. Some thing good that they do is when the coast is eroding on a island and will eventually turn into just plain open ocean. They will pull sand from the bottom of the ocean and place it on the shore. They also have a bad effect they leave trash all over the beach and the animals eat it and die.



We have polluted the Near Shore Zone by boating for recreation .when people boat for recreational purposes sometimes fuel leaks out and trash ends up in the Near Shore. The trash can cause threats for the aquatic life as well as humans. When fuel leaks into the ocean it causes problems with the water quality. We can stop this by not throwing trash overboard and being more careful with the trash. Also finding other fuels.

We have polluted the Near Shore by metals and toxic organic chemicals that are runoffs from strip mines, streets, and other places. Pesticides and farming or things for the yard could also end up in the Near Shore harming species. These chemicals can severally harm the Near Shore area, by killing fish such as shellfish, fish, and other species that use this environment. This can cause problems for humans too, it can get its way into drinking water and posing as long-term concerns for us. To solve the problem as people we should not use pesticides and other things like that. To stop pollution of chemicals we should be careful with things and clean up after our self.
