Human impact on the Continental shelf
We humans throughout history have always affected the ocean. We use the ocean as
food but also as waste dumps. Now not only do the activities we do on the ocean
affect the ocean but also everything we do on land. All of the overfishing that
happened or even the pollution is affecting the ocean.
Fish stocks in the continental shelf are considered to be overexploited now a
day. The fact that fishers don’t put anything to protect other animals affects them to. For example nets, if these fishers don’t put them then there are other marine organism that get
caught a these animals aren’t targeted. We have to make a change because every little thing we chose to do affect the ocean. We should be careful and chose wisely on how much sea food we purchase.
We have also affected the ocean through pollution. The fact that we release excess
nutrients into the ocean is very dangerous. If we for example put excess fertilizer
in the ocean then phytoplankton may grow. This can have a harmful effect in the
community. This can cause to the deaths of many animals or including their extinction.
