Many people from all over the world visit Australia for its weather, the scenery and its pristine beaches. Tourism has evolved over the many years and has impacted the way many people see Australia as a country. One of the most popular holiday destinations within Australia, would be along the coastline enjoying the pristine beaches, the marine life and seven natural wonders of the world. One of the most popular holiday destinations in Australia is definitely experiencing what the coastlines have to offer. Whether it is enjoying the magnificent white sandy beaches, swimming in the clear blue waters or appreciating the abundant marine life while exploring the Great Barrier Reef one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Each year over 2 million tourists visit the reef and spend approximately 5-6 billion dollars while adventuring the great outdoors. To sustain the Australian coastline as a viable tourist destination, the environmental issue of marine pollution, in particular plastics need to be addressed. Unfortunately, in today’s world we live in a plastic society and as a result, a large amount of plastic bags and other plastic items are finding their way into the waterways and ocean impacting on both the marine life and ecosystem. If this environmental issue is addressed in the present with improvements for the future, it will allow many generations to continue to enjoy the beauty which Australia has to offer.
Marine debris has become a significant global issue and is quite
Why you say? There are numerous ways individually Queenslanders are ruining the single largest organism on Earth. With every part of the problems such as oil spills, coral bleaching along with coral disease caused by harmful chemicals in the water eradicating wildlife. Plastic should not be one of them,
The oil spills are being caused by the one who spill it should be responsible and the only one who makes oil is companies are the ones who makes oil so they should pay for the damage beside the earth is already been damaged by us so I think people should help the earth beside humans are the ones who needs earth.The companies who spill oil into oceans should pay for clean up. The earth is being damage already and humans are the ones who need the earth not the earth needs the humans because of the gravity and the professor says that if you dump anything down the toilet then it will go to the oceans by the sewage and the sewers has bad toxic waste in it. The companies who spill oil into oceans should pay for clean up. have three reasons why
If you have ever lived in proximity to coastal areas you may have seen coastline erosion first hand. The beaches you frequent during the summer may seem to be getting smaller and smaller every year. Why does your favorite beach seem to be disappearing? Coastal erosion is to blame. The waves, wind, tides and currents all play a part in the mechanism that is coastal erosion. When water and wind batter the shoreline sediments are carried out to sea and deposited on the sea floor or at other points along the coastline. This is called an erosional coastline. This erosion may be very apparent or seem to have happened overnight when it happens due to a large storm or extremely high tide.
Everything in this world we use comes from the ocean in some way. The air we breathe, the water we drink, even the products we use day to day, would not be possible without the ocean. That's why the issue of ocean pollution is so important and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. We depend on the ocean for so much in our life, without it we would surely become extinct. People seem to think that since the ocean is so large and vast, we can dump as much waste as we'd like into it and it will never have an effect on us. However, since we've been polluting the ocean as far back as Roman times, the evidence of ocean pollution becoming a major problem is all too clear.
drug residues and sediments in the field, it will then eventually runoff into our streams, lakes, rivers. Which cause our water to be contaminated and affecting our food quality and living organisms in the water. I think it is good that we have a system to take control of our agriculture but we don’t realize how much it is hurting us and the environment around us. We are not the only ones who are affected by water pollution but also plants and animals who feeds out of these waters.
D. Chemicals and foreign liquids are not the only factors causing harm in the ocean. Many tangible objects, especially plastic, glass, and other trash, contaminate the deep blue sea.
For the last few decades hundreds of human activities have been severely impacting one of our most important ecosystems and the life it sustains. Ocean Pollution also known as Marine Pollution is defined as the spreading of deleterious substances such as human, industrial, and agricultural waste, oil, plastic, chemicals and much more. An article from the NOAA states “Eighty percent of pollution to the marine environment comes from the land.” Humans are responsible for the destructruction of the oceans, therefore it is our obligation within every citizen in playing there part to keep our oceans clean. Ocean Pollution doesn't only affect marine life, but us as well. An article from PlanetAid.org states “It provides over 70 percent of the oxygen
Runoff is defined as excess water that soil does not absorb after a storm. Runoff collects various particles on its way downhill, such as pesticides and nutrients, from the surrounding area, and moves them into the nearby bodies of water. Some nutrients carried by runoff include: nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate; all of which are found in golf course turf fertilizer (experiment). When these excess chemicals enter the water, they create an imbalance in the ecosystem. This imbalance can be harmful to inhabitants both in, and around the body of water. Those affected in the water may be subjected to a decrease in dissolved oxygen levels, making it harder for the animals to breath. The levels of acidity in the water may increase, causing
Have you ever wondered what is life like without plastic? Today, all around the world ocean pollution is still active. The community is trying to figure out a great solution to stop ocean pollution. Most of the time no one knows that he or she usually uses water for everything in beverages and food . Well, it seems like when people drink water it's like they’re actually drinking the ocean . People pass by around places that he or she never been to ,could possibly have dangerous things in our waters. There’s a reason why people has to be careful with water. Water doesn't have to be wasted it's basically one of nature's important resource.This research paper will talk about the past solutions that prevent ocean pollution.
The ocean absorbs a little over 26 percent of all carbon in the atmosphere. This used to be good for both the ocean and the atmosphere because the ocean would keep the green house affect caused by carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. While the atmosphere would provide carbon dioxide for the marine life to turn into oxygen and use to sustain life. Due to the exponential increase in carbon emissions by cars, trains, planes, and nuclear power plants, the ocean is not only absorbing to much carbon dioxide which is making the average temperature rise to an inhabitable level. But the ocean is also absorbing many of the carcinogens of the emissions by cars which could potentially single handedly destroy all marine life if it is continued to be left unchecked.
However, many fisherman are unable to catch as many fish as they used to, so they are increasingly using cyanide and dynamite in fishing, which further degrades the coral reef ecosystem.[6] This perpetuation of bad habits simply leads to the further decline of coral reefs and therefore perpetuating the problem. One solution to stopping this cycle is to educate the local community about why conservation of marine spaces that include coral reefs is important.[7] Once the local communities understand the personal stakes at risk then they will actually fight to preserve the reefs. Conserving coral reefs has many economic, social, and ecological benefits, not only for the people who live on these islands, but for people throughout the world as well.
Air and water pollution is one of the biggest problems the environment faces today. It is one of the highest leading cause of death. Air and water pollution has been affecting the environment for many years causing many diseases among people especially children. I will study and examine the early childhood growth between two countries which are Australia and Tanzania. I will discuss how clean and polluted their air and water is for each country. Their access to clean water. I will also explain the effects that can occur when water is contaminated. How children are affected when they don 't have access to primary essentials and how each country and their environment and living condition might threatened a child 's life.
As the world develops and the human population grows there is more pollution being dumped into the oceans, causing major problems to marine life and ecosystems. Major causes of marine pollution involve non-point pollutants, marine garbage, toxic ocean pollutants and sewage disposal in oceans. From heavy metal poisoning including lead and mercury killing predators such as sharks and whales, to waste getting trapped in the digestive tracts of marine animals, this essay focuses on how human interference causes horrifying problems to the marine life, but also how to fix it. It will also explore the normal activities of people including farming and how this can cause an imbalance in an ecosystem. Everyday activities can cause massive nutrient
Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment. It is a major problem in America and as well as the world. Pollution not only damages the environment, but damages us also. It has cause many problems ranging from lung cancer to the greenhouse effect. It is all among us but we continue to live in our own filth. What is the reason behind this flawed logic? In this paper I will examine the problems and solutions for this issue.
Pollution has become a major issue over the years because it contaminates the Earth’s environment and affects human health. While some environmental pollution is a result of natural causes such as volcanic eruptions, most is caused by human activities. The increase of various types of pollution has made cancer pollutant more prevalent among the people, raising the risk of getting cancer. After being exposed to theses pollutants, the effects may be immediate or delayed. Some of the delayed effects, due to the exposure, can go unnoticed for many years. Another major issue that pollution creates is the tremendous cost for preventing and cleaning it up. However, we can not regulate the pollutants to the extent where there are no more possible
