Notes-
Runoff:
Rainwater runs off of surfaces. Problem it is getting polluted. Like pollution in air or fertilizers. Then all of this polluted water goes to the ocean, and thats kinda why the ocean is polluted.
Deadzones:
Reduced level of oxygen in the water. Humans have an effect on dead zones with all the pollutants. Dead zones are supposed to happen naturally.
Artificial Reefs:
Manmade stucture caused by sea creatures. Plankton starts growing there. So small fish come and further on. Affect fish for shelter, humans because fishing spot. Humans are the main reason this happens.
Oil Spills:
Oil released into the oceans. Can cause pollution. Can effect humans, money loss to clean up, fish becuase of poulation decrease, so its not good for anyone. Humans are the reason that oil spills happen cause there the ones spilling it.
Over Fishing:
Too much fishing. When people fish too much you can wipeout a species of fish. Can cause unbalance in an ecosystem.
Climate Change:
Drastic change in the weather. Slowly and overtime change in climate. Example would Global Warming. Effects human health.
Ocean Dependence:
Plankton and algae produce oxygen. Fish is a food source. Water is a source. Ships to trade. Precious metals and salt and medcine and manyh more resources.
