Human Effects on Ocean Ecosystems In this activity, you will prepare a 1,000- to 1,250-word research paper about the effects of human activity on ocean ecosystems. You will focus on one particular human activity that has a negative effect on the ecosystem. You’ll also compare and contrast at least three existing solutions to prevent or manage the problem. The human activity you choose should be specific, be realistic, and have predictable effects on the ecosystem. For example, deforestation is a specific human activity that has a negative effect on forest ecosystems. At the end of the paper, you will write a one- to two-paragraph proposal describing a program to educate citizens on this problem and encourage them to do their part to prevent it.

Throughout human existence we have relied on the oceans – for food, as a waste dump, for recreation, for economic opportunities and so on. However, it’s not only our activities in the marine environment that affect life in the sea – it’s also the things we do on land.

With more than half the world’s population now living within 100 kilometres of the coast, it’s not surprising that our activities are taking their toll. Human impacts have increased along with our rapid population growth, substantial developments in technology and significant changes in land use. Over-fishing, pollution and introduced species are affecting life in the sea – and New Zealand is no exception!

the "power" of a lens is its resolution power, or its ability to distinguish between to closely located points. with the low power lens, it is likely you will see the rough form of the hay and maybe some movement of dots around the hay. however, when observed with the high power lens, the detailed features of the hay become visible and the microbes being grown are more clearly visible.

i hope this you
