Ocean Shore Conservation.

Problems One problem is erosion on the Ocean Shore. Wakes from the boats speed up erosion and disturb the sand. Boat owners are encouraged to obey the no wake zones and report violators to the police. Also when people clear vegetation down to the waterline it destroys banks. Property owners on the Ocean Shore are encouraged to leave a buffer of natural vegetation.

Another problem would be construction on Ocean Shores. When done uphill on a shoreline it can result in increased amounts of sediments loads in the water. Much more stormwater runoff into the ocean. We can fix this problem by building farther away from the shoreline. Building on flat land, not uphill, will decrease the problem but not end it.

Effects A negative effect that humans have done to the Ocean Shore is that they have dumped millions of gallons of oil all over the ocean. Witch washes all over the Ocean Shore. It affects the animals that live on the ocean shore. Such as penguins and other animals that live there. It suffocates them and kills them; it also poison’s them. It makes the birds not able to fly so many birds die.

A positive effect people have on the ocean shore. Are people all over the nation are picking up the ocean shore? The people are picking up household appliances, tires, oil drums, and many other kinds of trash and pollutants. This is a huge problem and many people a helping to clean up and revive the ocean shores.
