Estuary+Conservation

Human activities are badly affecting Estuaries. They are causing habitat loss, degredation, fish population is shrinking, and overall health in estuarine health and productivity. Some things that badly effect estuarys are damming, dredging, and bulkheading. These change the natural flow of fresh water, dramatically affecting water quality. Humans have a lot of impact on estuaries. Some are good like the people at NERRS (the National Estuarine Research Reserves). They work days to perpare and help the people who are out cleaning the Gulf. They help people in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Texas to clean and to collect data such as water samples. They work next to Bp and with Bp to save the estuaries. Estuarys around the world are suffering from pollution like oil and garbage. 75% of all fish come from estuarys and if they all die the whole world will suffer. There are thousands of plants and animals in estuaries and all of them are in danger! A possible solution could be to have laws such if you are caught dumping trash or toxic chemicals in an Estuary you will be fined. Another problem in growth by human in estuaries. They hurt the land during construction and take the home away from the animals. When they do this it can hurt the animals and it makes the animals come inot or near peoples homes. It hurts animal the animals when they build and some people dont care. Also the machines put pollution in the air and destroy a pretty sight that people see but they dont protect it. One solution is to make laws where you cant build on estuaries so there is still estuaries that dont have homes right next to it. Casey D.
