__Estuary C﻿onservation__

Negative Human Impacts There are many problems the humans have created in water biomes. Among the biomes are estuaries. We have built on them for many reasons; like the abundance of natural resources including fish and other wildlife. When people build cities on estuaries it can really pose a problem. The city will often have pollution in the air and contaminate the water because of it; a city that has made this problem is San Francisco. The city is home to more than 20 piers that collect goods like fish and many others. The piers serve as ports for large barges that carry things from place to place. The exhaust pollutes the air and with it the water.

Positive Human Impacts There are positive human impacts like the law people have made so people will not pollute the estuaries. The law states that you may not or will not pollute the estuaries. Now that rule does not apply in all of the estuaries it applies in the majority of the coastal waters. The law helps by making the waters stay clean and tidy and mostly it keeps the animals stay healthy. If there was no law the waters would probably be very messy and the animals would be dieing off.

O n e P r ﻿o ﻿b l ﻿e ﻿m a ﻿n d ﻿S olution in Estuaries There are some problems that estuaries face. Some of the few problems include pollution that is dumped into the water. Also factories dump pollution into the water and it get into the water and hurt and even kill the wild life. The solution to litter in the water, that harms the animals, is recycling and not to dump the trash into the estuaries. The trash will harm the animal because the animals can eat the trash and die.

Problem and Solution === A problem in estuaries can be a huge issue. One of these problems is the phytoplankton called red tide. This makes estuaries polluted because when the phytoplankton touches the water it gives of a chemical reaction. That means that it produces toxins that are deadly to fish and take out the population of the fish. This reduction can effect the food chain and other animals that eat the fish. Again reducing the amount of wildlife diversity. The solution to this problem is to scavenge the banks of the estuaries to find the red tide and remove it from its home. ===
