I haven't been fishing since last summer

I'm so glad I hit you up to go

I had no idea you were into it.

oh totes, I love fishing and the lake is

always so pretty

huh! it usually is

you know, yeah, the lake is not looking so hot today

and it smells

read the sign

it`s polluted. I wish they cared more about conservation

it's crazy people need to realise that their actions affect the environment

and the ecosystem for reals

but people and nature affect the balance of ecosystems

Ecosystems are constantly changing in small ways like

when new organisms grow in an ecosystem

There's a name for those changes

I just can't remember what it is

It's called succession

Succession is when new organisms start to grow and

live in an ecosystem all right and

succession is gradual, so we don't notice them right away

see how the lave is covered in that gross furry much

yeah, it's everywhere.

Well, that muck is algae that started growing because of the pollution

since it's a change that's happening to an ecosystem that already exists

it's called secondary succession

the ecosystem is already in full swing

so secondary succession usually happens faster

than primary succession

exactly now primary succession is the birth of an ecosystem

and is the change that happens right at the very beginning when

there's nothing but rock

it takes a while but eventually

that rock turns to soil

plants begin to grow and an ecosystem is created

Well, wether the change is primary or secondary

the ultimate goal of succession is for a complete ecosystem to exist

it's the way ecosystems fight to survive

fires can burn down forests

hurricanes can wipe out animals and plants

even pollution like this can threaten

to destroy an ecosystem

Yeah, but with secondary succession

ecosystems can fight back regenerate

and start over again

I hope secondary succession gives a lake a second chance

Ecosystems change every day in small ways

nature and humans both cause changes

that affect the ecosystem

When those changes began

they cause succession to take place

succession is the gradual growth of new organisms in an environment

sometimes a brand new ecosystem is born from the changes

that's called primary succession

other times an ecosystem is wiped out

by natural disasters or by humans

when it begins to regrow and start anew that's secondary succession

I was really pumped to do some fishing today

I'm sort of bummed

me too

but maybe we came for a reason

let's make some changes and clean this lake up.
