Overharvesting happens when the rate of fishing is greater than the rate of reproduction in an area

This can change entire ecosystems when one population disappears causing organisms to adapt, migrate, or die.

Imagine the number of shrimp are getting overharvested. The Gadus Morhua is a type of Atlantic Cod who eats shrimp. The Gadus Morhua dies from starvation because the shrimp are missing. The seals that eat Gadus Morhua suddenly have a choice, adapt, migrate, or die.

Overharvesting can force humans to find alternate food sources.

This problem can also cause jobs to decrease and food starvation to increase.

If overharvesting continues jobs that require fish or other aquatic creatures will go out of buisiness.

Overharvesting effects the ocean by killing those who inhabit the ocean by killing certain species

An artificial reef is a man-made underwater structure, typically built to promote marine life in areas with a generally featureless bottom, to control erosion, block ship passage, block the use of trawling nets, or improve surfing.

Our artificial reefs support more than just fish. They support jobs and people that earn a living from tourism associated with diving and fishing. In 1998, Florida State University researchers, estimated fishing and diving activities supported nearly 8,136 jobs and 84 million dollars in salary each year in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, and Bay counties. Despite the age of the study, it provides an idea of how vital artificial reefs and marine recreation are to Northwest Florida.

EXAMPLE:
The world's largest artificial reef was created by the purposeful sinking of the 44,000 ton aircraft carrier USS Oriskany off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, in 2006.

water that moves from/over land and eventually enters the oceans.

Runoff can carry fertilizers, pesticides, oil, and gasoline and  when that enters the ocean, then that can pollute the ocean.

Fertilizers add nutrients to water which makes the oceans oxygen levels to drop which makes fish die

Alternative energy sources are forms of energy other than using fossil fuels.
using alternative sources does help human population because using fossil fuels causes pollution. breathing in polluted air can cause people to get an asthma attack or can get lung disease, so using alternative energy sources can help people from getting lung disease and dying.
most of the time there are oil spills in the ocean. this causes more fish to die.

Human awareness is the awareness by the human about the human and environmental processes and their interaction.

Human awareness impacts the human population by letting humans know that they are killing the oceans with all of our negative impacts.

Human awareness impacts the ocean by letting some humans to try to help the ocean as much as possible.

For example human awareness has led to some restaurants to stop using straws.

In open-water marine spills, the primary response objectives are:To prevent the spill from reaching shore, To reduce the impact on marine life, and To speed the degradation of any unrecovered oil.

Why humans depend on other parts of our environment
1. Humans depend on our forest because most of the air we breath comes from forest.
2. Humans need grasslands to help our livestock be healthy for consumption.
3. We also need rivers for transportation and for clean water.
