The air is less polluted since there are fewer vaporetti and boat traffic than usual because of the restricted movement of residents.

This leads to clearer water, as boats usually stir up sediment. With Venice's canals clearer than they've been in years, more wildlife have come to the canals. Fish, swans, and even dolphins have been spotted in the canals.

The water now looks clearer because there is less traffic on the canals, which is allowing the sediment to stay at the bottom. With that the dolphins have been a lot easier to spot because there is clear water and they are swimming in good clear water. The air pollution there has dropped significantly and they are starting to see more animals spotted in the canals.

Since the self isolation has been in place less cars and other forms of transportation that put harmful gases into the atmosphere have gone down.

One of these places is Venice. Venice has been its clearest now than it ever has been. People haven't been going there so the canals have cleared up. Less boats are on the water so the sediment doesn't get left at the top of the water. Dolphins have been spotted in a lot of places. Along with this, Venice's air has cleared too.

Less boats are travelling on the canal, causing the sediments to stay at the bottom and the water to be less churned up. Dolphins appear in some places in Venice, and the quality of the air has been better as well.

One of these places is Venice. Without boats and other objects, animals such as swans, ducks, and dolphins are able to relax in the canals and fountains. As the article states, "Venice is the clearest it has been in 60 years,." Not only have the canals had a major saving, but the air has also grown to be healthier and cleaner.

Allowing for the water to settle and become a lot clearer. Since this lockdown it has also brought so many different creatures into the canal for example dolphins, duck, and fish have been spotted swimming around.

Venice has been clearer then ever. Due to lock down there hasn't been any boats around sea life can relax. The water is so clear that you can see the dolphins. The air pollution is also way better than ever.

Venice is the clearest it's been in 60 years. The article says "Nature just hit the reset button on us." Lots of the animal life has came back to the canals due to less people traveling on them. Even during this global pandemic there is a silver lining.

Since is less traffic in the canals, the canal is much cleaner. Since the water is cleaner, the swans have returned and the fish are more visible.The air has become much cleaner also. The carbon emissions have been decreasing because of cars, power plants, and other industrial sources being used less.

This means that less sediments have been stirred up by boats, making the water more clear. This has not changed the pollution of the water so much, but it has helped the air due to a lack of boat traffic. More aquatic animals are swimming in the canals because of the lack of traffic.

This helps the wildlife close to the canals because when the canals are crowded with boats there is far less pollution. In conclusion the waters are far more cleaner and many animals such as fish, dolphins, and swans can be found in the canals at this time.

Such as in Venice, Italy, as all the canal waterways begin to become less polluted by human waste. Swans flock back to rest on the water, fish also now swim freely through the canals, and dolphins now inhabit the Venice waterways. The air pollution has gone down significantly and the skies begin to clear up as well.

Like Venice Italy, Venice has  been the clearest it’s ever been for 60 years. Because of the quarantine boat usage has been way down. Now the water is cleaner,  there has been way less pollution and the sea creatures are finally at peace. Without the disruption of boats and people, the dolphins, ducks, swans, fish and all other creatures can finally be left alone.

Such as the canals in Venice Italy. There is no more traffic in the water due to the stay at home order and for once in a long time the water can clear up. The sediments have settled and people can see dolphins, swans, and fish enjoying the water.

The Venice canals are the most clear that they have been in a long time and that is attracting lots of marine life such as dolphins, more fish, and ducks. The water isn't necessarily in any better condition or cleaner, but the water is less churned up.

Currently Venice is looking more clean and clear then before. As people are ordered to stay in lock down, there are no ships creating problems for sea life. Sea life is now visible through the water. Air pollution rates have also gone down immaculately.

Due to the Corona virus people in Italy have been traveling less. So sea creatures are returning to the canals to swim. Animals such as swans fish and dolphins have been spotted in the canals.

This has allowed the sediment to stay at the bottom of the canals. Therefore, the canals have been looking cleaner, bluer, and more beautiful than ever. Since the new and improved canals, there has been dolphins spotted swimming about the canals. And who doesn't love dolphins? So I hope Venice tries to keep the canals more clean for the dolphins sake.

Since the corona virus started Venice's Canals have never been so clear because of self isolating. It's so clear because there's less boats going on the canals because the canals bring up sediment to the surface.

For the past 60 years there has been nothing close to clear water and/or wildlife in the venice canals. Not only is the water clear but dolphils, swans, and fish have returned to the canals.
