Fresh water Ecosystem Rivers, Tanks, Reservoirs, Ponds etc. Brackish water Ecosystems Lagoons, Estuaries, Mangroves, wetlands etc. Marine Ecosystems Beaches, Sand dunes, Sea grass beds, open sea, deep ocean etc.
Impacts on Fresh water Ecosystems Water Poisoning & Bio diversity degradation due to the Chemicals & Toxins emitting to the open rivers and streams environment from factories, industries. Garbage dumping in the river & river bank sites Home, Residential wastages causes water quality depletion & eutrophic conditions. Solid litters. Polythene, plastic materials Inorganic materials - chemical substances, heavy metals. Liquid wastages. Modifications of Natural water bodies due industrial purposes depletes water content of rivers, lakes & reservoirs hydro electricity plants, irrigations etc.
Contd Over Fishing & mindless Exploitations decline the genetic diversity & lead to endanger the particular fish species. Removing forest covers and vegetation adjacent to the fresh water bodies for cultivation & construction purposes reduces bio- community & interrupts the balance of river environment . overdrawing groundwater for drinking, irrigation, and industrial uses leads to depletion of ground water content & complete drainage of fresh water bodies. Introducing exotic species into natural reservoirs, streams & tanks causes imbalance of ecosystem ,threats the native species & increase the demand for food & shelter.
Unpleasant results of Cruel human activities in Fresh water bodies Impacts on Brackish water ecosystems Poor disposal of sewage water & litter depositions in estuarine environments alters the water quality block the natural water flow. Deforestation of mangroves and other vegetations in brackish environment due to the construction & industrial aquaculture and fisheries practices causes frequent flooding & erosion. Extreme fishing activities over fishing, usage of banned exploitation gears. intensive tourism activities pollute the environment sport fishing, boating, boat safari and collecting rare brackish water organisms as souvenirs. Bridge and building construction in brackish environments alters water quality parameters and makes impossible of existence of organisms in the particular environment. Gem, soil mining activities in brackish environment cause land degradation, hyper turbid condition & eutrophication in particular ecosystem.
Some Human Activities Impact to The Brackish Ecosystems Impacts on Marine Ecosystem Oil spills occurred by the transportations & unexpected accidents of of huge oil tankers in ocean cause huge & long term impact on the ocean environment & the associated bio community. Oil exploitations & mineral mining in deep sea zones pollutes sea bottom and destruct the benthic bio diversity. Destructive & banned fish exploitations-blast fishing, ghost fishing. Coral mining-not only affect the coral reefs, also kills thousands of micro and macro organisms which are depend on corals for food & habitat. Sand mining in beaches & shallow coastal zone causes land degradation in off shore region & sea erosion.
Contd Massive construction projects due to the tourism development, harbor & fishery developments causes coastal deforestations & land degradation. Coastal water quality alteration & pollution can be occurred due to sewage & garbage disposal of beach hotels & restaurants. Intensive tourism activities such as boating, sport fishing, hunting & collecting the rare marine organisms as souvenirs cause threats to the coastal bio diversity & leads to the extinction of rare species. Anchoring of fishing vessels & ships damage and destructs corals & other organisms live in seabed.
Climate & Temperature changes in the marine environment due to the human activities especially the green house effect causes major threats to the whole marine ecosystem & its floral and faunal community.
