Which human activities are endangering ocean ecosystems?

Human activities such as overfishing, coastal development, pollution, and climate change are all endangering ocean ecosystems. Overfishing disrupts the balance of marine populations, causing irreparable damage to marine food chains. Coastal development leads to habitat destruction and pollution from runoff, disrupting the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. Pollution from plastics, chemicals, and oil spills further degrade ocean habitats and harm marine life. Finally, climate change is causing ocean acidification, rising sea levels, and warmer waters, all of which have detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. It is crucial that we take action to mitigate these human impacts and protect our oceans for future generations.
