    Destruction of Coastal Resources

    Uploaded by

    Chydelle Castro
    Coastal resources include tidal flats, estuaries, dunes, beaches, and barrier islands located landward of the shoreface. The destruction of these coastal resources has several negative effects, including the loss of marine biodiversity as populations decline and genetic variation is reduced, fish kills from pollution or low oxygen levels, and the loss of marine habitats as conditions for plant and animal survival are compromised. Agricultural runoff and acid precipitation from the atmosphere also contribute to the degradation of coastal ecosystems.

    Destruction of Coastal

    Resources

    What are Coastal


    Resources?
    Coastal Resources are anything
    landwardof the shoreface.
    The water depth at which incoming waves
    begin to interact with the seafloor.
    These include:
    Tidal flats
    Estuaries
    Dunes
    Beaches
    Barrier islands

    >Negative
    Effects Its
    Destruction
    Brings<
    ~Destruction of
    Mangroves and
    wetlands and other
    aquatic resources.
    ~Sites for landfills\
    dumps.

    Loss of Marine
    Biodiversity
    ~Happens when
    populations of a
    species become
    depleted and the
    genetic variation
    is reduced.

    Fish Kill
    ~is the sudden
    destruction of a large
    quantities of fish ,as by
    pollution.
    ~It is caused by
    suffocation during
    period of low
    oxygen,disease, spills
    of oil or other
    contaminants ,etc..

    Loss of Marine
    Habitat
    ~occurs when the
    conditions neccesary
    for plants and animals
    to survive are
    significantly
    compromised or
    eliminated.

    Agricultural Run Off

    ACID PRECIPITATION
    Acid rain, or acid deposition, is a broad term that includes
    any form of precipitation with acidic components, such as
    sulfuric or nitric acid that fall to the ground from the
    atmosphere in wet or dry forms. This can include rain, snow,
    fog, hail or even dust that is acidic.
