Oceans around the world are becoming degraded. Evidence shows that human activities, including intense fishing around the world, are altering ocean ecosystemsbeyond their natural state. According to numerous scientific studies, fish, shellfish, and other important species are declining in many places. These changes are impairing the ocean's capacity to provide food, protect livelihoods, maintain clean water, and recover from environmental stresses like severe storms.
A recent study which has mapped the total human impact on the seas for the first time has revealed that the picture is far worse than the scientists imagined. 40% of the world's oceans have been heavily affected by human activities, including fishing, coastal development and pollution from shipping. The most severely affected areas are the North Sea, South and East China Seas, Carribean, Mediterranean, Red Sea, the Gulf, the Bering Sea, the East Coast of North America and the Western Pacific.
Scientists compiled data on the impact of 17 human activities across 20 ecosystems to compile a map of impacts at a global scale. One of the scientists behind the study commented that; "the message for policy-makers is clear... Conservation action that cuts across the whole set of human impacts is needed right now in many places around the globe".

Human impact refers to the effects that human activities have on the environment, ecosystems, and other living organisms. These impacts can be positive or negative and can include changes to habitats, pollution, resource depletion, and climate change. Understanding and minimizing human impact is essential for sustainable development and maintaining a healthy planet.
The impact it has in humans is loss of property, loss of lives and loss of sanity.
Impact of soil pollution
Thalassophobia is fear of the open ocean.
surface/ open ocean zone was warmer than the deep ocean. Sunlight can reach the open ocean so the temp. is warm.
How could humans have impact on hamsters
globalisation & its impact on Indian agriculture?
In the open ocean you can find the Blue whale
A volcano has an impact on both the environment and humans. It has an impact on the environment because it would kill all of the plants and scorch the Earth. It would have an impact on humans because if a human civilization lived there, it would wipe out their whole city.
Humans can't see in the ocean because the salt water burns their eyes.
