Tourists can place a burden on the aquatic environment or ecosystem by:

  • demanding higher availability of water for accommodations thus reducing stream flow
  • developing roadways and built-up areas with increased run off
  • discharging materials not native to the environment (chemicals)
  • contaminating groundwater supplies with dumpsites
  • requiring improved depths on near shore areas for vessels
  • depositing trash or litter in the water
  • changing the flow of groundwater or surface streams
  • discharging hydrocarbons from fueling depots
  • changing water temperatures with warm discharges
  • adding BOD5 containing material to stream flows
