discuss how development of oceanic tourism should be carried out without disturbing marine life.
Answers
Explanation:
→Tourist infrastructure
In many areas, massive new tourist developments have been built - including airports, marinas, resorts, and golf courses. Overdevelopment for tourism has the same problems as other coastal developments, but often has a greater impact as the tourist developments are located at or near fragile marine ecosystems. For example:
mangrove forests and seagrass meadows have been removed to create open beaches
tourist developments such as piers and other structures have been built directly on top of coral reefs
nesting sites for endangered marine turtles have been destroyed and disturbed by large numbers of tourists on the beaches
→Careless resorts, operators, and tourists.
The damage doesn't end with the construction of tourist facilities.
Some resorts empty their sewage and other wastes directly into water surrounding coral reefs and other sensitive marine habitats.
Recreational activities also have a huge impact. For example, careless boating, diving, snorkeling, and fishing have substantially damaged coral reefs in many parts of the world, through people touching reefs, stirring up sediment, and dropping anchors.
Marine animals such as whale sharks, seals, dugongs, dolphins, whales, and birds are also disturbed by increased numbers of boats, and by people approaching too closely.
Tourism can also add to the consumption of seafood in an area, putting pressure on local fish populations and sometimes contributing to overfishing.
Collection of corals, shells, and other marine souvenirs - either by individual tourists, or local people who then sell the souvenirs to tourists - also has a detrimental effect on the local environment.
→Floating towns
The increased popularity of cruise ships has also adversely affected the marine environment. Carrying up to 4,000 passengers and crew, these enormous floating towns are a major source of marine pollution through the dumping of garbage and untreated sewage at sea, and the release of other shipping-related pollutants.
Development of oceanic tourism should be carried out without disturbing marine life:
- The shelter built using bamboo, twigs and branches of coconut tree is called thatch.
- A thatch is a good option for a lawn as it acts as an insulator and keeps you safe from the extreme heat.
- It also keeps you along and relaxed from the excessive foot traffic (where it is needed).
- Making a thatch is good for soil too as it checks the weed germination in soil and thus, retain the moisture of the soil.
