Human Impact on Marine Life

Madhuri Kagana*

Human activities affect marine life and marine habitats through overfishing, habitat loss, and the introduction of invasive species, ocean pollution, ocean acidification and ocean warming. These impact marine ecosystems and food webs and may result in consequences as yet unrecognised for the biodiversity and continuation of marine life forms. As indicated by the IPCC (2019), since 1950 "numerous marine species across different gatherings have gone through shifts in geological reach and occasional exercises because of sea warming, ocean ice change and biogeochemical changes, like oxygen misfortune, to their natural surroundings. It has been assessed just 13% of the sea region stays as wild, for the most part in vast sea regions as opposed to along the coast.
