Impact on Coastal Marine Habitats by Human Activities
Issues
Plastic pollution
Biofouling
Water quality / Toxic Runoff
Introduction of Marine Pests
Impacts
Economic properities of local communities
Quality of life for humans & the natural world
widespread nutrient enrichment of coastal
waterways has substantially altered the processes of
nutrient cycling, sulfur metabolism and carbon fixation
Destruction of critical nursing, roosting and nesting
sites has broad-reaching ramifications for species
that rely on networks of sites to maintain populations
(e.g. shorebirds).

Problem definition and significance: Why does this issue need to be addressed?

Why it needs to be addresses
Over 80% of all marine pollution originates from land-based sources
Our coast is
intimately linked to our national economy, industry,
arts, social lifestyle and cultural identity, with more than
85 per cent of Australians living within 50 kilometres
of the sea.
Australia’s Indigenous history and culture are closely
tied to the coast, which hosts invaluable heritage
sites, and is fundamental to past and contemporary
Indigenous practices.
The team has clearly and concisely defined the problem, showing higher-level thought. The significance of the problem is well considered, well argued and well supported with factual, reliable information.
