Estuary+Conservation

__Estuary Conservation__ **Are you interested in conserving the Estuaries of the world? On this page made by Kaelyn S and David E, we'll let you know some of the problems found in estuaries, and what humans can do to help preserve them.**

People can have a postitive impact on the estuaries, like cleaning the channels. By doing this, a variety of fish can move in and there would be more birds to hunt them. By doing this, the ecosystem will continue to grow. Another way is farming. Further down the Chesapeke Bay, people farm. By farming, the fertile top soil would not errode. Lastly, people have been making reserves to help keep animals out of danger. But with each good thing, comes bad things. Plowing plants to make buildings can endanger plants, and they will eventually die out. People throw trash and waste into the river, and that can kill animals or make them disfunctional. Also fishing a lot can make crustations and fish die out.

Trash in the Estuary can be a big problem for land and water animals. From Fish to Birds. Small waste can be swallowed by fish and cause offspring to become deformed, liked growing extra fins or having to less fins. Some water snakes have grown two heads and frogs have extra eyes.

Some solutions to these problems are as the following. Don't throw your trash in the river, throw it in the garbage. Who knows? The less trash you throw in the river, the tastier your next fish may be. Also, fish might not die out as fast, and we'd have more seafood.
