Pathogens, sediments and chemical pollutants.
Damage to the food chain.
Diseases can be spread through polluted water.
Acid rain Alteration of
the over all chemistry of water.
Contaminated marine food sources.
Altered water temperatures which can kill the marine life.
Pick up waste material and throw them in the trash can.
Weeding should be practiced instead of using herbicides to kill unwanted weeds.
