A large ecosystem of our world is being affected, and that is the planet’s oceans, rivers, lakes, and other large sources of clean water. Water is one of the fundamental needs for life to strive and prosper, but water scarcity and water pollution is a large issue for our lives today. In a direct link to the reading assignment of “The Box”, some ships sometimes leak oil into the ocean and sometimes the containers that they carry can fall into the ocean due to weak securement and could have damaging chemicals that could harm the life that live in that area. Due to the harmful effects of the toxic waste, some areas called Dead Zones exist. Sewage in large quantities depletes the amount of oxygen in the water, and when too much oxygen is erased, the polluted area can no longer support underwater life. There is over four-hundred of the Dead Zones around the world which causes major damage to the health of
