Deep
Ocean
Every habitat and creature is inter-dependent. Our land use impacts
marine life as much as it impacts species that spend their lives on
land.
So many fish spend their early years close to shore. As juveniles,
they find safety from predators in the shelter of reefs and in the complex
mazes
of the mangroves.
According to CRC Reef, the leading authorities on marine life in Australia,
pollution and erosion on land due to urbanization and agriculture are
essential elements in determining the health of fish populations even
100 kilometers into the Deep Ocean.
Healthy mangroves and healthy reefs are essential to successful deep
water fish. |
