We encounter so many risks in our daily lives ranging from just crossing the street to get to work or school, to our recreational favorites. How can we justify the resources being spent on environmental risks when those risks may be less than that encountered in a day surfing at the shore, skiing, bicycling or just driving to work?
Because environmental science is a mix of different fields such as chemistry, biology, sociology and etc. How are these fields help in solving environmental problems that we face today. Answer it with examples. Write it in 2 paragraphs

They are large, peaceful, gentle, curious creatures, and slow-moving swimmers. They spend many hours each day feeding on water plants. Manatees must surface to breathe every 15 minutes. The manatee's environment is changing because of hotels and homes being built along Florida's rivers, and the change is affecting them in a negative way. Noise and activity from people and boats scare them. Manatees can be seriously injured by powerboat propellers because the manatees cannot tell the direction from which the boats are coming. The water plants the manatees use for food are being destroyed. As a result of these and other changes in their surroundings, manatees are on the endangered species list and may one day be gone from Florida's rivers. What are two environmental conditions that might lead to the disappearance of manatees from Florida's rivers? Be sure to explain your reasoning with…arrow_forward
