I read two articles that I found interesting on the science daily website. The first article is about how nutrient pollution is changing the sounds in the sea. The second was a video about a comeback for Pandas.
In the first article written by the University of Adelaide, it discusses how the nutrient pollution that is emptying into the seas from cities, towns and agricultural land is changing the sounds that are made by marine life. This could potentially make it hard for the creatures of the sea to recognize the navigational cues usually used, which could ultimately cause a decline in health and overall reproduction of more sea creatures, such as fish, shrimp and sea urchins for generations to come. Without the proper sounds of the sea, the sea creatures may lose direction of their shelter and without a proper shelter and diet, they will not survive thus, will not reproduce.If they are not able to reproduce, it is possible for these sea creatures to decline in population to the point of endangerment or even extinction. Not to mention, other possible negative effects that …show more content…

The chinese government was credited for this progress due to their panda reserves as well as limiting local impacts on panda habitats. The video discusses how the Panda is still not in the clear, but human conservation is surely helping to get them back on track with population growth.

This interested me because I love animals, and panda’s are one of my favorite animal, they are super cute. Hopefully as we learn more about each species, and as more people continue to conserve endangered species, we could lower this
