Human+Impact-+Cheston.

= What is the impact of people both those living in Antarctica and the world’s population on Antarctica? = == Think about changing sea levels, melting ice shelves, over-fishing, waste management of human wastes, waste management in general (rubbish and recycling), use of fossil fuels, oil spills,acidification of the ocean or any other impacts caused by people. ==

‍ What can be done to reduce these impacts?

 * In the time of the Pangaea, what we know now being called as Antarctica was a lush green place full of plants. When the continents separated Antarctica was moved down to the South Pole where its colder than the North because the sun normally shines on the middle of Earth, the North and South Pole are called "Polar Opposites". The South Pole is colder because the Artic Sea is surrounded by land, under the ice sheet makes it cold and as you get higher on to the mountains it gets colder as the altitude increases. The North Pole is not because it is surrounded by land which makes pollutions.**

 * Antartica is ONLY visited by scientist but sometimes tourist (rarely) it is mainly scientist visiting because they do r****esearching in the Antarctica about sea level due to the global warming in the Antarctica, over fishing, fossil fuelling etc. The scientist stay there for a couple of months sometimes years!!!**
 * The rules for over fishing are very strict in Antarctica because you have to have a licence for fishing and you also have a quota. The Quota was set by the Commission of the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), this quota will prevent the change of the food web for example: If you've caught all of the whales the population of the krills will over populate that the krills would go around our sea water as well as not having any whales this nearly happened to the Blue Whale. The Blue Whale is developing its growth as scientist are researching and learning about them.**

Acidification in the Antarctic oceans, destroys the krills skin called calcium carbonate this acidification will severely affect the krills breeding system. It has also affected many other creatures such as coils, oyster and many other creatures with an exoskeleton. In California they research about the sea urchins, in the future they will be willing to be mimicing CO2 in our water as it increases. They watch it's size, growth and maybe fertilization of the animal. We are polluting Carbon dioxide(CO2) scientists blame fossil fuel. 40% of CO2 are our water and 60% in the air.

=Caught krills per year= =What organism will be affected??=

In the open sea world calcyfing organisms will get affected the mollusc called 'pterpods', they're millions of these single celled called 'coccolithophorids' and the protozoan 'foraminifera'.

=HOW MAY WE PREVENT THIS MADNES??=

Some ways of the preventions are:


 * 1) We all must use somesort of a renewable energy source, as we are losing more of the fossil fuel that we find from the grounds which have been here long before us.
 * 2) We all should go on public transport which gives in less carbon dioxide and walking to places which are a short distance from home.
 * 3) Use the 3 R's: REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE. This step will help us alot in our life style as it keeps us more organized and will make us throw our garbage in stead of dropping it on the floor which then will go it the sea to make more CO2
 * 1) Use the 3 R's: REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE. This step will help us alot in our life style as it keeps us more organized and will make us throw our garbage in stead of dropping it on the floor which then will go it the sea to make more CO2

=Waste management in Antarctic= As Australia is in the Antarctic Treaty we follow the rules for Annex 3, Madrid Protocol this protocol will oblige all countries to apply to all waste management plans and principals.Most of the rubbish was in Australia's Station where we where closed down for a cleaning program. The AAD is researching techniques and environmental of Antarctic contaminated site remedation, which they're mainly focusing on the Casey Base. Waste management is very organized because they have 3 catergories for disposing stuff:
 * 1) Recycables
 * 2) Burnables
 * 3) Return back to Australia RTA(which is for landfill)

These three ways of disposing junk/rubbish are used in our Australian Division in Anarctica.
