Human-Environment Interaction
By: Luke Bailey
• There are many ways that the people in the Bahamas
affect and interact with the environment. Two big ones
are fishing and tourism which pollutes the water. Fishing
is a big industry in some of the Bahaman islands it
produces lots of money for making the islands tourist
attractions and hotel resorts like “Atlantis”. With all of
the Cruise Liners that come in and out every day it’s
polluting the water around the islands killing lots of fish
making the fishing industry go down. Another Human
Environment Interaction in the Bahamas is the chlorine
runoff into the salt water killing even more fish around
the islands. Now the fishing around the islands isn’t as
popular.
