Maddison’s information report on human impact

Humans have a huge impact on Antarctica.

One part of human impact is fishing. People do fishing, krilling and whaling. When people do krilling they catch all the krill from the sea and that affects the food chain. They do the same with the others.

Another one of the impacts are pollution. People throw rubbish in the water and it kills the animals in the sea. People in boats also have oil leeks which kills all the animals.

There is also human exploration. When they arrive they make huts and when they fall over they pollute the area. They also can cut or damage the area.


In the animal life people that come to Antarctica the people introduce animals and they can kill other animals and they will make them instinct. That also can affect the food chain.
Abandoned ships and huts kill animals. When the ships are abandoned they might have sharp bits on them and cut and damage sea life. With huts animals can get in there and eat people’s old food wrappers.

All the ice in Antarctica is melting from global warming. Some of global warming is by us. Global warming affects the ozone. The ozone is a thin layer of the atmosphere.
