Most negative impacts came from land-based sources. Oils spills, garbage, acidification, untreated sewage, overfishing and marine litter are prime examples of negative impacts humans did to the marine biome. People have done positive impacts also to keep animals living in the marine biome living. Humans have picked up trash from beaches, prevented oil spills, watched what they put down sinks, prevented dumping waste into the ocean and many other positive things.

Predation is the relationship in which a predator captures and eats its prey.

Competition is when more than one organism (or population) tries to use the same limited resource.

Symbiosis is a relationship between two species. Mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism are the three main types of symbiosis.

Symbiosis (Mutualism) A boxer crab holds anemone in their claws and uses the stinging tentacles to protect itself from predators. The anemone is benefited in the situation by being able to eat particles of food that the boxer crab eats.

    My focal species, the trout, has a direct predator/prey interaction with both the shark and the ghost shrimp. In the shark and trout predation, the shark benefits by feeding upon my focal species, therefore, this form of predation is parasitism. On the other side, the trout eats the ghost shrimp. Therefore, the trout benefits at the expense of the ghost shrimp. Thus, this relationship is parasitic as well.…

    However, this does not have a significant effect on the basin. Mutualism is the interspecific interaction that benefits both species. Lichens are an example of mutualism in the Lake Tahoe Basin because Lichens are communities of algae and fungi. The algae makes oxygen for the fungi while the fungi produces food for the algae, interacting as a team to benefit both species. In commensalism, only one species is benefited during the interaction while the organism is neither harmed or benefited.…

    Charles Darwin had a theory that was the opposite of adaptations. Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection was basically “survival of the fittest.” When organisms reproduce and exceed the carrying capacity, the competition in the environment increases. Because of this, some organisms will not survive (Theory of Natural Selection). It was then that Darwin realized those organisms who were most suited for the environment were the ones who will live on and…
