The more houses and roads we build creates impermeable surfaces (such as concrete and pavement) that do not allow filtering of water down through the soil and into the aquifer where ground water is stored.

Runoff is the flow of water that occurs when the soil is saturated and excess water from rain, or other sources, flow over the land and can accumulate in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Algae and invertebrates such as coral, oysters, and barnacles, can attach to the reefs. As they grow, reefs provide a structure for habitats and food.
Humans depend on oceans for many reasons including food, transportation, energy sources, and recreation.
They can be intentional by placing unused or non-working structures that were once used for other purposes such as old automobiles, buses, train cars, and oil rigs down to the ocean floor
These concerns include toxicity of some man-made structures, damage to some natural ecosystems, and even worsening the effects of overfishing by accumulating fish into one area.
Human activities play an important role in changing the environment of the oceans
