-Oil spills , global warming and pollution have very large impact on the aquatic ecosystems. The global aquatic ecosystem is facing enormous challenges, such as marine ecosystem damage caused by over-fishing, the rise of seawater temperature, the pollution of waste such as plastics, and eutrophication of seawater.

affects the water bodies: excessive use of fertilizers causes eutrophication. the fertilizers which are used on plants affect the quality of land on which it is used, further causing erosion of soil. the fertilizers used on plants contain harmful chemical fumes which affect the environment.
