    living organisms (plants‚ animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air‚ water and mineral soil)‚ interacting as a system. These components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚ they can come in any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited spaces (although some scientists say that the

    effects the marine environment in many ways‚ dredging has a big impact on marine eco systems dredging wrecks reefs and destroys the homes for manor many organisms. When this happens the dirt from the bottom dirties the water up and it makes it harder for fish to see and hunt for their food. Artificial reefs are a positive impact humans have on the marine environment. Doing this builds homes for fish and organisms. It has a big impact on the food chain for fish also. Little fish gather around the reefs
