No Part Of Oceans Untouched
The oceans cover 70% of the earth's surface and researchers have found that no portion have been free from the power of human influence.
Researchers overlaid several different factors including several types of human pollution, fishing, oil rigs, shipping, and species invasion to create a map showing the impact of human activities on the oceans and the degree. They found the hots spots to include the Caribbean, East Coast of North America, European Coast, the Mediterranean, and the East and South China Seas.
