People And The Sea

Question 1

Answer 1

• Food supply
• Transport
• Recreation

Question 2

How do people interact with the sea in terms of food supply?

Answer 2

We eat hunt and eat fish for the sea. Places like Killybegs in Co. Donegal especially rely on this. However, this can lead to overfishing.

Question 3

How do people interact with the sea in terms of transport?

Answer 3

Ferries carry people across the sea which contributes to the tourist industry. There are also large cargo ships that transport goods, but this all leads to pollution across the sea and oil spillages that affect the environment.

Question 4

How do people interact with the sea in terms of recreation?

Answer 4

People use the sea to surf, kayak and sunbathe which helps the tourist industry and increases employment and money towards town improvements. This also causes sand dunes to be eroded by people walking on them, trash pollution and sewage pollution.
