The Five Themes of Geography Project The Bahamas By: Ethan Eiselt, Paige Ambach, Drew Sesler, Grace Dulle, Luke Bailey

Human-Environment Interaction By: Luke Bailey There are many ways that the people in the Bahamas affect and interact with the environment. Two big ones are fishing and tourism which pollutes the water. Fishing is a big industry in some of the Bahaman islands it produces lots of money for making the islands tourist attractions and hotel resorts like “Atlantis”. With all of the Cruise Liners that come in and out every day it’s polluting the water around the islands killing lots of fish making the fishing industry go down. Another Human Environment Interaction in the Bahamas is the chlorine runoff into the salt water killing even more fish around the islands. Now the fishing around the islands isn’t as popular.

Human-Environment Interaction Continued The Bahamas interacts with the environment by killing wildlife. The Bahamians people have cut down many trees to build beach resorts
