Human Impact on the Ocean effects our Economy: The Media and the Ocean

As I talk about all of the ways the ocean effects the economy, one of the biggest ways it does that is by broadcasting. Not just the economy has ben effected but the urgency to educate the public. T.V. and movie companies are being effected. Millions are being invested into shows educating the public. Animal Planet, Discovery and the National Geographic are examples of the broadcasting networks used. Within those networks there are shows such as Planet Earth, Blue Planet, The Crocodile Hunter, River Monsters, and the most infament Shark Week on Discovery Channel. All over the world it has become a huge phenomenon with trying to reach out to the public and educate them. The world spends a tremendous amount of money on networking, and with our generation now it seems like everything is media based. This is just one more thing that is connected to contributing to our national GDP, and without the harm to the oceans we would have no reason to even have these shows.
