When we begin thinking about how energy, nutrients, and toxins flow into food webs, we begin to view environments as an ecosystem ecologist. Pollution from urban runoff is certainly a conservation challenge that can impact entire aquatic communities but there can also be conservation benefits to the densification of humans in cities. In the video, the Shellfish Program Manager makes the statement, "Its a web, and everything is dependant on everything. Any type of pollution that would affect the species of the Puget Sound would, therefore, affect the tribal harvesting." Do you agree with that statement? Explain your answer using an ecosystem perspective?
