Pollution and environmental protection 2

Pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances are introduced to the ecosystem

affecting the normal productivity of the natural environment. These substances that harm the

environment are commonly referred to as pollutants and are usually introduced by human beings

whether willingly or unknowingly. The environment can be pouted in three ways air, noise and

land pollution. Environment protection on the other hand refers to procedures and rules made

with an aim of conserving the environment by ensuring that the current good state of it is

maintain while the affected parts are restored to the original state.

In Manhattan California beach the main sources of pollutants include wet discharges. This are as

a result of rainfall and sometimes movements of snow, runoffs from storm rains, overflows from

sewages from California City, and improper discharge of waste. The fact that the beach is

located within the proximity of a city, there are a lot of oil, Greece, chemicals, nutrients,

bacterial and metal pieces that are carried by storm waters to the beach causing pollution. These

wet weather conditions have been mixed with sewages, water wasted from industries and water

from storms to cause problems in the levels of aesthetic value of Manhattan Beach("Manhattan

Beach," 2016, p. 45).

Trash and irresponsible littering is the other problem of pollution that is affecting this beach.

These are the solid materials which are thrown or carried to the beach by runoffs. Those who

visit the beach also come with beverages and snacks which they later dispose the waste on the

surface of the beach causing havocs. They include bottles, cigarette filters, lids, bottle caps and

plastic bags. The largest problem of polution in Manhattan beach is the level of nitrogen and

phosphorus in its water and air.This two nutrients are normally found naturally in the aquatic

ecosystem and under normal circumstances they are sources of food for aquatic animals but

when they become too much in the beach causes air and water pollution (Manning, 2017, p. 176)

.This have rendered the beach to be a danger to human health which have also impacted the

economy.

All this cases have called for environmental solutions which are aimed at preventing pollution of

the ocean and the beach with an aim of ensuring that normal life goes on in Manhattan Beach.

The management of Manhattan Beach has put a lot of efforts in order to ensure safety of both the

ocean and the beach. They have rolled out activities that clean all the city streets adjacent to the

beach in order to ensure that runoffs from the cities are clean and free from harmful pollutants. In

every week the streets are swept along all the commercial streets and residential areas to collect

all the litters to keep it clean.

The team has also worked with local governments to ensure that clarifiers are used at the city

when washing vehicles and in fueling stations. To broaden their base for solution offering the

management have also adopted storm water pollution prevention ordinance which contains

policies that guide on cases of pollution in the country. This guidance gives one of the best

management practices which have helped in guiding on different stages of constructions which

helps in easy control of pollution. The Manhattan Beach management have also partnered with

the national environmental management committee in order to monitor and maintain quality of

the beaches by looking at the pollution levels regularly which gives information that is fed to the

beach report card website(Vivian & Murray, 2011, p.76).All the restaurants close to the beach

have been issued with certificates which show that they agree to help in keeping the environment

clean and have a healthy and attractive site.
