Answer 2

erosion, sand blasts, people walking off the walk trails and onto animals homes. Water pollution and the effects of pollution on the sea creatures. Fishing in non fishing spots. With erosion id do a google search on that and get diagrams of erosion and use these as an example on why the rock and sand bars are wearing away from the seawater and wind and storms. You could also look at litter being a factor too.

Answer 3

Increased numbers of fish for inhabitants and fishing guides, and general tourist dollars.
