The beautiful Alaska is a tourist attraction, and housing prices are also very high. In recent years, housing prices have fallen. Real estate agents are very anxious about this, but they can't find the reason, so they have to pay a lot of money to find the answer. In the end, the biologist won the bonus, and the answer turned out to be related to pollock.
Alaska pollock has smooth and tender meat and extremely delicious taste, so the market demand is huge, especially in recent years, it has become the most economically valuable fish in Alaska, and the catch is even more amazing. Even so, it still can't meet the needs of the market.
Because of overfishing of pollock, the number of seals that feed on pollock will drastically decrease. The number of seals has decreased, and killer whales that prey on seals can only swim offshore from the deep sea to prey on sea otters to satisfy their hunger. This will lead to a decrease in sea otters.
Sea otters mainly eat sea urchins. Now there are fewer sea otters and the number of sea urchins has increased. The food of sea urchins is seaweed. The flood of sea urchins without natural enemies has caused great damage to the local seaweed forest.
In addition to providing a safe shelter for large and small creatures, the seaweed forest is the key to resisting the impact of waves on the beach. Now that the seaweed is destroyed, there is no way to talk about the seaweed forest. Without the buffer of the seaweed forest, the impact of seawater on the beach has been greatly enhanced.
The consequence of this is that coastal houses have been eroded and their service life has been greatly reduced, eventually leading to a decline in coastal housing prices. Some things seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are all connected, so let us take a moment to do some seemingly unrelated good deeds. Maybe at a certain node, we will be full. Of course, maybe we ate a fish today, and tomorrow the sea will hit our house.
