It will have taken long and intensive effort, but it will be well worth it to make sure that no fish are ever again wasted, and that fish—who have been around for million years and who have survived multiple mass extinctions—understand that their ability to survive is nothing compared to our ability to destroy. This brings us to our finest water accomplishment—unfortunately still a work in progress—which is the killing of the oceans on this water planet through toxification, through filling them with plastics, through overfishing, through blasting the oceans with artificial noise at up to db front row at a rock concert is db; pain and damage inevitable to humans at db; humans die at db; db is 10, times more intense than a nuclear explosion at yards , through acidifying the oceans, through dredging them, through causing sea level to rise killing biomes in the shallows and on the shore , and on and on and on.
Pretend you went back 10, years and you asked the people you saw which would be a more difficult and arduous accomplishment between, on the one hand, erecting huge tombs or, for that matter, putting a person on the moon and, on the other, dewatering lakes, rivers, and aquifers and toxifying water across the world, as well as wiping out so much life in once-unimaginably fecund oceans and rivers and lakes and wetlands that you have effectively killed even the oceans themselves.
Of course it would be harder to kill the oceans. No one could cause so much destruction. No one could turn the whole world into the largest tomb of all. And why would they be so stupid as to want to?

By Derrick Jensen. Dewatering Rivers Many treaties made between the US government and American Indian nations stated that the treaties would remain in effect so long as the wind blew and the rivers flowed—in other words, in perpetuity.
Toxification of Groundwater Technocrat billionaire Elon Musk and others have written that one way to search for extraterrestrial intelligence is to search for polluted planets, since industrial processes inherently pollute, and intelligence—in their perspective—inherently leads to industrial processes.

In residential yards, this is a heightened concern, as children play, sit and have their hands on the grass, making transmission of disease more likely. Ingesting water in residential ponds and beaches is a common method of documented transmission.
Geese feed by grazing on the grass while they walk on land, and can eat an incredible amount of grass per day, leaving the lawn coverage sparse. Geese can make yards a hassle rather than an asset; instead of enjoying the yard, property owners spend their time picking up geese excrement and attempting to repair the damage done to the grass.
They are aggressive towards people, especially while nesting and rearing their goslings. Hundreds of geese attacks occur every year, with geese chasing and biting, resulting in injuries ranging from small scratches to broken bones suffered during falls.
Geese feces have been implicated in the eutrophication of ponds; it has high nitrogen content, and when it rains the feces laden runoff filters to the ponds it causes algal blooms and fish kills.
Residential Unit — This unit is made for yards and private grassy areas where geese need to be deterred. They are installed by simply inserting the stake at the bottom of the unit into the grass, so they are easy to move to a new location, or for grass cutting needs. The lights are dim to the human eye and are not disturbing to the owners or their neighbors in the least. This unit floats is tethered and anchored so that it stays in this area, which allows it to move in a small circular area.
We have found this movement adds an additional level of deterrence for the geese. Dock Unit — The Dock Unit controls geese that gather on the dock, and also in the surrounding water or adjacent land.
