Threatened Ecosystem
The Indian Ocean provides an important trade route both historically and in modern times for shipping various resources, including oil and petroleum products, from the Middle East to other parts of the world. The resulting pollution, combined with destructive fishing practices, mining operations, commercial development and war-related activity have resulted in the destruction of many of the Indian Ocean's delicate marine ecosystems.Stormy Waters
Monsoons are characteristic of the Arabian Sea and responsible for the yearly cycling of its waters. In summer, strong winds blow from the southwest to the northeast, bringing rain to coastal areas and pulling deeper, nutrient-rich waters to the surface, thus providing rich fishing grounds. During the winter, the winds are milder and blow in the opposite direction, from the northeast to the southwest.
