The interaction between people and the Northeast environment is influenced by several factors.
The abundant of water resources allows the food supply of catched animals such as fish, oysters, lobsters; as well as the growth of pigs and cows.
Helping transportation of supplies, food and people as well; and industrial development through mills or dams, and woodland provides wood to the Northeast people
Human extent is correlated to the environment status, thus factors like over-fishing, deforestation and/or pollution trigger environmental consequences that alter the dynamics and equilibrium of the situation.
