Question

Why do you think that concerns about the environment did not emerge in marine science until the late twentieth century?

Answer 1

One possible reason why concerns about the environment did not emerge in marine science until the late twentieth century is that the study of marine science was initially focused on understanding the ocean's physical and biological processes, rather than its environmental impact. Another reason could be that the environmental issues and concerns related to the ocean were not as visible or apparent as they are today, and it was only after the negative effects of human activities on the ocean became more evident that marine scientists began to focus on environmental issues.

Answer 2

Because that is when oil and other harmful fumes to ecosystems first started appearing, and they did not care about animals back then as much, an example could be when they sprayed pesticides to kill weeds but instead almost killed a huge bird population. Most marine animals did not start dying and becoming endangered species until we did many oil spills into the ocean.
