INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS AND ENVIRONMENT
Introduction
The tourism type selected in this assignment is the adventure tourism. Exploitation of
the natural resources has adversely affected the habitats of the fauna and flora. The major
drive behind this is the fulfilment of the basic human needs. Decreasing greenery in the
ecosystems have reduced the tourists, passionate towards adventure (Epstein, 2018). This
assignment attempts to assess the impact of the Kayaking and Canoeing on the marine life of
North Stradbroke islands. This is in terms of ensuring the conservation means for the rivers,
which have become intolerable for the marine life. Moreover, it has aggravated the
complexities for the adventurers (Papathanasopoulou et al., 2016).
Background
North Stradbroke Island is situated within Moreton Bay, Queensland. Before the era
of 1896, the island was considered as a part of Stradbroke island. The island is the habitat of
rare, vulnerable and endangered species like migratory wading birds, Wallum froglet, Sedge
frog and Pygmy Perch. Diversity is also reflected in the flora with 599 native and 181
introduced species.
