Some of the major environmental concerns in Oceania and Australasia include
deff fn [24]

The major environmental concerns in Oceania and Australia re the overfishing and the invasive species.

Explanation:

Australia and Oceania, as pretty much every place in the world, have some big environmental problems. Unlike the rest of the world, this region doesn't really have problem with deforestation, but it has big problems with overfishing, as well as with invasive species. The overfishing and the invasive species combined, manage to create huge problems, especially when it comes to the protection of the native species and keeping their numbers stable.

The overfishing has occurred because of the higher demand for fish. It is not just the local population that uses the fish extensively in its diet, but also there is huge demand worldwide, so lot of fish is actually for export. This has resulted in badly damaging the fish populations, and bringing some species on the verge of existence. The invasive species, have been brought in order to solve some problems, especially when it comes to food supply for the humans, but it turned out that they are fatal toward the local flora and fauna. Species like the cat, fox, camel, pigs, have managed to outcompete the indigenous fauna and lead to its endangering.

Lahars at Pinatubo since 1991 In the years that followed the devastating eruption in 1991, they deposited more than 0.7 cubic miles (3 cubic kilometers; hundreds of square miles of land were submerged by the debris, which was the equivalent of 300 million dump truck loads, in the lowlands surrounding the volcano.

<h3>How were they aware of the impending eruption of Mount Pinatubo?</h3>

Seismic data and an increase in sulfur dioxide released from the volcano by May 1991 suggested to scientists that the volcano's magma chambers were being filled with new magma. The rapidly expanding lava dome on Pinatubo hinted at a forthcoming large-scale eruption.
