In addition, off-road vehicles can disturb wildlife and erode the soil. Third, individuals engaging in recreational activities can cause pollution. Sporting events and camping outdoors can be enjoyable, but people can cause air, soil and groundwater pollution.
When you look deeper into the effects of recreation on the environment, you will find that the impacts are even more specific. These activities cause noise and light pollution, consumption of natural and non-renewable resources, greenhouse gas emissions and depletion of the ozone layer.
However, there are efforts being made to combat pollution so that areas dedicated to recreation continue to be places that people want to go to play sports or go camping.

Many of these impacts are linked with the construction of general infrastructure such as roads and airports, and of tourism facilities, including resorts, hotels, restaurants, shops, golf courses and marinas.
The negative impacts of tourism development can gradually destroy environmental resources on which it depends. Because of the hot climate and the tendency of tourists to consume more water when on holiday than they do at home, the amount used can run up to litres a day. This is almost double what the inhabitants of an average Spanish city use. Tourists on expedition leave behind their garbage, oxygen cylinders and even camping equipment. Coastal wetlands are often drained due to lack of more suitable sites.
Evidence suggests a variety of impacts to coral result from shoreline development, increased sediments in the water, trampling by tourists, ship groundings, pollution from sewage, souvenir extraction. Such damage can be even more extensive when visitors frequently stray off established trails. Anchoring, scuba diving, yachting and cruising are some of the activities that can cause direct degradation of marine ecosystems such as coral reefs.
