Introduction
Types Of Harbours
️ A fishing harbour is where fishing boats bring back fish 🐠. Commercial harbours are big and busy, helping to transport goods, like boxes and toys 🚚📦. There are even yacht harbours where people keep their fancy boats! 🛥
️ Sometimes harbours are protected by breakwaters, which are thick walls built to keep the big waves away 🌊.

History Of Harbours
For centuries, sailors used harbours to travel, trade, and catch fish 🐟. The Romans made big harbours in places like Ostia, Italy, to help their ships. As technology grew, harbours got bigger and better! Today, harbours have special equipment to help with loading and unloading cargo, making them super busy places filled with action 🚢!
Marine Life In Harbours
Animals like fish 🐟, crabs 🦀, and sea turtles 🐢 can often be found in these busy waters. Some animals love to live in the spaces between rocks and boats! When fishermen go to harbours, they catch many fish, keeping the balance in nature. However, sometimes too much fishing can hurt the marine life, so it’s important to protect them 🌊💚. Some harbours even have rules to keep animals safe while people enjoy the water!
Harbours Around The World
The largest harbour is the Port of Shanghai in China, which is super busy 🚢! In New York City, the famous Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island, which is near the busy harbour. 🚢
In Australia, the beautiful Sydney Harbour 🏙️ is famous for its spectacular views, including the Sydney Opera House 🏛️! Other notable harbours include San Francisco Bay 🇺🇸 and Hong Kong Harbour 🇭🇰. Each harbour is unique and plays a role in its community and economy!
Economic Importance Of Harbours
️ Harbours let big cargo ships 🚢 bring in fruits, clothes, and toys for us to enjoy! They also offer jobs for people, like fishermen 🎣, dock workers, and tour guides. Harbours help supply food 🥕 and materials needed for making things. So, they help people earn money while keeping everyone happy!

Environmental Impact Of Harbours
Sometimes, pollution from boats and cargo can pollute the water, affecting plants and animals. 🐋
That’s why many harbours are working hard to go green! 🌱
They are finding ways to reduce waste and protect the ocean. Some even plant underwater gardens and create special places for animals to live. Keeping harbours clean is very important for our planet! 🌏
