Things We Can Do To Be Part Of The Ocean Protectors

By Carolyn Evans


It is not unheard of for major companies to dumb their waste into organizations. Ship tankers also may spill some of the oil into the ocean mostly by accident. This, however, can be stopped by ocean protectors. The ocean is a big part of our lives. It provides sea food and is even a source of income due to tourism.

Carbon emission is one of the major contributors to depletion of the ozone layer. This means that you should try and minimize carbon emitting activities. For example, leave your car home once in a while in order to save on emmissions. If a lot of people try it at the same time, it is bound to make a difference. The environment will improve, and there will be no longer need for green houses.

Sea food is a delicacy that most people do not mind indulging in. As much as it is sweet and has health benefits, it may be a way of making some species extinct. This is a terrible thing, but it can be controlled. For example, always order a species that is still plenty in number and campaign for other people to do the same.

Plastic is one of the things that should completely be eradicated from the face of the earth. It cannot decompose and so when it gets stuck on the ground, it kills the fertility of the soil. This can be changed by avoiding the use of plastic water bottles and even transporting stuff using bags made out of plastic.

You can organize or take part in beach clean ups. Many people like having picnics at the beach or just like sunbathing. Unfortunately, they leave the used paper plates or even water bottles on the beach. The waves or even rain may carry the waste back into the ocean, and before you know it, the ocean will look like a dumping site.

It is normal to see jewelry made from animal remains. For example, some people make bracelets and earrings from cow bones. People have also tried to do this with marine life. Some use shark teeth. This means they had to mill the shark so as to get the teeth. This is a violation of the law and under no circumstances should you purchase such jewelry.

Most people have pets. They range from birds to other animals. If you own a cat, do not flush their litter down the toilet as it may end up in the ocean one way or another. If you own an aquatic pet, do not just put any kind of fish in your aquarium. The conditions may be lethal to it, or it may be lethal to already existing animals in the tank.

You can recruit people into saving marine life. This is by mainly joining a group that deals in such. You may also start your own and lead it. Another option is to provide funds for already existing groups and help them raise awareness.
