Ways Of Becoming Ocean Protectors

By Carolyn Evans


The earth is made of 70% water. The biggest chunk of this makes up the oceans. The water part of the world is a whole new world. The ocean is home to a lot of marine life. It is also a major attraction for tourists who love to see marine life or even go diving. This, however, may prove impossible if the oceans are destroyed, and there are no ocean protectors.

As an individual, you may choose to reduce the amount of energy you use in a day both at home and at work. For example, instead of using an air conditioning unit in the hot afternoon, you can open the window and let the cool breeze in. If your office is on the second floor or the third, you can use the stairs when you are not in a hurry.

If you are a fan of sea food, you have a chance to make a difference. There has been a significant drop in the number of fish globally. Many have been over eaten while others do not have the right habitat to survive. So, as you order sea food, try to order species that are not in danger of being wiped out.

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.

For those who like giving back to the community, they may do so by cleaning up the beaches and rivers along the river bends. Many people like walking along the beach or even having a picnic at the beach. They leave all the plastic garbage there, and it is somehow pushed into the water. Such behavior has led to the sea becoming a dumping place.

Do not ever buy things that directly harm marine life. This is usually inclusive of a lot of jewelry products. For example, you may find a necklace decorated with shark teeth. It is impossible that the shark pulled out their own teeth and gave it to jewelers. To avoid loss of marine life avoid purchasing such products.

Some people like owning exotic marine animals as pets. At some point, they may choose to release them back to the wild. Before this happens, make sure you know the kind of surroundings the fish is supposed to be in. If you release it just to any water body, you may risk endangering the lives of other marine life or even that of the fish in question.

Start or invest in an organization that majorly deals with the conservation of marine life. These organizations are a way to preserve marine life and all that is inclusive. This will go a long way in some day completely changing the aquatic life.
