Our oceans sustain life, many oceans feed humans a healthy diet. The oceans are the origin of all life on this blue planet—- but now these are suffocating badly!
The Major Reason For The Problem: Pollution
How does our oceans are polluting rapidly because of the trash? It is pumped, dumped, leaked and even washed out with our laundry. Each year we exposed our oceans with increasing varieties of pollutants— oils & petroleum products, plastic trash, chemicals and more.
Let’s no one be left behind to stop pollution from racking our beaches and have healthy oceans that delight its sustain for generations to come. We can make change but we must act fast.
It’s a need of time to reveal the dirty truths worldwide about ocean pollution and share our part to protect them from pollution because it’s our social responsibility to keep our beaches and oceans clean.
Plastic Trash In The Oceans
Seal trapped in plastic
Our marine lives are being killed by the plastics. According to a report one garbage truck of plastic is thrown in the ocean every minute and 17.6 billion pounds’ plastic every year.
Plastic is everywhere in our oceans, floating on the surface, mixing in the water and sitting on the ocean bottoms, miles and miles deep and once it is in the ocean it never goes away. After hundreds of years it broke down into the small pieces and even a micro plastic is still plastic!
More Plastic Than Marine Life:
Scientists predict by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than the fish. The future of all creatures of the ocean is in danger. Turtles are choking on. Scientists say that over 60% percent of whales and dolphin’s species are affected by plastics.
Zooplankton, the base of the ocean food chains, is also affected a lot. We face a tsunami of throw away plastics in our ocean ‘s future. four times more plastics will be produced between now and the middle of the century, four times more!
Only 9% plastic recycle even if it’s recycled it can’t be reduced further and at last it’s down cycle and thrown away in the oceans.
Heart Rending Facts About Plastic Pollution:
Bird died due to eating plastic
Almost every piece of plastic ever produced is still out there, somewhere on the arctic ice packs, somewhere deep in the oceans! There are a million tons of plastic floating in the ocean, in our sea shore and islands.
Around one million birds die every year by swallowing plastic. And more than one million marine animals are dying every year because of plastic.
Oil Spills And Their Big Problem:
Oil coating on sea bird
When oils accidentally spill into the seas and oceans, it causes major problems. Oils spills can be very dangerous for the marine animals and sea birds. It can also make the sea food unhealthy to eat.
Oil can also coat the birds’ wings and make them unable to fly or strip away the properties of a sea otter’s fur and put them at high risk of hyperthermia.
