Reading Oceans in danger
1. Think of all the wildlife that lives in and around our oceans. There are fish and dolphins that swim there and birds that feed on the fish. Now, imagine there is a floating island of rubbish on the sea.
2 . The fish eat the plastic, which is bad for them. The dolphins can’t breathe because they can’t reach the surface. The birds get caught in the plastic bags and can’t fly. 3. It is actually happening, and it is putting our oceans in danger!
4 . Half of the life on our planet is in the seas, but we are quickly destroying it. Every hour, humans throw over two million pieces of rubbish – especially plastic – into the oceans. The plastic breaks into pieces, but it never goes away. Like giant monsters that are swallowing the ocean, huge islands of plastic cover large parts of the Pacific and the Atlantic. Unless we can find a way to clean the oceans up, sea life will probably disappear from them.
5 . We humans depend on the sea for food, but many fish species are quickly disappearing. In the Atlantic the tuna is almost extinct, and everywhere sharks are an endangered species. One reason is that modern fishing methods are wasteful. Fishing boats use huge nets that trap large numbers of fish. Most of the fish they catch they throw back in the sea. If the oceans run out of fish, it will mean millions of people worldwide will go hungry.
6 . Most of us don’t see what is happening in the middle of the sea, but there are things we can do closer to shore. In many areas, water pollution is poisoning the natural habitats for wildlife. Chemicals kill the plants that fish feed on so they have to migrate further away. This means less food for all the other wildlife. Oil from ships affects birds. A seabird that has got oil all over it will try to clean itself by eating the oil – and along with it the chemicals in the water. If volunteer groups clean up these areas and take such birds to clean – up centers, they may survive. In that way, we can be a part of the solution.
