SAVING OCEANS
Seas are very
important for humanity and the whole world. They have billions of
creatures in it like fish, sea plants and mammals. We
know that some seas are polluted because of people.The biggest reasons
are industry churn, incorrect hunting, gasoline released from ships
and climate change... However many people throw many things into the sea,
such as cigarettes, paper, trash etc. without thinking about the
consequences.

Issues To
Protect The Sea
Education:
Before applying any activity in the sea, we must have a good
education. Without a good education seas will get dirtier then now and people
may cause the death of sea animals and plants.
Less Waste And
More Recycling:
Instead
of throwing our waste in the sea we can use the trash cans
and dumpsters. Also we must recycle some things instead of throwing
them away.
Controlling Ships
And Their Loads:
Ships must be
very careful with their loads while crusing. If a ship with chemical
load crashes, then all the chemical loads that are on the ship will
spill into the sea. The sea will be polluted and the sea animals will
die. Ships also realease all their dirty load in the sea.
Aware
Of Hunting Rules:
There
are lots of animals in the sea that are on their way to extinction.
To prevent that some areas have a rule of no hunting. But unfortunately people
don't take this rule seriously. That's the biggest reason why some
animals are on their way to extinction.
Contrubute Civil
Society Movement
People should become a
member of
civil society movement
in their country. This way they can work together to
protect marine life. If they contrubute their work to the education
minister, than the children can be aware of it.
These are two samples as civil society movement.
