Busy Saving Land Animals ? Good, But What About The Sea Life ??
While we are busy saving many of the land animals with few sea animals in the endangered species list, which can be a good thing but we are forgetting one most important thing ? The Sea life, yes you heard me the sea life but you probably will be thinking what about the sea life, we are protecting dolphins and whales too. Yes, we do protect the sea animals but it is not enough because this article talks about the almost completely disappearance of staghorn coral off from the florida coast and the 75% disappearance of the Kelp forest in Ocean where it serves as the habitat for many fishes as well as food for some fishes which causes a big drop in oxygen level since the kelp takes in the carbon dixodie just like the rainforests. There is also the increase in the whales being beached in Western United States because it was being sick or poisoned in the heavily polluted waters.
Global Warming and the increased offshore oil drilling are also affecting the life in Ocean because the ocean temperture and the pollution are raising at the alarming rate, so that’s few of many things we can save our ocean is by limiting the CO2 emissions, writing an letter to your Congressperson or Senator and tell them not to authorize any more offshore drilling which it disturbs the ecosystem in the ocean, and don’t dump any chemicals in the storm drain because here in california most of our storm drains leads to ocean so the animals in ocean will consume what you dump in so think twice!
