dangerous and unhealthy for the oceans, and also for humans. The ad contains an image of sushi wrapped in a plastic brown bag embedded with more plastic, rather than seaweed and fish. A pair of chopsticks lie beside the sushi as if someone were preparing to ingest it. In blue, capitalized, and printed largely on the ad, it states, “What goes in the ocean goes in you” (Surfrider). In other words, Surf Rider Foundation believes that what people are throwing in the oceans will come back to them in…

The Tragedy of the Commons is a principle that is linked to how humans use and abuse the world in the pursuit of our own self-interest. One example of the Tragedy of the Commons is humans’ overfishing of the oceans. By overfishing the ocean (the ocean being the “commons”) we deplete the ocean of fish and other marine life, which alters the planet’s well-being. The ocean’s well-being is imperative to many biological cycles that keep the planet running smoothly. Fishermen continue to fish at an…

Millions of sea animals are killed every year as a result of consuming pollution that is made up of manmade plastic in the ocean. In an effort to wake up the human population and make them realize what they are doing to the environment, the Endangered Wildlife Trust created an advertisement to make people stop and think about what they are putting into the world.

Most people don’t believe that they contribute to ocean pollution. They think it’s the big industries that create plastic and…

Surfing What is the best way to have fun at the beach? It's to go surfing. This is a famous Polynesian sport that has gnarly terminology. They also have various ways to surf. You may think you know almost everything about surfing, but you're wrong. I'm here to show a whole way to rip the waves. As you may know, surfing is mostly done in Hawaii because it's part of the Polynesian culture, but instead of originating in Hawaii it was first observed in Europe by Samuel Wallis and his crew, the…

As massive as the ocean is, seemingly incomparable in power to any other natural force, it dwindled in authority this evening. At the command of a deep, hearty, quaking thunder, a powerful concussion I felt through my legs milliseconds before the deafening roar commanded the attention of every beach goer in attendance that evening. The puffy white, cumulus clouds that formed giant pillows in the clear, sapphire blue skies, seemed to flee to find shelter, moving out hastily to provide space…

Keep Lake Tahoe Blue? Almost half the cars in the Lake Tahoe area have “Keep Tahoe Blue” stickers on them. Environmentalists are panicking about how one of Nevada’s most profitable tourist magnets is losing its vibrant, blue color. Environmentalists blame quite a few things that may contribute to the lake losing its color, but one of the most important causes of this problem is overlooked by many people. The first cause people often think of is boating. They think, “Oh, Tahoe is not blue…
