collective, or the human race. Does that simple rule of cleaning up messes still hold true? Oceans take up a large portion of the earth’s surface, and were once seen as an all-encompassing, limitless reservoirs, quite able to bear the brunt of the human race. This, however, is not true as is becoming increasingly apparent. Over a few decades, humans have managed to dump tons upon tons of garbage into the ocean. Around 80 percent of marine litter originates on land, and most of that is plastic.…
The primary causes for ocean acidification include carbon dioxide pollution, an effect caused by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. The carbon dioxide accumulates quickly, entering the ocean and increasing ocean acidity, so fast that the organisms cannot adapt quickly enough. It is most problematic in cold water regions and places where deep water wells up to the surface, as not only would co2 rates rise faster, it is also the location for many fisheries. Coral reefs are also at…

making. Today, I write to you to express my concern about one specific issue, ocean acidification. Ocean acidification is often swept under the rug when it comes to talking about pollution and climate issues. It is a difficult concept to grasp and care about as we do not see it every day, however, it is a danger to not only our way of life but human life in general. Ocean acidification refers to a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by uptake of…
The Ocean of the Streams of Story proposes water and stories are alike. It describes stories and water as something similar, something related to one another. As if they have a similar meaning; a connection. Water is something that you can't hold, but you can feel and see, something that you need to stay healthy, which I feel in this book is true for stories. Rashid lived telling stories, that was his life, and his reason for being happy, but when he lost that he became miserable and started…
The article demonstrates the extreme damage that the remaining plastic particles pollute the ocean and result in the deaths of marine lives, for instance, fish, sea turtles, sea birds and marine mammals. It straightly emphasizes the plastic problem at the beginning with statistics which show the significance of this issue. Thousands of tones of plastics flow into the ocean, which not only pollute the water, but also endanger the ecological system. Furthermore, the article discusses specific…
could possibly litter by the shore or all the sewage being dumped into the ocean. These problems date back to the Industrial Evolution for more technology was being created to speed up and increase production. The first negative pollution was the smog created from burning coal in the 18th and 19th century. Just like air pollution, our water has been faced with a similar issue. Many companies have pipelines leading into the ocean and it being where all our rear excrements are sent off to. It is…
of the ocean? If not then there are gonna be changes to come, because as of now it has been recorded that nearly 10,000 tons of rubbish have been dumped into the oceans, not including all the oil spills that have occured. All this pollution to the marine life has been not only ruining human lives, but marine mammals lives, eventually leading up to their deaths. Countries all over the world should better enforce their laws about littering on beaches, which is the number one cause of the oceans…
