Everyone values those that are in their possession. Human's are rather a distasteful animal. They kill each other, they just don't care. Some do. They care about that of which they truly value. What about our environment? Our oceans? No one is standing up to protect those, and the few that are... are they getting anywhere? No. This is becoming a serious problem. Ocean's are all over the world. There are things destroying them. Many forms of life live within the oceans depths. People, and a lot of people, use it for recreational purposes. Humans really aren't too concerned. The ocean is a magnificent place.
The ocean is getting destroyed a little more everyday. Pollution from factories, cars, and waste kill the animals. People litter, causing the trash to get caught by the tide, or being blown into the surf by the wind. Every little piece of trash poses a threat to every living creature in the ocean. As our oceans become more and more polluted, what's that going to do to the Earth? It'll slowly die too. If our oceans keep getting polluted, well, that'll really hit us hard. Factories tend to allow their waste from making their products drain into the water. People allow the oil and grease washed from their cars to leak into the drains. Waste from all around finds its way into our waters. This is a serious problem.
Many creatures call the ocean home. From the tiniest organism to the largest whale, everything makes it a home. With the threat of pollution growing more and more everyday, each of these creatures can die off, become extinct. Let's say krill, little tiny shrimp creatures, were to die off. Well if they die off, many whale species will follow, since they eat the krill. If the coral reefs die off hundreds, maybe even thousands of species of fish, octopi, eels, and other organisms will die. Once extinct, there is no fixing our mistakes. Sea otters, playful, frisky, and feisty creatures, are dying off due to pollution. Oil spills, whilst not always preventable, take a serious toll on animals. Many creatures of the ocean are endangered. If this keeps going on, they'll soon be extinct forever. Certain creatures are being aided in conservation efforts. SeaWorld and some other organizations, SeaWorld being a largely funded amusement park, work on conserving the ocean's inhabitants and the well-being of the waters. They can't do it alone though.
Many people, hundreds, thousands, millions even of people use the ocean everyday for recreational sport. Fishing, surfing, snorkeling, diving, scuba diving, swimming, and more are all done in the ocean. Some are done in competitive games, some are just for fun. Either way, if our oceans disappear, millions of people will be out of a hobby. Also, many people will be out of jobs. If our oceans disappear, so will many fun things. To take away from our oceans, to better ourselves and destroy our oceans is wrong.
Pollution, creatures, and recreation. All can be used to describe our oceans. They're depleting. Humans really are a distasteful breed of animal. Many of us only value what is ours. Many of us do not care about the oceans or the creatures that live within its boundaries. Only few people are standing up and speaking on our oceans behalf, I respect those people. I am one of those people. I care.
