Oceans are indeed the major part of our Earth. They are the largest water bodies and home for an enormous amount of water animal's species. Additionally oceans are a considerable source of precious metals, pearls and crude oil. Oceans cover 71% of Earth's space. So, I am sure this space is pretty large. Now if I say that this huge space, especially in water, also getting a hit by pollution, then what would be you reaction?
Well, yeah it is the truth. Marine pollution is increasing day by day and guess what, who is to blame for it?
HUMANS. The source of all types of the pollution on Earth. Why would Ocean be an exception?
So, here we are, surrounded by oceans but that is also polluted.
Marine pollution spreads by the dumping the plastic, industrial, chemical and nuclear waste into the oceans. And they say, Water gives life !! In future it won't .
Marine pollution is increasing greatly and no one is recognizing this fact, instead World is more concerned about the Crypto currency pricing. Increasing marine pollution is threatening the life of water animals. Some are on the verge of extinction and many have already extinct.
So what are the Causes of Marine Pollution?
Well, there are many causes of marine pollution but the title of number one reason would go to - Sewage and Mining.
Sewage is the dumping of toxic materials, like - agricultural wastes, plastic garbage, chemical residue from the large industries, nuclear wastes from the nuclear plants.
Mining would include the extraction of precious metals, pearls, rubies and other chemical elements. A large portion of mining comes under the category of fuel extraction. You must have seen it in many movies, a fuel station is the middle of the ocean, pulling crude oil from the bottom of the ocean. Yeah, that's it. That's called mining.
How does it affect Marine Life?
Well, whenever toxic material mixes up with water, it create a toxic element which gets absorbed by the everyone residing in the ocean. So, basically all the fish, crocodiles, a variety of plantation and some insects are gonna die in near future if this toxicity in Water keeps on increasing,
So how do we solve it ?
Well, single handedly we can only limit ourselves from throwing the plastic garbage on the street or in the water directly. Rest, is on the governments. They have the power to keep a check on the large industries pushing enormous amount of toxic materials from their furnaces. They have the power to keep a check on nuclear power plants which excretes a huge amount of nuclear waste into the ocean.
Governments have the power to make rules and regulations on all these things which are happening right now, so that all this pollution can be controlled in near future and we get ourselves a pollution free ocean.
Because what goes around, comes around. If you would throw waste into the ocean, it would again come to you by mixing up in the salt created from the ocean's water.
So keep your surroundings clean and make others aware about this concern.
