Oceans' Health

Carbon emissions can make the oceans and other
bodies of water more acidic and causes calcification or prohibits a shell or
the skeleton to form. Thus, the end of these marine organisms might be soon.
Due to our
garbage, most specifically plastics that we throw away anywhere and gets
through various bodies of water, can cause damage to our marine organisms and
impedes the way they form, grow, and serve the oceans.
Through all
efforts about eliminating and/or lessening the use of plastics, hopefully
oceans and its marine life form can be saved. But with reckless and imprudent
use of these materials, no matter how we eliminate and lessen its use, it can
still create harm. With all the wastes we throw in the oceans or its other
forms, it can drawback to us through the food we eat.
Fishes that
we consume can eat our waste, thus fallback to us as a consummate of our
health and the drawbacks will go on, and its cycle will just continue. It
aggravates me, in all ways, which these kind of pollution continues to happen
after all the reminders, campaigns and other educational reach has been and
continue to publicize to let the community know that we should take a good care
of these bodies.
In
accordance, the future is at stake for not having healthy oceans; which did not
happen overnight. The youth will soon not know how it feels like to see and
have the feel of healthy water that builds the ecosystem, its marine life forms
and how it benefits us in the long run. In this light, we may have the view of
all the artificial and man-made marine life to resort to a ‘looks like’ and/or
‘feels like’ just to compensate them to witness and somehow have the feel of
how it was like decades ago.
The oceans
are what keep us alive as a nation. Through various effort of the government,
media and other organizations, steps on how to maintain these forms in clarity,
cleanliness and its entire life would come from us, stakeholders.
