Why should we help the ocean?
The air we breathe: The ocean produces over half of the world's oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. Climate regulation: Covering 70 percent of the Earth's surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns.
Why is it important to protect ocean habitats?
Protecting important marine habitat is critical for maintaining healthy oceans and restoring biodiversity. Many marine areas serve as essential fish habitat, providing nursery areas for young fish, offering shelter from predators and providing a source of food.
What will happen if we don't save the ocean?
By 2030, half of the world's oceans will already be suffering from climate change, which will have catastrophic consequences for marine life. Hotter water temperatures mean that there'll be less oxygen in the water, so many animals won't be able to live in their current habitats and be forced to migrate.
Why should we protect our oceans for kids?
Protecting our oceans is a key part of this fight. The world's oceans benefit us in many different ways, providing us with food, influencing our climate and weather and offering us space for recreation.
How are oceans and seas useful to us?
We live on a blue planet, with oceans and seas covering more than 70 per cent of the Earth's surface. Oceans feed us, regulate our climate, and generate most of the oxygen we breathe. ... Every year, an estimated 8 million tonnes of plastic waste end up in the world's oceans.
What are 4 ways humans use oceans?
Throughout human existence we have relied on the oceans – for food, as a waste dump, for recreation, for economic opportunities and so on.
Why should we protect sea animals?
We can all play our part
Oceans are an essential component of the Earth's ecosystem -- a source of biodiversity, food, and life. According to FAO, over 40 percent of the world's population lives within 100 kilometers of the coast.
Why should we protect our environment?
Healthy ecosystems clean our water, purify our air, maintain our soil, regulate the climate, recycle nutrients and provide us with food. They provide raw materials and resources for medicines and other purposes. They are at the foundation of all civilisation and sustain our economies.
Can we live without the ocean?
Without healthy oceans, our life on Earth would be severely challenged, unpleasant and perhaps impossible. The oceans are the life support system of all living beings. That's because life on Earth can thrive without land, but it cannot exist without an ocean.
What would happen if all the sea life died?
The collapse of ocean bio-diversity and the catastrophic collapse of phytoplankton and zooplankton populations in the sea will cause the collapse of civilization, and most likely the extinction of the human species.
Can we live without fish?
Without them, life as we know it will not be possible. The ocean will no longer be able to perform many of its essential functions, leading to a lower quality of life. People will starve as they lose one of their main food sources. The effects of a world without fish in the sea would be felt by everyone.
