How Do You Protect Oceans From Water Pollution?
The oceans appear beautiful, pristine, unchanging. But beneath the surface are untold problems caused by man: dying fish, dangerous bacteria and huge dead zones. Pollution of our world’s oceans should be everyone’s concern, but what can we do about it? We can work together to eliminate the problems that cause ocean pollution. Here’s how. Devote an afternoon to picking up trash instead of stepping over it. If every vacationer would clean up after themselves and take ownership of cleaning up an area of the beach, our beaches would be a lot cleaner and safer. Plus, others will see you doing it and catch on. Correct leaks in any engine you own, including cars and boats. A tiny oil leak from your car can wind up in the ocean as rains wash the runoff into the water. Collectively, oil leaks and other small problems prove disastrous for our oceans and the creatures that inhabit them. Recycle motor oil and other household chemicals properly.
