Our world is a unique place and is filled with so much beauty; the sky, the grass, the sea and the land, together these form our world’s beautiful and natural environment. Many unique species of plants and animals depend on these habitats and mainly the Ocean, however with the continuous negative impacts of humans on our world, eventually everything will change and might become a problem that will have no solution. There are great negative impacts that are occurring everyday without us even knowing that they’re there, what major harm they are causing to our beloved home Earth and how they will affect our future on this planet. Together we can do something to help fix what has already been done and we can develop our current habits to eco friendly solutions, different routines and equality between the animals and plants that live amongst us to live together happily. One step at a time, each one makes a difference and by time they may lead to creating a balance between our two worlds in one.

The ocean is the Earth’s greatest natural resource. It is useful as it provides us with oxygen, food, transportation, and minerals/elements. What isn’t so great is the effect of climate change, and humans, on our oceans. In this article, you will read and learn about some of the drastic dangers that the ocean is facing, and what is causing such changes, such as overfishing, plastic pollution, etc. If we claim to love our ocean and planet, then we must take action. Stop using single-use plastics. Stop littering. We must find efficient ways to fish. We must find/use other materials and resources rather than plastic. If we don’t act now, then we will act when it is too late. The ocean is in a dilemma, and we must do something to help it.
