Clean Water Pollution

The Ocean has many ecosystems and animals that live and survive in there. We depend on some of the natural resources the ocean provides. We are hurting this by dangerous fishing and overfishing or overexploitation of the fish. The ocean has a great diversity

Ocean pollution is caused by many things,plastic,humans, and oil spills, we are trying to stop this. So many people just put the plastic in the ocean and people are trying to stop them. Two billion people within 30 miles of the coast create 100m of coastal plastic waste. We can help by reducing plastic in waste stream, and try to stop pollution. Another way we can help is by recycling (Doc.1). We cause pollution to by dumping trash and garbage onto beaches. We have to help protect oceans by monitoring the water to see if people can go swimming (Doc.2). The oceans have to stay healthy because they are a habitat to animals (OI). Another reason we have to keep oceans healthy because they are a big food source for us (OI). In

Oceans cover approximately 75% of Earth 's surface and are vital to this planet and the people who inhabit it. Oceans provide food, natural resources, and recreation for nearly everyone in this world. Unfortunately Oceans have been receiving mass amount of pollutants including oil spills, toxic waste dumping, and industrial dumping. These pollutants will have negative impacts on the wildlife in the ocean, as we are seeing already with the Coral Reefs, and soon enough it will begin to affect our lives as well.

Right now, the oceans are facing destruction. Each day new pollutants find their way into the ocean's waters. The pollutants that contaminate the ocean take many forms. Each year millions of gallons of oil are put into the ocean. Toxic materials are dumped into the oceans and add up to deadly proportions. Tons of trash such as plastics and paper are pulled out of the ocean each day. This trash contaminates the water and causes many deaths of marine animals. Everyone on the planet has polluted the oceans one way or another. Factories that are in various industries make an enormous contribution to ocean pollution. These factories use unbelievable amounts of water to make their products. The Natural Resource Defense Council says, "More than four out of every ten gallons of water used in the US are used for industrial purposes." A large amount of this water is dumped back into the oceans. This water is usually not clean, and may contain thousands of different chemicals. When this happens it can kill marine life, contaminate food supplies, and endanger people who use waters for fishing, swimming, or drinking. Water is also dumped back into the oceans by power plants who use it to cool reactors. This water is placed back into the oceans at high temperatures. Dumping water at these high temperatures causes a disruption in the marine environment. According to the book by Peter Weber, "The water from power

People are polluting the oceans which not only affects us but also affects the beautiful underwater habitats and interesting sea creatures. Two billion people within 30 miles of the coast create 100 metric tons of coastal plastic waste (Doc.1). This plastic waste can get caught around sea animals, injuring them or even killing them (OI). Oils spills can really hurt marine life (Doc.2). Some creatures could eat it or get covered in it. If the fish eats the oil and then someone or something eats the fish they could get extremely ill. When there are excess nutrients in the water algal blooms occur, which is when algae has too many nutrients and reproduces in large numbers, this can also hurt people (OI). For these reasons and many more we should

Another major health risk that occurs when our oceans are being polluted is that the seafood becomes contaminated with chemicals. Chemicals are beginning to move up the food chain and soon into our plates. Research and studies show that plastic is absorbed by animals when it floats in waters and when these innocent fish and marine life ingest these foods it is endangering the marine ecosystem as a whole.

Everything in this world we use comes from the ocean in some way. The air we breathe, the water we drink, even the products we use day to day, would not be possible without the ocean. That's why the issue of ocean pollution is so important and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. We depend on the ocean for so much in our life, without it we would surely become extinct. People seem to think that since the ocean is so large and vast, we can dump as much waste as we'd like into it and it will never have an effect on us. However, since we've been polluting the ocean as far back as Roman times, the evidence of ocean pollution becoming a major problem is all too clear.

Ocean pollution is a problem that can not be solved unless everyone is focused on doing so, our world will suffer drastically in the long run if we do not fix the increasing pollution, and its not just effecting the air we breath but also the food we eat because of water contamination. "The single biggest problem in reaching international agreement on a topic lies in convincing sovereign nations with different goals, opposing political systems, and fluctuating positions in day-to-day politic that their interests all lie in the same direction" (1, 106). Pollution gets into the sea from many sources but has the same effect, consequently swimming in our seas can make you ill. It costs big time to help decrease pollution and to study it. Poor or struggling nations will have a hard time affording it, which does not help because it has to be a world effort. Researchers calculated that $44 million a year is spent just protecting aquatic species from nutrient pollution, still there is so much pollution.

The Ocean affects the weather, the oxygen, the earth’s temperature, and shorelines. If we don’t know how we are damaging the sea or see its importance we might end up ruining the ocean and the world. Philippe Cousteau, grandson of Jacques Cousteau has stated,” Over the Past decades, as the United States has been exploring space, we’ve exploited and polluted our oceans at an alarming rate without dedicating the needed time or resources to truly understand the critical role they play in the future of the planet.” (Cousteau193). We have been abusing the oceans and haven’t been taking the time to understand the ocean. The world depends on the ocean in so many ways and we need to take time to understand what damage to the ocean has been done and how it will affect us in the future and present. In understanding the ocean and how delicate it is and how it supports life on earth, we will be able to protect and preserve

For the last few decades hundreds of human activities have been severely impacting one of our most important ecosystems and the life it sustains. Ocean Pollution also known as Marine Pollution is defined as the spreading of deleterious substances such as human, industrial, and agricultural waste, oil, plastic, chemicals and much more. An article from the NOAA states “Eighty percent of pollution to the marine environment comes from the land.” Humans are responsible for the destructruction of the oceans, therefore it is our obligation within every citizen in playing there part to keep our oceans clean. Ocean Pollution doesn't only affect marine life, but us as well. An article from PlanetAid.org states “It provides over 70 percent of the oxygen

Ocean Pollution has been occurring for years. It is important because trash and toxic substances are harmful to humans and animals. Animals are continuously dying either by being choked from trash caught around their neck or them mistaking it for food. Humans are responsible for overfishing. There is less fish species due to overfishing. Ocean Pollution is caused by people, natural disasters and animals.

The United States has had a problem with controlling how trash gets dealt with. The landfills have been full of trash and the input of trash is continuously coming in. Many times, the ocean is seen as a simple solution to get rid of mass amounts of garbage. This has made all of the oceans but more specifically, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, a home for many soda cans and plastic bags rather than Marlins and Great Whites. As humans, we rely on oceans for a main source of food. We have polluted our most influential life system that humans need to survive. As one of the most powerful and economically influential countries, the U.S government should be able to push a movement in the United Nations to get an Ocean cleanup program started nationally. This isn’t a problem that can be just left alone. Boris Worm, a marine ecologist with a PH- D in marine ecology said, by the year 2048, the ocean will be empty of fish, which could in return end life here on earth”. Boris is right, if we can not fix our oceans in the next forty years, it could be fatal to human kind. As stated before the ocean plays a huge role in a food source as well as weather conditions. For instance say that there was huge wind gusts blowing in from the ocean in Boston. Those winds are carrying deadly diseases from all the rotting waste that just sits in the ocean. Those diseases could be fatal for human kind, all because of where we put our trash.

Water pollution is bringing down the economy, destroys the beauty of nature, and causing harmful dreaded diseases and sickness in precious health of many individual.

Water pollution has many different meanings, in most cases it is when one or more material builds up in the water causing a problem for people and/ or animals. Water pollution is one of the world’s largest problems that we are facing today. Everyone in this world is affect by the earth’s water. Some are affected differently than others but we are still affected in one way or another. Water pollution doesn’t only threaten humans; it threatens plants and animals as well as sea creatures. Hazardous dumping of toxins and other dangerous materials is one of the most serious problems of sea pollution. Pollution of the sea can kill human beings as well as the animals. This paper will analyze the cause / detection of sea pollution, what methods are used in measuring sea pollution, the areas that are most affected, some of the most recent and current water pollution activities, and the ways that water pollution can possibly be eliminated.

India’s vast and developing population is putting quite a stress on all of the country’s natural resources. Most sources of water are polluted by unmanaged sewage and agricultural overflow. Even though the country has made some progress, water contamination is still a big issue throughout the country. Although access to clean drinking water has improved, the World Bank calculated that 21% of communicable diseases in India are still related to contaminated water. According to water.org, In India, diarrhea alone causes more than 1,600 deaths daily, the same as if eight jumbo jets crashed to the ground each day. Hygiene is another problem that affects India, in the city and in rural areas. In rural areas of the country latrines
