  1. do you want to know more about the pollution in the ocean?
  2. There are more than 5.25 trillion pieces of moist in the ocean
  3. to reduce the amount of trash oil and other dangers that go in the ocean.
  4. We are informing
  5. the class on why, how,
  6. where and what we need to do to keep the marine environment healthy and living.
  7. Why should we protect and restore the ocean's ecosystems? Is there any real need to?
  8. It's not like it does anything for us.
  9. It would be pretty unreasonable for someone to think that way. And to
  10. there are so many, so many ways that the ocean benefits not only us,
  11. but other living organisms around the world.
  12. Now we wouldn't even know about.
  13. Besides, we've only explored 5% of the ocean.
  14. We know more about space than we do about our own oceans in our backyard.
  15. Now to get to the meat of the situation,
  16. the ocean is dying and there's no other way to say it
  17. habitats that are homes to billions or maybe even trillions
  18. of living organisms are dying over fishing
  19. is destroying food chains and ecosystems.
  20. And we think it's not that big of a deal for some of us
  21. oil spills from tanker accidents and tourists not thinking twice about their
  22. environment and tossing their water bottles or shopping bags into the ocean.
  23. Without a second thought.
  24. From 2008,,
  25. the world lost 14% of existing habitats and coral reefs along.
  26. 40% might not sound like a lot,
  27. but 14% is equivalent to 4,517 sq mi of homes and habitats.
  28. So back to the real question,
  29. why should we protect the ocean's ecosystems?
  30. Well, there are quite a few ways that we know the ocean helps.
  31. Number one, the oceans employ 56 million people worldwide.
  32. While the results of the ocean affects 660 880 million
  33. people rely on the ocean as a way of life.
  34. Number two, home is home to 80% of earth's biodiversity.
  35. Number three provides
  36. renewable energy consistently.
  37. Number four
  38. regulates our climate with the help of Plankton and Kelp forests.
  39. Uh number five affects the weather,
  40. with the ocean being responsible for absorbing 25%
  41. of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
  42. Okay,
  43. these are the many different ways to help protect and restore
  44. the ocean and some of these are the reason why we should
  45. these things that the ocean does for us are crucial for our
  46. survival as land mammals and we don't do anything about it soon,
  47. it could pose a serious threat to all life on earth as
  48. soon as the situation gets more and more out of hand,
  49. how is the ecosystem effective?
  50. The damage in the ecosystems are mainly caused by climate change
  51. and pollution as the climate and alter where species live,
  52. how they interact in the timing of biological events,
  53. which could fundamentally change current ecosystems and food webs,
  54. natural processes like wind, rain,
  55. predation and earthquakes can deeply impact the ecosystem as well.
  56. The ecosystem is also affected by humans when they reduce the habitat over hunt,
  57. broadcast pesticides or fertilizers and other influences.
  58. Okay,
  59. where is it the worst
  60. A turtle swimming in the ocean when it sees a jellyfish, he eats it.
  61. But it's not actually a jellyfish,
  62. plastic grocery bags.
  63. There's a countless amount of waste and pollution in the ocean,
  64. including the grocery bags.
  65. But the worst
  66. is the Mediterranean Sea.
  67. There are about 200,000 tons of plastic
  68. thrown into the Mediterranean waters every year
  69. because of the amount of plastic waste in the water.
  70. See wildlife is decreasing in many species are becoming extinct.
  71. What can we do to help?
  72. Well, there are many ways to protect our ecosystems, but eight to keep in mind,
  73. we can start by cutting back on energy, controlling the use of water
  74. fishing, responsibly decreasing waste and vehicle pollution,
  75. lessening pollutants and buying less plastic by using reusable bags
  76. and lastly respecting the habitat
  77. for instance.
  78. Now we're expecting to have the ecosystem is like not caring for your pets
  79. ecosystem will become more political with toxins
  80. and contaminants that will have a harmful
  81. impact later on as the living things and plants would be affected as well.
  82. Thank you to the food and agricultural
  83. organization of the United States National Ocean
  84. Service Marine Conservation Organization a dive into
  85. junk and main areas of ocean pollution
  86. for allowing us to use their resources for this project
