  1. Hello, I am London. This is my exhibition. It's about ocean pollution.
  2. Ni hao
  3. London
  4. I first developed free lines of inquiry to
  5. help me find out more about ocean pollution.
  6. My lines of inquiry were
  7. what is ocean pollution?
  8. What is the effect of ocean pollution and how can we stop ocean pollution?
  9. I chose to find out more about ocean pollution because I think
  10. the seeds are very polluted and I want to make a difference.
  11. Firstly, I want to I would like to explain what exactly is ocean pollution.
  12. Marine pollution is a combination of chemicals and trash.
  13. Did you know there is more plastic than fish in the ocean?
  14. eight million metric tons?
  15. That's how much plastic we dump into the ocean each year.
  16. Woman, mainly in shang hai.
  17. There are many causes of ocean pollution.
  18. Intentional discharge is one of the biggest problems
  19. discharge of plastics is a problem. Scientists have estimated that up to
  20. 100 million metric tons of plastic trash, which doesn't degrade easily,
  21. are in the world's oceans,
  22. discarded fishing nets and other plastics can entangle wildlife,
  23. potentially restricting their movement,
  24. injuring or even starving them.
  25. Dolphins, turtles, crabs, crocodiles,
  26. sharks and seabirds are especially vulnerable.
  27. Oil is one of the big problems that earth is facing.
  28. Oil spills are more common than you might think,
  29. and they happen in many different ways.
  30. Oil spills can coat the feather of birds,
  31. making flying impossible and removing the natural insulation
  32. and the waterproofing that the feathers provide.
  33. This leaves the birds suspect a ble to hypothermia or even overheating
  34. attempts to remove the oil through printing also causes birds to swallow oil,
  35. which causes organ damage.
  36. Carbon dioxide unknown greenhouse gas is making our oceans more acidic.
  37. This is contributing to a loss of quarrels on a global scale,
  38. as their calcium skeletons are weakened by the increasing acidity of the water.
  39. You can reduce carbon by
  40. carbon polluting by adopting some of these simple measures,
  41. ride a bike walk or use public transportation rather than driving a car.
  42. Or you can just turn off the lights when you leave a room
  43. wherever humans live.
  44. They are part of the problem and the solution to ocean pollution.
  45. I hope that this collection of resources and information
  46. will inform other people about the types of pollution,
  47. pollution harming our ocean and that they learn about
  48. actions they can take to prevent further pollution,
  49. no matter where they live.
  50. Thank you for listening. Bye.
