The Not So Great Barrier Reef: Ocean Pollution
The oceans plays an important role in our lives and are critical to our health. The oceans have an impact on the temperature and weather, which results in determining floods, rainfall and droughts.
In order to protect our oceans, we must prepare for an ongoing changing climate and to address the main causes of global warming that are putting our marine environment on the line of extinction.
In order to improve our oceans, we must set achievable outcomes and achievable targets. Here are just a few things that are being done to save our oceans:
- Improving water quality
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is advocating to put a legal cap on pollution. Laws and regulations like this need to be available in order for farm pollution to stop flowing into our oceans.
- Coral bleaching on the Reef
In order to slow down the warming of our oceans, we must attempt to switch to 100% renewable power by the end of 2035. If this is not attempted, The Great Barrier Reef will further be affected by the mining and burning of fossil fuels.
- Reforesting through climate change
Introduce climate finance solutions to more countries who are struggling from the threats of climate change so that we are able to restore, rehabilitate and reforest.
The quicker we save our oceans, the quicker we save the marine wildlife, the quicker we save ourselves.
