If it weren’t for the oceans, we wouldn’t be here today. Oceans provide food, transportation, energy, warmth, and water. Even the resources we have on land wouldn’t exist without the oceans. But people haven’t taken very good care of the oceans in return.
Oil spills kill thousands of animals and plants. Overfishing has decreased fish populations.
There’s plenty you can do to help the oceans. Try to use less plastic and waste less water. Plastic and other nonrecyclable materials pollute the oceans. The supply of safe drinking water is limited. If every person uses just a little less of these things, the worldwide savings will be huge.
