The surface of our planet is composed of 70% of the water, which is divided into 96.5% of the salt water of the oceans and seas, and 3.5% of the fresh water that conforms the rivers, lakes and aquifers. But we have a big problem, we called contamination. 

How this affect.

In the actuality, most of the bodies of water that exist on our planet are in a very serious process of pollution and overexploitation. Marine and oceanic pollution is the presence in the water of any substance harmful to the environment and the living beings that inhabit it. Some of these harmful substances that have been thrown into the waters by humans are pesticides, chemical fertilizers, detergents, hydrocarbons, plastics and more things that make the life in the ocean imposible. To the oceans is where our waste goes.

 

 

The persons don’t make conscience about this problem, because they don’t see what will be the consequences that this gonna make.

With all the waste we make, the bottom of the oceans is full, this waste will be food for the species that live there. After this, some species will be disappear and we will have altered the ocean life

 

If you probably go to the beach this vacations, you will definitely find the remains of a family reunion, the remains of a baby who still doesn’t know how to go to the bathroom or the remains of the big party that was the last night. Most of this waste is cleaned by the people who take care of the beaches, others are dragged by the tide into the sea.

 

With this problematic, people will be affected because there will be no more fishing due to the disappearance of the species and the little that will be full of contaminants and may not be edible, besides that the flora that exists in the bottom of those, helps the production of oxygen for us and the animals, if these disappear, with time we will also do it.

 

SOLUTIONS 

We can’t reverse the damage that was caused, but we can avoid producing more.
We must avoid using any type of plastic, the countries should apply sanctions to people who leave their waste on the coasts.

We should make more associations that take care of marine life.

We really must make conscience about where trash is going to stop and what damage it causes to the life there.
