The marine environment is seriously polluted
In the face of serious pollution of the marine environment and excessive development and utilization of marine resources, the marine environment and its resources have been seriously damaged. In the past 30 years, many coastal countries and regions have successively established a large number of various types of marine reserves. According to different objects of protection, these protected areas can be roughly divided into: marine ecosystem protection areas, endangered and rare species protection areas, and natural historical relics protection areas. Special natural landscape reserves and marine environment reserves, etc.; through marine reserves, the original appearance of the natural environment and natural resources can be completely preserved, biological resources can be protected, restored, developed, introduced and propagated, and the diversity of biological species can be preserved. Nature can eliminate and reduce the adverse effects of man-made activities. Therefore, the rise of protected areas has opened up new ways for humans to protect the marine environment and its resources.
Marine protection, international issues
The ocean is a complete body of water. The ocean itself has huge purification capabilities for transporting, diluting, diffusing, oxidizing, reducing and degrading pollutants. But this ability is not unlimited. When the toxic and harmful substances received by a local sea area exceed its own self-purification ability, it will cause pollution in the sea area.
Marine pollution is an international problem. According to incomplete statistics, 10 million tons of oil are discharged into the ocean every year in the world; about 1 million tons of DDT has been stranded in seawater. Protecting the marine environment and preventing marine pollution are the common requirements of all countries. Marine pollution is characterized by wide sources of pollution, many types of toxic and harmful substances, large diffusion range, far-reaching harm, complex control, and difficult governance. Therefore, marine pollution is more serious and complex than other environmental pollution on land.
The current situation of marine life
Some people may ask: Since there is such a vast land, there should be a lot of marine life, right? That’s right, my country’s marine life accounts for about 10% of the world’s. These sea creatures are like our brothers and sisters. But our brothers and sisters are slowly disappearing, why? Because of us humans. Everyone should know and ! It is a rare animal found only in China among so many countries in the world. It lives in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River . The wastewater discharged by the chemical plants built by us humans has polluted the water quality of the Yangtze River, as well as domestic garbage. …these ruthless pieces of rubbish destroy Their habitat was destroyed, making them homeless and unable to adapt to a very polluted environment. In the end, this national first-level protected animal , this ancient and beautiful animal, known as a "living fossil" The number of baiji dolphins is less than 5% of that of giant pandas.
Tibetan antelope is a national first-level protected wild animal. 99% of the world's Tibetan antelopes live on the plateau above 4,500 meters above sea level in western my country. Tibetan antelope velvet is light, soft and has strong warmth retention properties. Shawls made of it became a clothing fashion for wealthy people in the West in the 1990s. However, if you want to collect this kind of cashmere, you must kill the Tibetan antelope. Currently, there are only 15,000-100,000 Tibetan antelopes alive, one-tenth of the number 100 years ago. If we continue to persecute them and do not take any protective measures, the Tibetan antelope will become extinct within 20 years.
The numbers of these two creatures are constantly decreasing because their environment has been destroyed. If the marine environment continues to be destroyed, these rare animals will definitely become less and less, such as: the largest and heaviest blue among marine creatures. Whales, the number of blue whales is declining sharply due to people's random hunting and destruction of the environment.
In order to protect the ocean and protect these marine creatures, I hope everyone can throw less garbage and give more love, so that we can see more rare species, and for our living environment to be better, and to do more hands-on work , realize garbage classification, protect our environment, give marine life a home, and also better protect the environment where humans live.
