Article Summary 2

Earth Day: Are We Destroying the Oceans?

This article is about many problems humans have created for the animals in the ocean. Problems like overfishing, habitat destruction, global warming, acidifying, pollution from land like sewage, fertilizer toxins, and litter. Only a small fraction of the philanthropic money donated to green cause goes to conservation of the seas. Although only 0.7% of the ocean is protected areas, these areas can make a huge difference in the marine life. “…the damage that humans are causing miles beneath the surface must be addressed as well. This is our life support system,’" …"’We take care of the ocean, and we take care of ourselves.’"[1]
