TOPIC:
My Biology class is starting our new project, Oceanography. Hence the title of the project, each team was given a topic having to do with the ocean ranging from human health, art, chemistry, and pollution which my team was assigned. Which I’m super excited to be learning about. Cause/How to Prevent Pollution: The subtopics I chose concerning pollution was ‘what are the types of pollution,' - from oil spills, sewage, toxic chemicals and other sources-and’ how can we prevent it on a large and small scale.’ I also will touch briefly on how pollution in our oceans affects the people and creatures that depend on them. The effect of pollution is a lot larger than most people might think. Pollution can disrupt the food chain by damaging even the smallest of sea creatures, which might seem insignificant, but are really essential to maintaining a balanced and healthy ocean. Pollution also damages the well being of people who depend on it on the ocean and the food provided by the ocean, such as the chemicals from the fish we eat can be transmitted into us, and the overall health of the ocean. Some ways each one of us could easily prevent the amount of pollution, that don't require the stricter government regulations on industry and manufacturing renewable energy sources so off-shore drilling no longer needed, is to recycle, reduce the consumption of plastic, use less electricity, or volunteer at one of your local beaches cleanups. What I want People to Realize/Take Away: For me, I want my presentation, blog posts, art piece(s) or whatever else I do that concerns this project, is to have people realize that pollution does have a huge effect on our oceans, and the people and creatures that depend on them. Not only that, but pollution doesn’t have to be stopped by the government, but you start helping by doing simple things such as helping volunteer for a beach cleanup, or even just recycling.
