how can we help to stop oceanic pollution
Answers
Ocean pollution is caused by chemicals and other debris contaminating ocean waters. Oil spills, factory run off, and litter all contribute to the issue. Although some natural events, such as volcanoes, can cause some pollution, the majority come from human activities. Fortunately, there are many things that can be done to prevent this problem.
Water is one of the most valuable natural resources on Earth, and it needs to be protected. One of the best ways to do this is to learn about proper waste removal practices. Automobile oil, paint, and leftover cleaning chemicals should all be properly disposed of, and not just dumped down the drain, thrown away, or spilled on the ground. Any of these methods can affect the local water supply, and possibly lead to more pollution in the ocean.
People need to be conscientious about their trash and not litter. Following a recycling program can help reduce the amount of garbage that is being sent to dumps. Runoff water can carry garbage and other contaminants to the ocean, where they have the potential of harming wildlife. Individuals can also organize community cleanup days, especially if they live near a major body of water, such as the ocean, a lake, or a river.
