Write a short essay to show the importance of oceans for man.
Answers
Explanation:
How important is the ocean? Plants that grow in the ocean produce half the oxygen all of the world’s population needs to survive (The Nature Conservancy, 2014). The Carbon dioxide the body releases is also absorbed by the ocean’s waters (The Nature Conservancy, 2014). Medicine that is used to fight cancer and cure disease is formulated from ingredients from the ocean (The Nature Conservancy, 2014). Not only does the ocean keep the people of the world healthy but it accounts for 128 billion dollars of the GDP, keeping the economy healthy also (The Nature Conservancy, 2014). The ocean is a big part of what makes Earth a place where human beings can live and flourish. It is surprising that despite the oceans great importance people are still…show more content…
The market has to be able to increase supply for the people who are demanding the product. Harvard International Review states in an article entitled Big Tuna that “Bluefin tuna poaching has doubled in volume since 2007” (MIN, 2010, page 9). The doubling of poaching is due to the increased demand for the product of tuna. Due to the increased demand of for tuna are killed in large numbers in order to meet demands. When the number of tuna killed continues to rise the species are wiped out so fast they have no time to repopulate. This idea is known as overfishing (National Geographic, N.D.). Technology advancement is a big contributor to the elimination of species. For example both GPS and Sonar have made locating tuna easily accessible (Valasquez-Manoff, 2008). In the past fish could find logs or small trenches to hide in or under and escape fishermen. With sonar technology there is basically a map that leads the fishermen to whatever nook or cranny the fish could possibly hide in. When the fish continue to die there is no time for them to repopulate. The species having no time to repopulate causes the species of tuna to become extinct.
The air we breathe: The ocean produces over half of the world's oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. Climate regulation: Covering 70 percent of the Earth's surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns.
