Animal Sustainability
Introduction
Do you know how many marine animals die a year? Well, about a million seabirds die a year and about 300,000 sea mammals die each year. There is a lot of ways they die. One of the most common cause of their death is pollution. There are a lot of types of pollution.
About Pollution
The most common type of pollution is rubbish. Every year people throw away a lot of rubbish and other people have to pick it up. One day, a bunch of students had to pick all their rubbish. The second most common pollution is oil. Oil is very poisonous to marine life, like dolphin because oil can block their blowholes and they breathe from their blowholes.
Fishing
Fishing is something people do as a hobby, but sometimes people can overdo it. When you overdo it then there won’t be a lot of fish left. In 2012 fishers over did it to about 1100 more fish than normal. If we overfish, then people who love fish won’t be able to have any fish. Also, fishing can make your back hurt and it is very tiring.
Ships and boats around Marine life
What if the ships contains oil and the oil can spill out. After the oil spills out, the sea animals get poisoned and get sick. Then after they get sick they die. Also, some sea animals can get crazy/metal around ships and boats. Many ships/boats make fish uneasy because they might think that they're going to fish.
Conclusion
As you can see, their are not a lot of fish left because of a lot of reasons. We should stop killing marine animals. We might even lose a lot of food and a lot of people like fish. Also, fish is very good for health and it turns your brains on. I don’t think anyone would want shark fin perfume or shark fin soup!! Well, if you don’t want it, then stop killing fish!!!!!! Thanks for reading!!!
