• Over the past 150 years, all types of wastes have been dumped directly into ocean.
Include sewage, industrial waste, military wastes, entire ships, trash, construction debris, and radioactive wastes.
Significant amount of wastes enters the ocean through river, atmospheric, and pipeline discharge; offshore mining; and oil and gas exploration. (Environment.org)
It is estimated that fish trawlers and scallop dredges have swept tracks, cris-crossing the Canadian continental shelf, approximately 4.3 million km in length in 1985. (Cranford)
Problem:
• When garbage is dumped into the ocean, the oxygen in the water could be depleted.
• Bottles and other plastics can suffocate or choke sea creatures.
Solution:
Trying to keep as much garbage as possible out of the waste stream in the first place.
1) Recycle
2) Stop buying water. (Rowell)
Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.”
