So, we have to conserve marine lives to save the marine animals from getting harmed!
Marine Conservation is to aim for the better for the ecosystems in oceans and seas. Not only does it protect but it also reduces the damage caused by humans while, also, restoring damaged marine ecosystems.
Ways to reduce global warming :
- Large-scale planting of trees to help absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Trees abosrbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores carbon, which cools the Earth down and reduces Global warming. Trees emit clean oxygen which purifies the air. They also provide wood, drinking water and habitat for animals.
^ Plant more trees to save the Earth!
- Encouraging farmers to use more natural fertilisers on their land instead of nitrogen-based ones
Usage or storage of some nitrogen fertilizer in some weather or soil can caused greenhouse gas Nitrous Oxide (N2O) to be released. Ammonia gas (NH3) may also released by using inorganic fertilzers. Nitrous oxide in the atmosphere can produce acid rain which can change the pH value of the ocean and cause other damages such as corroding buildings and kill the trees.
- Build barriers along low-lying sections of coasts to prevent storm waves penetrating inland.
- Reduce and recycle the usage of plastics and un-biodegradable items.
- Use public transport, walking or cycling instead of usual cars. This can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles.
- Build more hydro-powered industries and wind turbines to generate electricity in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
