Give Our Oceans Some Lovin' It Deserve!

It has always been a dream of mine to become a diver and a volunteer to the ocean. And, that being said as a revelation, is one of the reasons why I am always on the lookout for news about marine biodiversity.  I stumble at these pictures and I can't help but marvel at how beautiful our oceans are. The belief that 'water is life' back in the old days still rings true until now. It will always be that way until we left this earth and have the next generations take over. I just cannot imagine how many people would say that they care about the waters when they were the culprits for its pollution. Seeing this crystal clear water with coral reefs beneath is a sight to behold.

Knowing that many turtles and tortoises thrive in clean water (including other marine creatures), we should be mindful about our actions such as refraining from throwing wastes and occasional plastic candy wrappers and bottles. I have read somewhere that many turtles and dolphins die when they ate these plastics. They have mistaken it for foods and after some months, these poor creatures die with all the plastics stuck in their stomachs.

Can you imagine how hard it is for them to live in a cruel environment? If you are the dolphin or the turtle, do you think you would survive in an ocean full of rubbish? Did you feel a slight thug in your heart because of all these brutalities?

Be a volunteer and give help by finding ways on how to take part on water activities with a cause. Share these issues and enlighten other minds by being a perfect example of a responsible citizen. We should clean up our acts and start within ourselves. Let's do this now before it is too late.
