Pollution of the World Ocean: prerequisites and results The international sea is a big but fragile concept. This has become especially undoubted in the past decades, if the clogging of ocean waters has reached an unprecedented scale in the first place. But among these, with capital, water is not only dependent on the well-being of ecosystems - independently human culture is largely dependent on the World Ocean: someone has a great influence in the weather also on the atmosphere of the whole earth. It is for this very reason that littering the world's oceans has become one of the most fundamental environmental issues of our time. Let us describe the circumstances, consequences and possible solutions to the environmental issues of the World Ocean. The international sea is... More than 70 percent of the plane of our earth is shrouded in water. The size of the water in the World Ocean is colossal - 1370 million cubic km. The international sea is relatively divided by continents into the Severe Icy, Hindu, Calm and Atlantic. The sea creates an atmosphere in the earth: directions pour frost or a steam room with them, but moisture, evaporating from the plane of the World Ocean, will form clouds. If we talk about the population of the earth in the aggregate, in this case, more than One hundred million individuals live on the coast, their life activity in this way or in another way is associated with the sea. However, this can be noted about any of us, including these, who have never imagined the sea-ocean in any way. Since the showers that fall in the main regions are awakened directly in this huge ¡°weather factory¡±, approximately 90% of the whole fish is caught directly here, black gold often fluctuates directly from the ocean interior, cargoes move directly along the seas. In the event that society, according to this or that factor, lost the possibility of using the means of the ocean, macroeconomics would stand up, but society would plunge into disorder. But due to such an active and often irresponsible application, the International Sea is currently in a significant threat. Ocean littering is nature's #1 issue The formation of culture led to an increase in the pollution of the World Ocean. The situation has changed for the worse since about the middle of the twentieth century, what existed was associated with the formation of the chemical and oil refining industry. Today it is possible to note a number of types of clogging: * physiological. Waste, but in the characteristic features of plastic, which almost does not decompose, is a big issue for the purpose of ocean ecology. According to the plane of the World Ocean, a huge number of tons of plastic remains are slowly moving, while, according to the analysis of specialists, 80% of this garbage ended up in the sea from dry land, and only 20% was thrown off or demolished from ships. Garbage causes damage to more than 250 types of seafaring animals and birds also accentuates poisonous elements in the water; Fascinating fact Garbage thrown into the sea creates the most true floating continents, the most famous of which is the Pacific thin spot, which can also be seen from the ISS. This is a huge concentration of garbage in the north of the Weak Ocean. The speck area, according to the most confident analyzes in the future, is no less than 700 thousand square km. In this speck, it would be possible to locate 2 Germany. * bio. The clogging of the waters of the World Ocean with alien microorganisms, also with various microorganisms, but in addition with basic waste, constantly leads to the pathology of a weak environmental balance; * chem. Chemicals and serious alloys are used in a wide variety of industries. Together with sewage water, they end up in the sea, and in large proportions. In particular, the metal is dangerous, which accumulates in this amount also in active organisms, but also pesticides. But it's not only the big factories that are to blame for the chemical pollution of the ocean: enough chemicals enter the water from the sewer as well, since I regularly use artificial washing elements; * rod. Black Gold is also oil products - the main source of clogging the World Ocean. Black Gold enters the water as a result of man-made accidents, tanker wrecks and drilling of wells, but ordinary sea transport also throws off enough oil products. Rod spills lead to the death of a large number of seafaring animals, fish and birds, but in addition, they interfere with the usual thermal exchange among the layers of water; * thermal. The processed moisture that is thrown into the oceans by power plants locally increases the heat of the water, which leads to the social death of creatures that are in no way handy to survive the presence of such significant heat. This does not respect food chains also leads to the prediction of a large number of animal species. In this case, after all, during the period, certain varieties of algae begin to multiply very rapidly, the result of which is the flowering of water; * radioactive. The sea has long been transformed into a sanctuary of radioactive residues. According to the analysis of studies, today there are so many radioactive elements in the World Ocean that there are enough of them in Thirty (!) Chernobyls. |

The main problem is that people know that harm to climate is being done, they are slowly losing their resources but they pretend as if it doesn't concern them, as if it's gonna do nothing to them. The day people realise how this destruction affects them as well will be the day they are going to be serious about the climate and nature and oceans alike.

Hello Ilona, this is your mentor Hannah.
Yes, ocean littering, clogging, ocean pollution... which eventually seems almost the same, could be the biggest problem of present world ocean.
Even in our ambassador reports some portions are always related to issues in the ocean, such as red tides, biodiversity, microplastic, plogging... etc.
Thank you for your great article and please keep up with your wonderful work :)
Sincerly,
Hannah

Hello Ilona, this is your mentor Joon.
Even though the water is covering more than 70 per cent of earth's surface, people are not really aware of problems happening in the ocean. It is probably because it is not clearly visible and it is hard to understand its impact on earth. As a result of low popularity, not enough studies are made and climate campaigns are being held. Now is the time for a paradigm shift. Organizations should address what is exactly happening, such as microplastic issues, water temperature issues and so on, and raise awareness among normal people. That way, it would gain more attention leading to improved caring of oceanic environment.
Well read your article, and let's keep up!
Best,
Joon
