The Effects Of Affliction On The Ocean

The ocean is one of the most biggest and exclusive gift to the mankind. It has been responsible to a quantum harmonizing of the ecosystem. Without ocean, the carbon dioxide would have clouded and generate a serious threat to the nearest sheet of atmosphere covering the planet. For humans and animals, it provides the needed unbeatable agent of our existence, oxygen. Foods in different forms have been stored in this giant earth occupier and life has been sustained in general through the ocean. It is a massive well of numerous known and unknown substances which includes plenty raw materials for domestic and industrial purposes. It has been an economy booster for global market. Through fishing and mining alone, nutritional and financial securities
This emanates from the effect of human use on marine environs in relations to the Open Ocean and deep seabed. The media to which human’sdeeds have spelt doom on the ocean are the inappropriateand intentional dumping of wastes such as sewage, and also, chemicals which are applied in form of fertilizers that flows out through storm water drainage system, combustion of fossil fuels, unregulated fishing, increased consumption of plastics and its materials. All these will have negative influenceon the ocean; the present generation and generations yet-to-be-born will feel this affliction on ocean. It is assumed that the ocean can lodge human’s waste due to its vastness but this is a very wrong
The idea is this;pollution is the inoculation of dangerous substances that are not compatible with a given ecosystem. Pesticides, oil, sewage, chemical (fertilizer) and other solid wastes have been the most dominant pollutants from man to the ocean. It also includes radioactive elements, heavy siltation, etc. According to a recent report from the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), plastics, particularly bags and PET bottles, are the most common marine waste in the world; in many regional seas they make up over 80% of garbage. Once all these wastes gain entrance into the ocean, they are consumed by aquatic creatures which are then consumed by humans with likely tragic effects. In Caspian Sea, about 60% of untreated wastewater is released into it, also in Africa and Indo-Pacific, the volume is around 80 – 90%. From analysis, it has been estimated that influx of Nitrogen in the form of Nitrate or Ammonium that will run off into the marine environs would experience an increase to 14%. It has also been emphasized that hazardous substances that are very toxic to humans and animals which are tenacious in the environment and also liable to bio-accumulate in living organism, including endocrine disruptors, solid wastes with an adverse effect on marine fauna through physical and poisonous mechanisms get through to the ocean bydeliberate or accidental discharges from
