Marine Life Dangers
As the end of school draws near, and summer gets closer with every ticking second, kids and teens are ready to be set free from school. Now they’ll be spending all their time with friends, hanging out at places like the movies, the mall or maybe even the beach. At the beach, they’ll have a fantastic time playing volleyball and looking at the cute sea animals off the pier, but when the days over and it’s time to leave they get rid of their trash in the nearest possible place, the ocean. Those people don’t realize that they just threatened or even possibly killed one of the adorable marine animals that they saw earlier. Throughout California, hundreds of marine life animals are harmed each year due to pollution, fishing nets, and many more human made problems, in the ocean; therefore, MAR (Marine Animal Rescue) is rescuing as many marine animals as possible to simplify the problem at hand here. Thru many beaches along the southern Californian coast, marine animals are being entangled in fishing nets and getting sick from water pollution. The North Atlantic Right Whale is being researched because of mysterious reduction in species number, which scientists think many factors that contribute to the declining numbers are: collisions with boats, entanglement in fishing gear, failure to reproduce (from oil spills and toxins),and unprotected feeding grounds (“Threatened and Endangered Species”). When an animal is trapped in netting, it can cause much damage to itself: suffocation, cuts and bleeding, and more; and when surrounded by pollution, marine animals can become very sick and intoxicated.
“For over 20 years, Marine Animal Rescue (formerly Whale Rescue Team) volunteers have come to the aid of entangled or beached whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions and sea birds along the Californian coast” (“Marine Animal Rescue”). MAR is working diligently to try and help this problem with poor suffering
