The Ocean matters. The coral reef is a home to more than 3‚000 species of fish‚ 700 species of hard coral and around 100 other species. Scientists say that there could be 1-8 million undercovered species. If not protected all these species have nowhere to go and the undiscovered species will likely not be discovered. We cannot let these species die a whole ecosystem will be lost. Ocean Conservancy was created in 1972‚ they offer 2‚300‚000 jobs to people. Over the 25 years the organization was

In the article‚ “Oceans Are Losing Oxygen—and Becoming More Hostile to Life” by Craig Welch‚ climate change is affecting the lives of all kinds of sea creatures. This article explains how climate change‚ and the warming of ocean water‚ has began taking oxygen out of the water. This means that many fish species have shrunk because of this loss of oxygen. The warmer water speeds up the metabolism of these fish‚ which makes them breathe in more of the oxygen. A couple of scientists from the University

This is a problem that has been occurring for centuries and continues to be a problem today. Commercial fishing has driven many fish species to the brink of extinction. A scientific report done in 2003 estimates that industrial fishing “has reduced the number of large ocean fish to just 10-percent of their pre-industrial
