4 Essential Questions- Cody

What, specifically about your topic, are you going to research?
1. I will research the man made causes to ocean pollution

  1. What conclusions did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference? Be specific. This is the main part of your assignment.

2. Over 80% of ocean pollution come from human activity. Garbage dumping is the most common form of ocean pollution and is getting worse every year. This cause the extirpation of deep sea plants and animals. Garbage from as long as 20 years ago still floats around in the waters and the longer it is in the water the more things get infected. This trash is getting into fish and choking them. Toxic wastes are poisoning the plants and animals. However there are ways for seamen to stop this phenomenon from spreading into to big of a problem. First don't turn your engine on fully unless you need it. Also buy a new marine engine every year. Now i know people hear this all the time but riding a bike can help our waters because the co2 won't get in and contaminate the water. Another thing that can cut down on pollution is recycling. The recyclable plastics are choking fish.So are the paper particals in the water.

What would happen if, worst-case scenario, nobody listened to your recommendations?

3.If no one listens to my suggestions it will only get worse and may lead to more severe consequences. Including the extinction of marine life.

4.If everyone followed these guidelines then we can save the ocean and prevent other damages to our eco system. It will mostly help earths waters and will save the marine life around the globe.
