this is our ocean! And it needs you! The Facts: Every year we catch between 1 to 2.7 Trillion fish! We over fish from our oceans and rivers to the point various fish species are becoming endangered like the wild salmon. Our annual amount of trash that gets dumped in the ocean through means of littering and other way equals 14 billion pounds a year. That is equivalent to the weight of 41,000 blue whales. Freighting ships cause so much pollution that every year they kill over 100,000 marine animals from the pollution of their carbon emissions. Those same carbon emissions cause over 125,000 new cases of cancer a year for human beings too. Its not just the marine life we’re killing, it’s ourselves as well.

3 leading causes for ocean pollution & harm: 1. Over fishing 2. Dumping Waste in the ocean 3. Freight Ship travels
