protecting marine life

What role does the marine wildlife and nature play in your life?


Marine life plays a big role in my life and all humans. marine life can provide us with food and resources like water and things that come from the sea. humans depend a  need on the wild life. we depend on it to survive. 


How does the use of marine resources impact you on a personal level?
 on a personal level I feel the impact we have on marine life is not good. we kill a lot of marine life and hurt and damage a lot of marine life for our personal needs.  I understand that we need marine life to survive but we should only take as much as we need and not take more and kill marine life that we don't  need or use.  such as over fishing. 


Specifically, what new thoughts do you have about marine resources and the way they are used by people?
I believe having marine resources is good. it helps people survive and communities grow but at the same time I feel they are only good when we treat the marine life good and do not abuse or power. 


what Code of Ethics will you take to protect marine resources both now and in the future?
 a code of ethics i show is bye not going to sea world. finding out how sea world treats its whales is horrifying.. whales belong in the wild and not trapped in a bath tub their whole life.  the whale are not fed and abused by other whales making the whales emotionally distraught.  sea world is not a good place and i will not be going there

Project

This past Thursday I did not go on the field trip.  I worked on my project. 


Coral bleaching:
 my project was all on coral bleaching.  I learned how coral can become stressed and lose all of its color.  when coral loses its color it dies which effects all of marine life.  coral is the home to many organisms and with out coral all marine life will suffer.
    the way I found out all about this information is by researching the web and using multiple sources.  I really liked this project a lot and I enjoyed picking a topic of my pleasing.  coral bleaching is something that really interests me because I love coral.  I think coral is stunning and with my research I found that humans are one of the giant reasons coral becomes stressed. 
   we need to try to prevent bleaching because it harms more then just coral. and when all marine life suffers we all suffer.
