Protecting Marine Wildlife

1. What role does the marine wildlife and nature play in your life?
2. How does the use of marine resources impact you on a personal level?
3. Specifically, what new thoughts do you have about marine resources and the way they are used by people?

1. Marine wildlife plays a huge role in an everyday life.  Animals help us in nature by doing many things. They reproduce to create amazing animals. Animals in the ocean also help the other animals in the ocean because they can be food for them. Wildlife affects my life as well. This is because the ocean provides us with many things like fish fir food. It also gives us a nice place to go in the summer to sit by the water. I love being in nature and love being near the ocean and all of the marine wildlife. It makes me feel happy and relaxed. 

2. The ocean faces many issues. One thing that the ocean faces is oil spills. Oil spills happen and you really cant do much to clean it all up. They can take better precautions to prevent them from happening. Oil spills are bad for the ocean. It sits at the bottom and kills some of the marine species that live in it. Another thing that effects me on a personal level is the amount of over fishing that takes place in our oceans. Over fishing is when big fisheries collect a bunch of fish, but when they don't want those fish they just drop the hundreds of fish that they just killed back into the ocean. This is a problem because fish cant eat the thousands of dead fish that get dropped into the ocean from the fisheries. 

3. I have so many new thoughts on marine resources. I had always thought that sea world was a good and fun place to be. After watching Black Fish my thoughts are so different. The fact that people take those whales from the oceans, and then take the babies away from their families are is so sad. I do not like sea world at all anymore. I will never go back their and i would never bring my children to a place where they take whales and keep them in a small cage for their lives. It is wrong to keep a whale locked up like that.
