Ocean conservation is the protection of the ocean and sea environment, namely from man intervened. The oceans and seas are vulnerable to the advancement of the human race. The ocean is also susceptible to manmade pollution. The fish and other water animals are susceptible to man's desire for food. Men also hunt fish and other water animals for sport thus harming the delicate water ecosystems. For many centuries, man has taken advantage of the oceans and seas, but there are some organizations that practice Ocean Conservation.
Work with Orcas or the fearsome Great White Sharks, and swim with the dolphins and whales, learning about their habitat and how to safely work with them. All this will be extremely valuable for your future career - and you will have a whole lot of fun too!
Considering their size you would think whale sharks would pose some danger to humans, however, in reality, they are docile fish and are not violent. Some divers have even suggested that the juveniles can be playful while they are in the water with them. One area where the sighting of a whale shark is reasonably common is in the Maldives, where a large preservation project of the coral reef includes the monitoring of whale sharks.
Research the Great White Shark- The Great White Shark is one of the most misunderstood creatures of the sea. However, this creature is an important part of the sea ecosystem and, as such, one of the animals focused on in the wildlife preservation programs in Africa.
The scientists and volunteers involved in the projects will spend some time recording their location so that their journeys can be mapped so the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme can make decisions as to their preservation and protection mechanisms.
Oil leaking from an offshore oil rig will kill all the creatures in the area of the leak. The oil will wash up on shore and destroy the delicate ecosystems along the shore. The oil will trap and kill marine life such as birds, dolphins, seals, and any other creature that is unfortunate enough to be affected by the oil spill. Everyone who cares about the environment should be interested in sea preservation.
Many coastal towns and communities around the world still heavily rely on fishing as the main source of revenue, which unfortunately very often undermines sea ecosystems. Fishing fleets annually dredge areas of the sea floor twice the size of the United States. These actions cause damage to habitats that may take years, sometimes decades to recover.
Pollution unfortunately gets into the sea from many sources and can make swimmers unwell and obviously adversely impact the environment for marine life. Conservation work in this area usually focuses on educating locals about the effects of pollution and littering, as well as obviously some clean-up efforts to help prevent animals from ingesting elements accidentally, which can have fatal consequences.
