Water pollution

Water pollution

In the article “ Coral Crisis: Global warming, trawling, pollutants threaten the world’s coral population,” the author says that there are many affects damage Coral Reef life such as worming, catch fish by wide net and pollution. Many scientists are afraid that due to global warming coral reefs will decrease to an extent. They found 70% of coral species are at immediate dangers and 20% of coral reef cannot be repaired. The international Coral Reef Initiative started an awareness year. This year is 2008, which is international year of reef. They hope to attract attention to this natural treasure. Ellycia Harrould is a researcher of with Oceana, calls for conservations of coral systems before they loss their multiplication ability. There are many causes for coral damages like raising ocean temperature. There are also man-made causes such as pollution, trawling, ocean acidification, and other influences. Coral reef systems are very easily broken and sensitive even though the fact that they are the oldest ecosystem on earth. Coral reef is very important to ocean life because it provides more than 4000 fish species with food. Its importance is like the rain forests on land.

The water in our plant is formed 70.8% and contains more than 60% of living being (creature). That means Sea pollution will damage big source of water and kill all creature, which live on it. For that reason Sea pollution is significant to discuss and study so we find a lot of scientist research about the solutions to avoid pollution. The main factors of sea pollution are spilled oil, garbage, and sewage.

Spread oil on the sea is big cause to kill all creatures, which live on it and birds in that area. There are many reasons due to spread the oil on the sea. First, the wars which explosion the petroleum factories then spread on the sea. In my experience, we had war in Saudi Arabia before 20 years, which is kills, all fish, birds, and all creatures. The effects of that pollution are continue until now; there are some of fish extinct and some people say the taste of fish not like before war. Second, drawing transport ships of oil, which is usually happening, around the world. Third, clean fuel tank then skip it on the sea, which contain a lot of oil.

Other main factors of sea pollution are sewage and garbage. In some countries getting away their garbage onto the sea, which contain chemical substances which kill the animals in the sea that is pollute it. Also, in the other countries put the sewage tub go to pour the dirty water to the sea which is the anthor reason to kill animals on the sea.

In conclusion, sea pollution is dangerous on the sea creature life and then it is dangerous to human life. We have to spread enlightenment about seriousness of Sea pollution through media and schools. In addition, we have to find solutions to keep our environment from damage.

Interesting place

People some time need to change their routine in vacation to be more comfortable. I traveled to different places and I was interested in many cities such as Chicago and Orlando because they have many interesting places. However, when I went to Smoky Mountains I felt different. It was a great place. I was very happy there because it had what I wanted. It has great natural places and entertainment facilities at the same time. I lived in a cabin with a mountain view and river on the other side; it was an amazing view. In the morning, we were going to Gatlinburg Mountains and hiking, which is my favorite sport. Some days we changed our plans and went to the theme park or museums. At night, we were going home to our cabin, taking a hot tub in front of the mountains, and reading book. Finally, I found a place, which combined natural and entertainment; it is the best place.
