Pollution results of Caribbean Sea

In the article “ Caribbean : Oil, industrial waste gunk up clear blue water,” the author says that we have asked international organizations for help to get solutions for environment problems and sea pollution. The main reason for pollution is few of sewage systems, ships waste, and the dumping of industrial chemical residues and poor handling of solid urban waste. The GEO-3 report pointed to oil spills as another danger for the Caribbean, and 90% of the petrochemical pollution in the Caribbean Sea is from industrial sources in the Gulf of Mexico. But the Mexican researcher says that is a big problem. Gold said that causes of the pollution is small and there are few natural bays. In addition, they will learn from others experiences to prevent pollution problems in the future. Gold attended the regional Workshop on Environment organized by UNEP of bays and Costal Areas in the wider Caribbean; representatives were from seven countries. Protocol identified pollution from local wastewater, agricultural waste, and runoff, and industrial waste senior showed the problems for countries which were economic in nature. The pollution in Venezuela is caused by the oil industry. Also, the mud and sediments from rivers flow into the Caribbean.

The pollution in our environment is a big problem, which the big problem we faced is the sea pollution. For that reason we have to find causes of pollution and the solutions to clean up and to avoid these problems. The author shows the pollution in the Caribbean is not critical and it is related to economics nature, which makes the cleanup of the Caribbean hard.

“In spite of the enormous development of the oil industry, as well as tourism and ports in Caribbean basin, the sitution is not critical, because the coastal population is small and there are few natural bays, gold is quoted as saying. We we are learning from others other’s experiences in order to prevent pollution problems in the future,” (Matos,2006, para.9). I don’t agree with gold about that because I think the pollution in the Caribbean sea is critical; even though the population is small the causes the sea is important resources for nutrition. Every one knows the big effect of pollution on the life of the sea and knows that pollution will spread to other seas and oceans, which will cause us to lose natural, and spread sicknesses among people who have spent a lot of money for health care.

“UNDP earmbarked $10 million from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) is administered by the world bank to fund environmental protection projects at global level they 176 member countries, 32 which are donors”, (Matos,2006, para. 23). I agree with the author with his program to support by many other countries to clean environments. In addition, I suggest making global rules for all countries to keep the environment, by avoid the causes, which pollute the environment.

In conclution, I think we have not ignore the treatment of the environment because it is very dangerous for human health. So, we have to make global rules for keep the environment and natural places and give support for help to clean environment.
