Dolphins - Resolution

-

 Last week, we talked about how dolphins are in danger. Today, we will discuss how we can save these enthralling creatures. 



1) SAY NO TO PLASTIC! 

We can't ban plastic completely, because it's everywhere! However, we can reduce the amount of plastic being used. You only have to minimise the use of plastic bags and other plastic products. These products don't directly impact us but once in the ocean, the same plastic is equivalent to poison to dolphins or any marine animal. If they ingest it, it causes them to either be heavily injured or dead. 

Instead, use natural or biodegradable products to cause less harm to dolphins and the ocean. For example, the next time you go to a cafe to get coffee. Take your own reusable coffee cup instead of the one they offer. 



2) Leave dolphins alone

One of the simplest ways to keep dolphins or any other animals safe is to leave them be. Most animals are harmless until humans go and mock them or act like a threat which leads them to become protective and attack. You should never attempt to feed dolphins, pet dolphins, or interrupt their way of life if you happen to see them in the ocean or in some freshwater rivers.

3) School Committee

As, a high-schooler or student, you can start a marine animal conservation committee similar to this blog. You can have fundraisers and beach-ups to raise more awareness. 



4) Dolphin-safe label

The introduction of a Dolphin Safe classification for tuna that has been harvested without any dolphins being purposefully chased, surrounded, or killed allows customers to make informed decisions when purchasing tuna goods, as their buying power can be quite significant. 



 As we come to the end of our first animal and first month and as the new year approaches. I want all of you to take a resolution. 

No matter where you are. Promise yourself that in the new year, you will be a more sustainable and ocean-loving person. You will think of it, in every decision you make. You will do what is best for the ocean because we can't lose it. 

See you next time, with our next marine animal 🐢,

Seashells and Sunsets, Prisha! 🐚🌅

Turtles - Dangers

-
Image
 A turtle has to face many difficulties in its life.  Somethings, like predators, can't be helped. They are natural. However there are some things that can be helped. For example, pollution, climate change, and so on.  Pollution Sea turtles are vulnerable to ocean pollution at all stages of life, from eggs to hatchlings to juveniles to adults. The toxic metals may concentrate in the liver and the kidney of the turtles. This can harm them greatly. Pollutants may cause immediate harm to sea turtles through direct contact or can also build up in tissues over time and lead to immunosuppression resulting in disease and death.  Degradation of sea turtle habitat from pollution also poses a threat and can occur over large areas. Sea turtle habitats overlap with areas most likely to be affected by offshore oil exploration and production.  Oil from spills offshore also washes up on beaches where it degrades nesting habitat, and can impact nests, nesting females, and hatch...

The Realm of Whales

-

In a huge ocean, whales are one of the biggest animals to be found.  There are many types of whales. For example: Blue whales, Humpback whale, Grey whale, and so many more. Let's explore the world of Blue whales and False Killer whales.  Blue Whales Blue whales are the largest animal to ever exist. They reach maximum lengths of 110 (33.5 m) feet and weights of 330,000 pounds (150 metric tons).  They are friendly and don't attack humans. They feed almost exclusively on krill-small shrimp-like crustaceans that grow to about 6 centimeters.  Blue Whales can live for 80 to 90 years on average. To date, the only known natural predator of the blue whale is the orca. However, despite this, currently the best scientific estimates for the blue whale population are between 10,000 and 25,000 globally. That is a very small number for any species, even a large and long-lived one.  FUN FACT: The scientific name of blue whales is Balaenoptera musculus.  False Killer Whales...
