Human Activity Is Leading to ‘A Major Extinction Event’ for Sea Life

According to a new study the world’s oceans may be at risk of extinction. Dr. Douglas J. McCauley, one of Pinsky’s colleagues and lead author of the new study, the world’s oceans are still mostly intact, at least compared to the situation on land. If overfishing, excessive pollution and other harmful factors were to be dramatically cut back today; the oceans could almost completely revert back to what they were before humans started destroying them. The ability of large trawlers to sweep the seas for fish and shellfish, for instance, has increased yields but at the same time depleted many areas of sea life. In my opinion humans are not grateful enough to protect our oceans and realize that were are the cause of all animal extinction. We if don’t do anything to stop we are going to regret what we have done later on. The sad thing is that we are not only harming the animals that live in the ocean but also in land for example the black rhino. The mountain gorillas are also become extinct because our fault for example they can die from the common cold. Inside gorilla’s habitat, in Virunga National Park, people harvest charcoal for use as a fuel source in cooking and heating. This charcoal production, an illegal and multi-million dollar industry, has destroyed gorilla habitat. In conclusion I think we can do different positive things to help these creatures live longer and not die fast because of us.
