This blog was made solely for marine animals that are facing a major crisis of extinction and also to let people know more about these magnificent creatures.
Majority of the marine animals are endangered due to :-
- Oil spill
- Toxic waste
- Fishing competitions
- Fishing nets
- Inconsiderate human beings who throw rubbish into the sea or river
- Various fishing methods
- Greed for money
- Low birth-rate for some sea mammals
- High mortality rate
- Incidental catches
These are only a few factors that marine animals have to face. The fact that us, human beings do not understand them just makes matter worse. Because we don't understand them, we are fear these unique creatures. And our way to eliminate our fear of something, is by eliminating them! On land we are the ones on top of the food chain, which makes us the top predators. However, in the vast open sea, we lose that power. We no longer are the top predators, sharks and other animals are! When we enter the sea, we are entering their world.
Surfers, divers and marine biologists understand that they are the ones who are the invaders and not the other way round. The ecosystem will not function the way it does now if these animals are taken out of the picture. People should learn more about them and eliminate these fears about them and learn to live with them.
