World Ocean Day

Our Planet Earth has bestowed upon us a wide variety of natural resources, that are capable of making our lives much more comfortable and are intended at helping in making a productive utilization of the human resource.

Humans have been, however, exploiting these natural resources for a long time in the name of their full utilization, which has compelled nature to showcase its fury in the form of frequent natural disasters that affect human existence considerably.

One such vital natural resource is water, whose major percentage exists in the form of seas and oceans. Human actions, have however caused the temperatures to rise and sea levels to grow higher, thus, resulting in droughts in certain parts of the world, while floods in others. All of this consequently leads to the degradation of oceans and the marine life that exists under the deep sea levels.

Human actions such as chemical production in huge factories, burning of fossil fuels, manufacturing and processing of items in the industries using toxic materials, and much more, often cause pollution of the environment, in all different aspects, be it land, water or noise pollution. Factories often make use of ocean water for their manufacturing processes, utilize this water, process it and release the hot resultant water back into the oceans, thus causing the contamination of oceans and a grave threat to the existing marine life.

Human beings are often engaged in unwise deeds which are majorly aimed at fulfilment of their selfish needs, without a major consideration for the harsh impacts these actions might have. Activities such as immersion of idols in the oceans as a matter of religious practice, bathing animals in the sea water and washing clothes at the ocean beds, often constitute a major part of harmful human actions.

We need to realize that our actions can act as a grave threat to the existence of this planet of us, which seemingly is the only place suitable for human survival in this galaxy, as of now.

Thus, it's time to join hands, spread our voice and take a step forward to preserve the natural resources Mother Nature has blessed us with and ensure the protection of our oceans which act as a rich source of vital minerals and an essential life supporting element, water.
