The Save our Seas Foundation is a foundation that works to help out marine life. They do research, spread awareness, and host conservation projects to help preserve the marine life and let people know that it is a problem today.
There are 5 Main Threats to Oceans:
- Overfishing: Overfishing is pretty self explanatory, people are fishing too much and are effecting the ecosystems that are set up in areas within the ocean because fish are caught faster than they can reproduce. People are fishing more as a result of a stronger demand for seafood around the world, and this is a main threat to Ocean Life as a whole.
- Predator Loss: When sharks, tuna and other predators in oceans are targeted and are taken out of play in ecosystems, it effects not only their legitimate prey, but also a lot of other things down the chain.
- Climate Change: Oceans have always been regulating the climate everywhere. It takes in up to half of the CO2 emissions that humans let off. Oceans absorb heat in the summer and release it in the winter, regulating the climate furthermore. Human climate change is gradually making the ocean more acidic, and if this continues, the marine ecosystem as well as the earth as a whole will be affected.
- Pollution: Pollution has continued to be a problem for ocean ecosystems for a while, because humans held the belief that if they dumped dangerous things in the oceans, it would just be diluted and not effect anything. Plastic and noise are two major pollutants. A lot of people don't know that noise in oceans actually affect the environments. Fish and mammals in the sea often use sound waves to find their prey as well as just navigation.
- Habitat Destruction: Overfishing, pollution, and climate change all contribute to the destruction of habitats.
I chose this cause because oceans are a really important part of our lives. And as seen above, they are in great danger. I am going to support this cause by getting the word out about how our oceans are in danger, and when I go to the beach, helping to clean up the shores and help in any way i can.
My personal favorite prom dresses are strapless. That is the kind that I want when I'm a junior and senior and go! I don't like when there is a ton of sparkles, but I don't think these dresses have too many. I mean, there are a few, but its really not overwhelming. I like the top, how its symmetrical and just pretty I guess! 2 people have dresses like these who are going to cotillion, except I'm pretty sure it is actually a light pink versus the blue, which is really pretty. I love these dresses they are gorgeous!
