Three Main Factors of Sustainability
The world's oceans have a large impact on our life as humans. It is important that we keep the ocean safe from harm, so that we may continue to successfully survive on this planet. Our social well-being is directly effected by everyone's environmental awareness or lack there of and the way we choose to grow economically. The ocean provides many of the things we need in order to survive, water and food being the two most important. When it comes to the ocean's marine life, we as humans are the top predator. We consume large quantities of fish and other marine animals each year. The ocean provides us with a means of transporting goods and services between countries. When boats began to transport goods we were able to greatly expand economically, and trade began. Being able to retrieve goods and products from other countries has boosted our well-being as a society. Knowing that the ocean is so important to our survival, we need to maintain it's good quality so as to not only protect the marine life, but to continue the availability of these resources for our own survival. It is important for all humans, regardless of which region of the world they are located in, to remember that the environment is for all living creatures. We cannot continue to deplete our resources by polluting and endangering animals.
