Pollution, plastic waste, and unsustainable land practices contribute to habitat destruction, water contamination, and the decline of marine species. To help, we can reduce single-use plastics by opting for reusable bags, bottles, and containers, ensuring less waste ends up in the ocean. Supporting sustainable agriculture by choosing organic and locally sourced foods helps reduce harmful pesticides and fertilizers that run off into waterways. Proper waste disposal, recycling, and participating in beach or river cleanups prevent trash from reaching the sea. Additionally, reducing our carbon footprint by conserving energy, using public transportation, and planting trees helps combat climate change, which directly affects ocean temperatures and sea levels. Protecting the ocean starts on land, and every action we take contributes to the health of our blue planet.
