"Hundreds of seals gather along the north coast of Norfolk to give birth. When the pups are weaned they clamber up into the dunes to avoid the bulls charging up and down the beach" by .Alastair Rae from London, United Kingdom |
"Every year, enough garbage bags full of plastic end up in the ocean so that, if spread out, they could line all of the world’s coastlines five times over.
Global warming of ocean temperatures from human-induced climate change has impacted sea level as deep as 2,300 feet where most ocean life lives according to National Geographic magazine.
But there’s still hope and time to turn things around.
In 2015, the world put in place the Sustainable Development Goals and dedicated an entire goal to protecting oceans. And there’s evidence that we can rebuild from the damage that’s already been done."
