Oceans

My big concern about the ocean is the massive pile up of waste growing everyday. We cannot see what is happening under our big blue waters but we can tell from the fish and birds that are coming out of it, that it is no good. The response we need to take is to clean and prevent the run off and waste and solid wastes being thrown into our oceans. Our oceans are big ecosystems that sometimes remain untouched and undiscovered. The reasons i think we don't pay enough attention to the ocean would be broken down to two things; politics and awareness. Because the ocean is international waters no country has responsibility for their damage to the oceans. Awareness is a big issue I find because, if you were able to see al the garbage in the oceans one would have a better understanding to the magnitude of the situation by comparing the amount of garbage on land. Other concern to waste I have is nuclear waste. The run off from the plant in  Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is creating an emergency disaster in the pacific ocean. Radiation is entering our fish and rainwater and slowly travelling to our coast. Hopefully Japan will smarten up and fix their problem before it becomes all of ours. The best thing to do is raise awareness because their isn't much I can do being landlocked. If i lived by the beach I could do a shore clean up or something of the sort.
