The beautiful blue-green ocean looks as pretty as the sky but, it is not nearly as big.  The ocean is bigger than all the land masses on earth put together. It covers 70% of the Earth’s surface.  Many creatures live in or depend on the ocean which is what makes the ocean so important. Lots of them we used for food, but many others are interesting to learn about and watch.

My favorite marine animals are sharks, octopus, dolphins and bioluminescent creatures.  These animals are my favorites because they have special skills to help them survive. Sharks can replace their teeth many times during their life because they have many rows of teeth.  An octopus squirts its ink out to distract the predator so it can escape. Also, an octopus will pretend to be the predator so it won’t get eaten. A dolphin’s dorsal fin can make it look like a shark.  They hunt in a pod or group and use teamwork. Bioluminescent creatures live in the deep parts of the ocean. They use their bright and colorful light for both protection and to catch food. These are some of the reason why I like these animals the best.

The ocean is in great danger! Every second there’s a ton of trash dumped into the ocean. Some states and countries don’t want to make areas for trash. They put their trash in the oceans.  If we don’t stop them the ocean will get polluted with bad things. Many animals will eat ts are sold every minute around the world.  People should recycle the plastic water bottles. Also, people should buy reusable water bottles. Everyone needs to get involved, even kids. Ocean Connectors is a group here in San Diego for kids to learn about ocean conservation.  Kids go on field trips to clean-up beaches and learn about marine life.

We are all connected to the ocean so we have to protect the ocean.  We should defend all the living things in the ocean because if we do not, no one will.  The end result will be that as the ocean plants die the fish that eat them will also die.  This will cause a chain of dying because many of the ocean animals will starve.  Eventually, the oceans will die. All the ocean animals will become extinct.  It is our job to make the ocean clean and keep the ocean animals safe so we all can survive. This is an important job that everybody is obligated to do. Tell me, what would you do to help save the ocean?
