OUR SICK SEAS

Our seas are very important. Millions of sea creatures live in them. Sea plants make

50% of our oxygen and take 25% of our carbon dioxide. But our seas are in danger.

The world is getting hotter and the ice at the north and south poles

is melting (becoming water). Because there is more water in the sea,

there are more floods and many cities by the sea are in danger.

The sea is also getting hotter. This is bad for coral reefs because the

hotter water is killing the coral. The coral is losing its beautiful

colours and turning white. Sea creatures can't live in it any more and

Lots of starfish, seahorses and other fish are Losing their homes.

Plastic pollution is a big problem for our oceans. There is Lots of plastic rubbish, Like bags

and cups, in the water. Sea creatures sometimes eat the plastic. Lots of fish now have

plastic inside them.

There are Lots of big boats and ships on our oceans. They take things Like clothes,

televisions, food and people around the world. There is pollution from their oil in the

water. Fish and coral reefs are dying from this pollution. Ships can also hit coral reefs.
