No part of the ocean is untouched by humans, study says

HUMANS HAVE CHANGED THE OCEANS

• A study shows that there is a very small part in the ocean that is untouched by humans.
• Only thirteen percent (one tenth) is wild
• This isn’t a thing from the past it’s still a problem here and now.

WHY SHOULD WE CARE?

• Humans are damaging our oceans.
• Fishing, polluting, shipping and global warming are the main causes.
• Wild parts of the ocean are disappearing fast.
• We depend on the oceans for food and water.
• Wild areas keep the animals healthy

GEOGRAPHICAL LENS

• Quite simply the world is losing it’s healthy oceans.
• Pollution and global warming are damaging our reefs, shorelines and icecaps

THERE IS STILL TIME

• Our government can help us with this growing issue.
• It can enforce and make laws to help the oceans.
• Other governments must also work with us to fix our problem.
