Are we doing enough about this issue?
In general we
need to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that we put into the atmosphere. We
need to stop leaving our rubbish around not just on beaches but anywhere. Like
that campaign says it is terrible when you see our rubbish mixed with our
treasure. Conservationists and environmentalists need to find ways in which
they can stop run off water that is filled with toxins, from running into the
ocean. The government also should be putting into place stricter laws about
fishing. For instance they can be harsher as too who can get their fishing
license and who can’t. They can increase fines for those who are found over
fishing or causing destruction to the reef in anyway. They should increase the
punishment for those who are found using any kind of poison or explosives to
fish. Simple things can be done like putting up more signs warning people of
the destruction or putting more dustpans on public beaches. Often people do not
throw away their garbage because there are no dustpans or the dustpans are
miles away. Sea patrol should be increased especially in places where the reef
is. They can also limit the amount of fish, mussels and other species that
allowed to be caught, and there should be someone who checks this frequently.
Groups, foundations and advertising agencies must continue to spread the
urgency of this problem and educate people on the matter. They must also be
warned not to buy fish that is caught in unethical ways like poison or
dynamite. Coral reef experts can also work on reviving the reef and stop tourists
from diving in badly destroyed areas.
