Understanding the critical challenges facing our oceans is essential for effective conservation efforts. In this segment, students will explore significant issues such as pollution and climate change that threaten marine ecosystems.
Pollution, from plastics to chemical runoff, not only harms marine life but also disrupts the delicate balance of ocean health. Climate change leads to rising sea temperatures and acidification, further exacerbating the stress on ocean habitats.
Through engaging activities and real-world case studies, students will learn about the impacts of these challenges on marine biodiversity and coastal communities. They will also explore innovative solutions and strategies to tackle these pressing issues, empowering them to become advocates for a healthier ocean and a sustainable future.
