Enviropop: The Intoxicating Facts about Sea

The importance of biodiversity is part of the lengthy lessons we learned during our school days. We are educated to be the ultimate defenders of mother earth so getting ourselves conscious with the issues related to her is important. 

Listed below are the poisonous facts that are severely killing the sea today.This is to inform others who are not aware of the current threats to our marine life.

DYNAMITE

A detonating material used by illegal fishers to catch tons of underwater creatures in just one shot.This hostile practice can kill fishes and create massive destruction to coral reefs.

CYANIDE

It is an odourless and potentially noxious chemical used by some fishermen to easily catch fish. This unhealthy practice can harm the life down under and should not be tolerated. 

TRAWL NET

Don’t get the wrong notion and clear your minds now. Some of you might be wondering why trawl net is included in the list if using nets is the safest method to catch fish. Trawl net is a type of fish net that can catch tiny to huge underwater creatures-where some are endangered. This wide scope method questions the proper or selective fishing.

OIL

Ever heard of oil spill? The oil that contains fuel and crude are definitely destructive to the marine life.This action usually happens with on-board seafarers either on purpose or by accident. It is considered as an intended activity if the person in charge purposely releases the oil. Unfortunately, shipping accidents or leaking vessels are called mishaps.  

PET BOTTLES

A material made of plastics that are really hazardous to the marine species because it may block their breathing passages. Many of us are unconscious of the wastes we throw eventually reach the sea territory. The underwater creatures that seem to be happy are actually at risk because of our inappropriate waste disposal.  

To know more about these aggravating threats, check out Applabs Digital Studios Inc. (ADSI) and World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF-PH) latest game application. Get a chance to eliminate the toxic that are infiltrating our deep seas by playing Enviropop.
