Monday was world ocean day and we did some research into how humans are effecting our oceans. We also played a game that taught us some of the names and locations of the worlds seas and oceans. It is in the 'Other Links' tab on the right.
Here are some of our reports about marine debris, what it is and how it effects our seas and oceans.
Marine debris
Do
you know that anything could be marine debris? Some people litter and don’t
care. They don’t realise that they could kill an animal. Animals especially in
the sea aren’t as smart as people. They can mistake a plastic bag for jelly
fish
Causes
Animals
aren’t as good at seeing as humans. They could mistake anything for food.
Effects
Sea
living animals die. If they die they will be left on the beach to create more
marine debris.
What you can do to help
· Don’t litter
· Make sure when you put
something in the rubbish it stays in the rubbish.
· Recycle

Marine
debris is when rubbish is in the water and kills sea life.
Main causes
of marine debris are people littering and fishing nets falling over board, try
not to let these things happen please!!!!
Main effects
of marine debris are fish dying, turtles getting endangered, and having yucky
oceans. Also in about 4 years the Great Barrier Reef will be gone because of
marine debris.
What you
can do to help is stop littering and be
careful where you put your rubbish.
By Josh
I’m going to
tell you about marine debris.
Marine debris
is when people litter on beaches and litter on water.
If you
litter on water fish will think its food, and the fish will eat the litter.
We eat fish
and if fish swallow litter we might the litter when we eat fish.
If we do not
do anything we won’t want to swim at the beaches that have heaps of litter on
them.
Do you want to swim on a beach with heaps of
litter on it?
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
You can go
on trips to pick up litter. And when you see people littering tell them not to.
Put you litter in a safe place when you’re on a boat. Never ever dump you net
your fishing net when it gets tangled in a rock

Marine debris is when you put rubbish in the ocean.
If
you put any of these things in the sea animals might die by Plastic,
Rubber, Trash, Paper,
Nets, metal, Plastic bags, Drink bottles and Rubbish.
Problem
If rubbish nets and lots of thing get in the sea or ocean
animals will die because nets will tangle the animals. So don’t litter. All
rubbish is bad for the sea so don’t litter. That is what marine debris is.

Marine debris
Have
you ever heard of marine Debris? Well it is when there is rubbish all in the
water. The reason I'm talking to you about marine Debris is because it is
polluting our ocean. Would you like to swim in a polluted ocean? The other
reason is that it is killing our sea animals.
Causes
Things
that cause sea animals to die are metal, rubbish, plastic, which is most
common, fishing nets and lines, paper, tires and 6 pack rings. Also boats which
drive past their fishing nets and rods could fall off and can catch all the sea
animals, storm drains sometimes have rubbish going down the drain and then the
rubbish will get washed down the pipes in the ocean and fish will eat all the
rubbish and die. Sometime fishers even throw there rubbish over board.
Effects
The
effects of it is that it is killing sea animals, like choking, eating and
getting hooked stuck down their throat. They could even become extinct.
Conclusion
If
this keeps happening to sea animals there will be no more of them. So make sure
there's no Marin debris in the water. Start picking up rubbish for the animals,
environment and us.

Marine debris is rubbish in the ocean and sea. It is also
killing sea life and sea homes.
Do not throw rubbish in the ocean or sea and on land. Fisher
man are losing fishing gear like: nets, rods and fishing nylon. Sometimes you
can accidently drop rubbish outside, on land, beaches and seas. It is us that
is causing marine debris.
It is killing animal’s habitats. Plastic bags are killing
our turtles because the turtles think they are jelly fish. It can kill animals
like: seals, turtles, fish and other sea animals like that. It can kill the sea
animals like that. It can kill the sea world. A lot of sea animals get caught in the net’s from fisher men.
Sometimes metal rings can get stuck around turtles neck and it can grow with
the turtles neck as it gets older.
We can start to pick up rubbish from the beach, ocean, sea
and lakes. Stop throwing rubbish on the ground. It can make a big deference to
the world

Marine debris is rubbish or in water and if
rubbish goes to the sea fish will eat the rubbish then they will get sick die
and the food will not die digest in their body.
Anything can be marine debris and if you throw
stuff into the water you will go to jail because it is against the law.
If a rubbish bin is full and there is a plastic
bin you must put the plastic stuff in the plastic bin and that will make the
bin less full.
And sometimes nets wheels will get caught in
seaweed and fish will not have homes to stay in.
And if you want to help you can pick up rubbish
and that will save the environment.

you said marine so of course it happens
in water ‘’ but do you what debris means ‘’hmmm no’’ it means rubbish.
It caused so many animals dying. When fish or other an
animals that we also eat marine debris .Us humans cause marine debris.
Marine debris breaks habitat of sea animals. Marine
debris can be anything, for example a net floating around can catch sea
animals. Millions of sea animals are dying.
We can help by not littering. For more information go to the trash talk website.

Marine
Debris
A
Marine Debris is a patch pollution (Rubbish) in the ocean.
Causes
If
someone litters somewhere then the rubbish could easily blow away and land in a
drain or a nearby river or beach and all that water leads to the ocean.And that
will affect all the animals in the ocean and even some rivers!
Effects
Some
of effects are that when the animals see rubbish they sometimes mistake it for
food and when they do they could get tangled or strangled and then they could
die. Sometimes when turtles see metal rings they sometimes get their necks
stuck by swimming through them by accident. And they could get strangled or it
could grow into their skin.
If
people don't stop littering then all the animals will die and the ocean will be
very dirty and all the sea creatures will be gone!
