Marine life conservation

Some measures must be done to address this problem. Those species that have utterly disappeared from marine habitat cannot anymore be retrieved, but the endangered ones can still be saved by protecting them from further destruction. This requires political will from authorities who should pursue and penalize the abusers of the sea. Put the offenders behind bars if necessary so that others will not copy what they have been doing.

Campaigns designed to educate the people on the necessity to preserve endangered species must be done. All sectors should take part in this massive endeavor. The disadvantages of losing these species should be disseminated, and people should be instructed on what to do as regards advocating for marine resources preservation. Media outlets must be tapped to ensure wide dissemination since people’s exposure to media outlets vary.

In schools, students from elementary grades up to graduate levels should be informed about all this, and then told what to do so they, too, can participate in the conservation efforts. Teachers must look into this as the disseminators of knowledge. Most importantly, this campaign should be sustained and not just left unattended to die a natural death after a few months. While some fish species remain endangered, efforts to protect them must prevail.
