What effect have these krill trawlers had on whale and marine life overall?<\/p>\n
We now understand our impact on marine life, thanks to conservation and science<\/h2>\n
We used to think that plant life was the primary source of oxygen on our planet.<\/p>\n
Recent studies have found this to be inaccurate. We now know that the ocean produces the vast majority of the air<\/strong> we need for life. Recent findings state that it acts as the planet’s “heart” and “lungs,” meaning that roughly 50% to 70% of the oxygen in our atmosphere comes from the ocean.<\/p>\n Our population growth has had a profound impact on the sea, and that much has become clear in recent years.<\/p>\n Overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution have devastated our oceans. Some state that nearly one-third of all marine life<\/strong> is now facing the risk of extinction due to human-led factors.<\/p>\n As we have learnt, much to our own detriment, that the planet is constantly evolving and changing, we need more extensive conservation projects, and soon.<\/p>\n For us as humans, the planet has been sending us not-so-cryptic messages<\/strong> in recent years as new weather disasters become an all too common feature of living in the modern world.<\/p>\n The recent accelerated start of the U.S tornado season<\/a> has proven that much to be true.<\/p>\n And as the climate situation worsens, the impact we have had on marine life has become clearer. We know that as a species, we need vast amounts of food and energy that will inevitably have an impact on the ocean, but things are reaching a tipping point.<\/strong><\/p>\n The ocean holds ancient mysteries that we are only now beginning to develop technology to allow us to solve.<\/p>\n Such as a living fossil that disappeared without a trace for ten years<\/a> before making a comeback. The ocean is getting warmer at an alarming rate<\/strong>, but an issue has been raised by conservationists that could have been avoided with a little pragmatic forethought, yet here we are.<\/p>\n The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society<\/em><\/a> has been working diligently to raise awareness about the latest problems for marine life, in particular, whales.<\/p>\n The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has become one of the most important organizations in history regarding saving the beautiful marine life in our oceans.<\/p>\n They found a new problem for whales near the Orkney Islands.<\/strong> Our impact on the world has been an issue for river monsters<\/a> and huge marine life like whales. We know that the sea is warming at a rapid pace, but the latest issue for marine life comes directly from our need to advance as a species.<\/p>\n Sea Shepherd has found that the hundreds of industrial krill trawlers in the region near the South Orkneys have devastated the very food that whales rely on: krill.<\/p>\n While most of our impact on the world has been a necessity in some form or another, krill is used for fish feed and supplements rather than human consumption.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sea Shepherd’s “Operation Antarctica Defense” campaign is confronting the krill issue head-on.<\/p>\n Attempting to raise public awareness and force the industrial krill trawler companies to reevaluate their operations.<\/strong> While some of us are baffled by recent findings of strange blue blobs on beaches around the nation<\/a>, Sea Shepherd is trying to protect one of our most iconic and emblematic creatures: whales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Humans are having a profound effect on the wildlife of the Earth.
