4 Ways to Tackle Ocean Trash Besides Ocean Cleanup's Broken System

As all pollution is bad, people tend to forget that ocean pollution exists as well, which is all together, about twice the size of Texas which substantially lies in between the waters of California and Hawaii. Therefore, with pollution being a major issue, specifically water pollution in this case, new prevention's are being created such as waterwheels in which trap trash before floating to other areas of water, picking the debris up as it washes up on shore and simple tactics like less plastic use and special recyclable plastic that can be broken down. In other words, ocean pollution is returning and strategies are continuously being made where ocean pollution will decrease if humans recycle the correct things and minimize the use of plastic as well as, if the fishing industry contributes to the overall cleanup and start using buoys to mark off certain areas, pollution will be easier to keep up after, since the fishing industry is one of the major correspondents to ocean pollution.

In my opinion, I never really thought about ocean pollution until reading this article but after reading it, it made me realize that there are problems everywhere which need to be solved, that we don't seem to notice in our everyday lives. Therefore, ocean pollution being one of them but on a positive note, it's good to hear that there are solutions being made towards this issue.

    There are many solutions that help prevent or clean up ocean pollution but it's still a big problem! Hopefully one day we all come to realize the affect plastics have on the ocean before its too late.

    It is sad to hear that there is that much waste in the ocean that people put that when there is such easy ways to help.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
