Fisheye School – Marine conservation made cool

Learn Coastal and Marine conservation the fun way.

Why Coastal and Marine conservation?

The earths surface is 70% water and 2/3rd of the planets’ oxygen comes from the oceans. The planet’s atmosphere is made up of 78% Nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the rest is carbon dioxide and argon among other gases. With the constant human expansion and growth, the ratio of this atmospheric structure is changing and hence changing the earth’s climate and it patterns.

INDIA has a long coastline of 7,517 km and covers 20% of earth’s waters. This coastline stretches from Gujarat to Tamil Nadu right up to Bengal. Sadly, most of the coastline is degraded due to urban sewage draining into the ocean untreated, ballast water from ships, oil spills from offshore drilling and chemicals put into the ocean by the fisheries industry. With more awareness among the citizenry, we hope the government decides to focus on conservation rather than destruction through development.

In areas where “development” has not reached, those areas do have pristine waters. The beauty that exists in some parts of our country’s coasts need to be documented and appreciated by us all and shared with the world. We are not owners of this Planet, we are Her trustees.
