The Life Saving Importance Of Ocean Conservation

By Nancy Russell


When it comes to conserving natural resources there are several areas which are in need of assistance. One of the most important of which is that of Ocean Conservation. While there are many organizations currently working in this area, many are more efficient at getting things done than others. As such, before giving to any non-profit, it is good to know the facts, goals, purpose and priorities of the organization.

Two of the most integral organizations working in this area are the Ocean Conservancy and the Marine Council. Both of which have a number of staff and volunteers working in this area. In addition, each non-profit has a purpose along with a set of priorities and goals related to conserving the oceanic environment in order to sustain life on a world wide basis. As such, there are also a number of universities offering degree programs in these areas.

While both of these non-profits work to save valuable resources, each organization has its own goals, priorities and purpose. For example, while the marine council is more concerned with the biological aspects of marine life, the conservancy works to save the overall environment which is essential to the survival of humans, sea life and wildlife in different areas of the world.

The Conservancy has been protecting the oceans and related environments for over forty five years. While the Marine Conservation Council has been around even longer. As such, these two are often considered essential in the success of this great endeavor. For, both have different through similar goals when it comes to saving the valuable resources which humans, sea life and wildlife need to sustain life.

Donations also go towards the effort of combating climate change, international coastal clean up and eliminating acidification from the ocean floor. A large amount of past proceeds have also been used to clean up the Gulf Of Mexico and other waterways following man-made and natural disasters. In some cases, local governments may also contribute monies to these non-profits, especially when human life is at risk.

The Marine Council has helped to spearhead efforts in replenishing what was at once endangered species such as the sea turtle. In addition, the agency is responsible for designating and strengthening marine sanctuaries so that these efforts can continue over time. Many volunteers associated with the council are also part of other non-profits which work to clean up coastal waterways as well as international coastlines.

With regards to both of these non-profits and others, it is often the volunteers and staff who do the hardest work. For, going out into the field, surveying and tracking while cleaning and moving endangered species is often a difficult and timely process. However, as the ocean also supplies water, food and air to a number of different communities, this work is also essential in saving humankind.

Having already removed over 144,000 pounds of trash and created jobs in the millions, it is easy to see how these organizations have made a difference. In addition, as over two billion people rely on the sea life as a source of protein, these organizations are saving humans as well as the oceanic environment and the life breeding and living within its waters. As such, it remains important to support these and other non-profits now and the future.
