What is the percentage of water covering the world surface?
Researched information from Google shows that about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is water.
How many species of living things are discovered or undiscovered under the ocean?
It is estimated that 1 to 2.2 million marine species live in ocean; around 90% are undiscovered and unclassified.
What percent of the ocean is polluted?
Scientists believed that almost 100% of the ocean polluted by humans. Most of the pollutants found in oceans are plastics and over 400 million tons of plastic are plastic disposables.
When do we discover microplastic in the ocean?
Early discovery of microplastics in ocean was accompanied by marine biologist Edward Carpenter and his team in 1971, and they published the finding in 1972.
What is the children picture book, Peep Inside the Deep Ocean, talking about?
Peep Inside the Deep Ocean, a heartwarming picture book, illustrates a blue whale as the cover image. The blue whale is the largest animal in the world. Unfortunately, the fate of the blue whale is the same as that of polar bear in the North Pole: the number of blue whale is deceasing.
FairPlanet, published an article, “The Blue Whale is Close to Extinction: How Many Are Left?”, in 2023. They discovered that there were only 10% of blue whales found surviving in the ocean when compared to about 100,000 blue whales a century ago.
The Blue Whale is Close to Extinction: How Many Are Lef
Peep Inside the Deep Ocean – The main purpose of this book is to let children recognize different species in the ocean., such as sharks, vampire squids, and anglerfish. They can stay enthusiastic, keep persevering, and be curious to discover the mysteries of the ocean. Most importantly, it is to inspire children to be aware of protecting the marine environment: safeguard the marine ecosystem.
What are ecosystems?
Simply speaking, ecosystems is similar as the lifestyle and surrounding environment of a living thing.
What can children do for the ecosystems?
Children avoid catching tiny life on the beach, such as crabs. It is because they will die eventually when they cannot adapt to a new environment.
Take away all your personal belongings, especially plastic disposables. It takes from 20 to 1,000 years for plastic to completely discomposes in the environment. In the meantime, plastic will decomposes to microplastics under the sunlight and eventually end up on land or flow into the ocean.
Why marine protection is it important to the ecosystems?
Environmental protection is ecosystem protection.
Each species has its own ecosystem to live and survive in. They correlate with and affect others. When one of the systems is interfacing, it can affect another one. even one that does not directly experience the environmental changes.
As I said in Your Planet Needs You, environmental protection is not one time. It is a sustainable, long-term, generation-to-generation process. Children should bear in mind: the act is not only about now, but also for the sake of several generations ahead.
One important species in the ocean the author does not mention in the book
Phytoplankton is an ocean forest.
They builds up a large and important ecosystems in the oceans. They form the base of several aquatic food webs. Phytoplankton are plants: they processes photosynthesis, which absorbs carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
