The video I watched was about the disappearance and possible extinction of coral reefs and fish species. Climate change plays a big roll in this. A few degrees doesn't make a big difference in a fish's over all health,just like it doesn't make a huge difference in our health.  The ocean temperatures are getting up to 110 degrees,which is much more than a few degrees above their normal temperatures, and killing many fish. Twenty percent of coral reefs have died within the past fifty years. Almost twenty five percent of sea species depend on coral reefs to survive. Fishermen are also over fishing and factories ar eletting out fumes that are making the oceans acidic.
       I went paddle boarding the other day and witnessed the pollution myself. As I was paddling my way to the inter coastal,I prayed that I wouldn't fall in to the water because the water was so murky and brown! How could a living,breathing creature survive in such conditions? The video interviewed a fishermen who said that every year he wonders if there will be any fish left to fish. He also said "If humans were given there free hand,they would wipe everything out." This intrigued me because I found myself agreeing with him. Most people think about immediate out comes and how things will affect them at that very moment. Although I'm a strong believer in living in the present,I believe that preparing and looking towards the future is essential as well.

                           Fish discovered in one of the plastic gyres,contaminated with confetti sized plastic.Picture found in the L.A. times report.

   Fish are eaten all over the world and are good for our bodies when they are raised properly. But how would people feel about biting in to a fish sandwich,knowing that the fish's body was filled with garbage.In southern California,researchers collected about 150 fish and discovered that one out of ten of them were contaminated with plastic. This plastic has gathered together in vast slow moving ocean currents know as gyres. The fish that are typically eating these plastics are smaller fish that humans usually don't eat. So then whats the problem? The problem is that bigger fish that people do eat are eating the smaller ones which contaminates their bodies and are eventually consumed by ours. Scientists also discovered that the fish that had plastic in them,had stomachs that were 9.2% percent filled with garbage and plastics shredded to the size of confetti. There our about five pods floating around the world of plastic in the sea. These pods are not small,not even the size of a small town,these pods are about the size of Texas. It would take years of determination and hard work to clean up the mess,even then,many people say its impossible. I want to know what we can do to solve this problem. Our environment is in severe danger and no one cares. Most everything is about money and selfishness. No one wants to spend the money to clean up the mess. Is everyone going to stop being selfish and pay attention to the problem when they realize that its not just the animals that are in danger,but humanity as well. Will they pay attention then?
