Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Marine population halved
since 1970 – report
More humans on the
ground, more carbon dioxide in the air, and less creatures in the sea. This
seems to be the case at least for the last 45 years. The extent of the decline
in marine population is staggering, nearly 50% during the period according to a
study conducted by the World Wildlife Foundation, or WWF.
What is going to happen
for the next few decades of time when the world population is expected to grow
by nearly 30% to nine billion? Also, there will be an huge increase in wealthy
segment of people whose appetite for certain seafood is extremely high, such as
sea cucumbers, shark fins and tuna. Some of the marine creatures may become
extinct.
Enjoy reading and
learning what is happening and going to happen under the water.
