Hey, are you a sea lover? Do you love spending holidays by the sea-shore? You take a deep breathe in the sea-wind, enjoy the lovely waves, but do you know this lovely sea can make you some money too?
The world we are living in, no doubt, is money-worshipper. People today try to make money out of everything. The planet we are living in is mostly blue, how can we still ignore the fact that the BLUE can play a big role to the world economy?
Okay, now think, how many things are there in a water body that we can use? You can sell drinkable water, do fishing, grow some edible plants in the water bodies. Look at the sea, you can collect salt, start shipping business. Sea-foods are at great demand, oil and gas are important government asset, established tourism opportunities is a great way to earn foreign currency. Nowadays, people have expertise in technology and potential for using almost each natural resource. From coral reef to sands, everything is of some use! Let’s say United State started Marine Corpse.
According to Commonwealth organisation 350 million jobs world-wide are linked to fisheries. Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector and provides about 50% of fish for human consumption. Not only that marine resources are great for reducing poverty, they are also very good for nature.
Well, talking about nature, it should come to our concern that the preservation of the resources is as pivotal as anything. The rise of sea level, climate change, global warming are haunting us. Unplanned disposal of plastics and other poisonous substances will destroy the resources and a part of world economy as well. Next time you visit some sea-beach, observe the businesses around. You will see how our friend, the blue, is being abused. (As I said most of the people are money-headed)
Lets just love the blue the way it should be!
