Why it is important to look after the sea.

It is important to look after the sea for many reasons. The sea provides people with all kinds of different food, all around the world. It also is fun and refreshing to play in the sea on a hot day. Another reason the sea needs to be looked after is to protect all the amazing marine creatures that live in it as they are important for providing food, science and tourism as well as maintaining a balance in the foodchain.

. . .

People need to look after the sea because we use it for fun and recreation. When the weather is warm and the sun is shining, people love going to the beach and cooling off in the crisp, cold sea. If we don’t look after the sea then it would not be fun to go swimming or play in the water because of the pollution and rubbish. It might even be dangerous if there was sharp objects or toxic waste being dumped into the sea.

. . .

In conclusion I believe it is important to look after the sea for many different reasons. If people want to continue eating food from the sea and swimming in the sea then we need to make sure that we don’t pollute the sea with rubbish or take too much food from it. Marine creatures are amazing and interesting and essential members of the food chain so we need to look after the sea to protect them from becoming extinct.
