Ocean pollution affected the economy

Statement
Ocean pollution affected the economy, since it costs a big amount of money to fix the damage to health and environment for example to clean up the beach,etc.

The issue:
Indonesia is the second world's largest plastic pollution contributor.
According to a study by the University of Georgia, an estimated 3.22 million metric tons of plastic waste is tossed annually into the ocean surrounding Indonesia. Over 900 trucks operate there and deliver more than 5,000 tonnes of solid waste every day.

Why is it concerning:
These landfills can be dangerous to the environment as plastic waste also releases harmful chemicals into the atmosphere.

What I think can be the solution for it:
In 2018, the Indonesian government has said that it is planning to introduce excise taxes on plastic producers. The exact figures haven’t been revealed yet, but observers are not expecting it to have much of an impact on plastic use.

The issue: Depletion of oxygen in seawater

Why is it concerning:
because it’s can dagering for the animals and for human, the low level of oxygen can lead the death for the animals in the ocean.

What I think can be the solution for it:
Properly dispose of plastics and trash.

The issue: Plastic Pollution from the ocean reached living creatures in Antartica

Why is it concerning: Right now you would see such as buoys, nets and tarpaulins drifting in between the icebergs of Antartica. Hazardous chemicals found inside the cold snow. Marine litter (fishing nets, boxes strips) thrown from fishing ships, can get birds, seals, fur seals, tangled up up lines and net.

What I think can be the solution for it: Stop throwing waste to our rivers. Human's everyday waste can go through a long journey and make huge damage until Antartica.

The issue: the ocean pollution affected the economy

Why is it concerning: Ocean pollution affected the economy, since it costs a big amount of money to fix the damage to health and environment for example to clean up the beach,etc.

What I think can be the solution for it: Campaining to reduce plastic use and throwing plastic at the beach or ocean

The issue: Decreasing total oxygen

Why is it concerning: Because the contaminated water contain various solution that can block sunlight from entering the water. The result is difficulties for aquatic plants to carry out the photosynthesis proses. This will prevent plants from doing photosynthesis  and will cause the water to get really little oxygen.

What I think can be the solution for it:
Jangan buang sampah di laut/di pantai.

The issue:
Algal blooms and having too much of a good nutrient

Why is it concerning:
Algal blooms happen due to the overabundance of certain nutrients like Nitrogen and Phosphorus, when it happen they block sunlight and absorb too much oxygens that fishes might need.

What I think can be the solution for it:
There should be a way to control the growth and explosion in numbers of seaweed growth, but not eradicate them completely.

The issue: Ocean Acidification

Why is it concerning:
Ocean Acidification is considered to be a threat towards the coral reef ecosystems, because it reduces the availability of carbonate ions  that reef-building corals need to produce their skeletons. It happens because of the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The impacts of Ocean Acidification could be enormous. The change in ocean chemistry can lead to collapsing food webs, corrosive polar seas, dying coral reefs,  and mass extinctions. Which could alter our food, water, and air forever.

What I think can be the solution for it:
The most affective way to reduce Ocean Acidification is to act on climate change, implementing solutions to dramatically reduce the use of fossil fuels.

The issue: Injuries and deaths of marine species.

Why is it concerning:
Whales, fish, seabirds mistake plastic waste for preys. They die of starvation because the stomach is filled with plastic.
What I think can be the solution for it:
Avoid products containing microbeds, reduce single use plastic, participate in beach/river cleanups.

# data[].attributes.body
The issue:
ocean pollution went deeper into the water than ever

Why is it concerning:
it will create more damage to the species under the water such as the coral, plants, and animals, and most importantly it will also affect the environment.

What I think can be the solution for it:
we can start participating in a beach or river cleanup, some organizations even go under the water to clean the trash and avoid products containing microbes (tiny plastic particles).

The issue: Ocean pollution affects the marine life

Why is it concerning: The impact of plastic waste on the marine species, where animals get often mistaken for plastic waste as their food, and also how fishing nets ways causes injuries and infections to the marine species.

What I think can be the solution for it:

The issue: Water pollution affect human health

Why is it concerning: Not only to humans, but to sea animals under the water too. There are so many plastic wastes and toxic chemicals poured into the sea and it will make us have  diseases (cholera, hepatitis, etc.) + water is the source of our living.

What I think can be the solution for it:
- Reduce plastic waste
- Reuse/recycle items instead

The issue: Indonesia's Ocean Pollution on tourism

Why is it concerning: Indonesia Produces 6.8 million tons of plastic per year. the research says that only 10% of the waste will ends up in the recycling centers and the rest of them will ends up in the ocean or the beaches. in this case imagine going to some beach and its polluted by a lot of plastics, and according to NGO based in Bali, Indonesia produces about 130,000 tonnes of plastic and solid waste every day.

What I think can be the solution for it: do your best to not buy single use plastic, dont throw away your trash in the ocean

The issue:
The increase in marine debris on beaches decreased the time-number of days tourists spent on those beaches.
Why is it concerning:
It is concerning because the decline in the amount of time spent on tourism on these beaches will cause less money and a decrease in local jobs.
What I think can be the solution for it:
-Implement more coastal cleanups done on those beaches.
-increase the use of more recyclable materials like reusable bags, bottles, etc...
-Charge taxes on littering. (Charge taxes when someone is caught littering?)

The issue:
over fishing

Why is it concerning:
Overfishing endangers ocean ecosystems and the billions of people who rely on seafood as a key source of protein. When too many fish are taken out of the ocean it creates an imbalance that can erode the food web and lead to a loss of other important marine life, including vulnerable species like sea turtles and corals

What I think can be the solution for it:
Reform, subsidies, and declaring certain areas of the sea off-limits to non-sustainable fishing

The issue:
overfishing with explosives

Why is it concerning:
its concerning because it destroys coral reefs, which is important for the marine ecosystem, and many unwanted fishes getting tossed aside. overfishing with explosives requires the longest recovery.

What I think can be the solution for it:
provide support to the enforcement agencies to help marine conservation
