The goal encompasses issues such as overfishing, ocean acidification, pollution, and putting effective regulations in place. ]]> 2019-04-17 14:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rclark50/s4lbz3rmq4k/wish/352301672 rclark50 https://padlet.com/rclark50/s4lbz3rmq4k/wish/352306220 The ocean is humanity's lifeline, it continuously provides in many ways. If it gets sick, so do we. 
The ocean: 

• produces the air we breathe
• the food we eat
• recreation
• medicine
• is home to an incredible amount of biodiversity
• plays a part in regulating our climate

• Extreme heat can aggravate chronic health conditions (diabetes, renal disease), cause cramps and exhaustion (Sayre, Rhazi, Carpenter,  & Hughes, 2010)

•  Discovery of spongothymidine led to the development of Zidovudine and cytosine arabinoside- treatments for AIDS and leukemia  (National Academies, 2007, p. 2)

• Toxic algae blooms cause fish (large food source) to either die or become infected, and the bacteria are not destroyed through cooking (National Academies, 2007, p. 9)
• Higher water temperatures and acidification allow pathogens to thrive and become more concentrated (National Academies, 2007, p. 14)

• advocate for carpooling and use of public transportation or use of bicycles (reduce toxic emissions)
• participation in environmental health task forces formed by nurses
• for a shift to renewable energy resources
• for sustainable food sources
• for mercury-free hospital products
• establishing a hospital garden that could be used as a food source

• educate patients on how climate change can affect their health, especially extreme heat
• educate patients on environmental risks
• educate on proper disposal of waste

Although the pay off in the long run has incredible potential, up front cost is what stops many healthcare facilities from making the change.]]> 2019-04-26 03:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rclark50/s4lbz3rmq4k/wish/354341371 rclark50 https://padlet.com/rclark50/s4lbz3rmq4k/wish/354343147 Time

• Nurses have limited time to educate their patients
• Nurses may not have time to participate in environmental task forces outside of work

Access

• Access to efficient public transportation can be limited in certain areas

Perception

• Patients may not directly see or believe the effect the ocean can have on their health
