Hassan,Ramesh,wardah,Sara https://padlet.com/PPSDubai/w9fcvh2zexmx/wish/395972614 Around the Indian Ocean, coastal development for ports, aquaculture, roads, buildings, and urban infrastructure is destroying or diminishing mangroves, coral reefs, wetlands, and other habitats. Pollution, destructive fishing practices such as the use of dynamite and poisons, coral mining for construction materials, and coral bleaching endanger two-thirds of the Indian Ocean's 12,070 km2 of coral reefs and four-fifths of the 3,175 km2 of corals in the Red Sea
 All the nations of the Indian Ocean rim will have to take action to address a growing host of coastal and marine environmental challenges. Yet though the individual countries of the region struggle with many of the same issues, they lack a common policy framework for addressing their shared problems in integrated fashion. Around the Indian Ocean, littoral states belong to a patchwork of regional political and economic organizations, from the East African Community and the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation, which differ considerably in their mandates and engagement with environmental issues, none of them encompassing all of the region's coastal countries

Threats: Pollution such as sewage, runoff from land and toxic waste; habitat destruction, over fishing and climate change leading to sea level rise.

Solution: 1.recycle properly        2.Reduce the use of plastics, Participate  in beach or river cleanup.  Help each other clean the ocean. ]]> 2019-10-10 05:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/PPSDubai/w9fcvh2zexmx/wish/395972852 Group 2 Mubashra, Justin, Yahya, Amsal ( THREATS TO ATLANTIC OCEAN) https://padlet.com/PPSDubai/w9fcvh2zexmx/wish/395972879 Ocean threats:
-Overfishing.
-Coastal pollution
-Habitat destruction
-Warming
-Acidification
How to save the ocean:
We can save the ocean by not overfishing and we could also start a fish farm.We can also help by cleaning the ocean and creating special committees in charge of cleaning the ocean, and also as individuals we can help.

Solutions:
The impact of climate change on southern ocean are understood and are measured accurately.
fishing is sustainably managed, ensuring that fish stocks and ecosystems are not over-exploited.

The Artic ocean threats:

The Arctic is a fragile and challenging environment. This vast landscape contains five ecological regions: from the southern boundaries of the boreal forest to the forest-tundra transition of the Brooks Range northward to the alpine tundra and then along the coast to the coastal plain tundra, salt marshes, lagoons and Arctic beaches.

Despite its unique landscapes and marine qualities shaped by unpredictable weather including extreme cold, snow and powerful winds, the Arctic is home to resilient wildlife adapted to withstand and even thrive in these tough conditions. From musk oxen and caribou to lemmings and Arctic foxes to polar bears and snowy owls, Arctic wildlife rely on the changing seasons and wild landscapes. Birds that migrate from all 50 states use the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge coastal plain as a breeding ground during the summer. Ice-dependent seals, beluga whales, orcas and narwhals prey on Arctic fish species, including Arctic cod and Arctic char, which are a vital part of the marine food chain. Humpback, bowhead, fin and gray whales remain in Arctic waters for longer periods of time each year than previously thought.

Alaska Natives and other indigenous people have lived in the Arctic for thousands of years, living off the land and sea and adapting their homes, clothing and lifestyle to survive Arctic conditions. 

Threats
Climate change poses the greatest danger to the Arctic and its wildlife. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as any place on the planet. Rising temperatures cause young and thicker multi-year ice to melt earlier in spring and re-form slower in autumn, making it harder for polar bears and Pacific walrus to hunt and obtain enough food for their young.  Arctic foxes, well adapted to snow and ice, face greater competition from red foxes in the boreal forests further south. Warmer seas are changing the range and seasonal cycles of Arctic fisheries. Some fish are moving to deeper, cooler waters, by moving northward. 
The Arctic is also a target for oil and gas development both on land and in the ocean. Unfortunately, an increase in development will bring increased ship traffic, leading to increased noise pollution, disturbance of wildlife and a greater risk for disaster. With all of this proposed development and increased traffic in the water, it is not a matter of if another spill will occur, but when.
