The Overall Importance Of Ocean Conservation

By Nancy Russell


When it comes to conserving natural resources there are several areas which are in need of assistance. One of the most important of which is that of Ocean Conservation. While there are many organizations currently working in this area, many are more efficient at getting things done than others. As such, before giving to any non-profit, it is good to know the facts, goals, purpose and priorities of the organization.

With that being said, there are also those which have been around for decades, in most cases these are valid non-profits who have and are doing great work with regards to conservation. The Ocean Conservancy and Marine Council which have been around for over forty plus years are often considered two of the best. For, the direct goals and priorities of these non-profits is to save the oceanic environment, sea life and those whom depend on its valuable natural resources.

When it comes to the Ocean Conservancy, these goals include keeping an active and thriving oceanic environment for the people and wildlife which depend on its valuable natural resources. Whereas, the Marine Conservation Council and other similar organizations work to promote the health and well being of oceanic life in all its forms.

The Conservancy has been protecting the oceans and related environments for over forty five years. While the Marine Conservation Council has been around even longer. As such, these two are often considered essential in the success of this great endeavor. For, both have different through similar goals when it comes to saving the valuable resources which humans, sea life and wildlife need to sustain life.

Yet, neither of these organizations can continue to do this necessary work without the help of donors, volunteers and staff. For the most part, non-profits are ran solely on the donations of corporations, private individuals and in some cases, governments. Although, when it comes to eliminating acidification from the ocean floor, combating climate change and restoring coastlines and waterways after man-made and natural disasters, the funds received are often not near enough to complete these projects.

The Marine Council also helps to establish, strengthen and designate sanctuaries for a variety of sea life. In its efforts, sea turtles and other once endangered species are now being returned to the ocean on a regular basis. Volunteers associated with both organizations work to clean up local and international coastlines, coastal waters and to find habitats for injured coastal birds, seals, whales and other life around the world.

It is often the staff and volunteers associated with these efforts who do the most important work such as surveying and tracking progress. As each of these organizations are considered to be working on a world-wide basis, it often requires thousands of volunteers to help achieve these goals. As the oceans also supply air, food and water to communities as well as to sea life living within these waters, this ongoing work is essential to survival.

The goals which have been achieved over the last forty to fifty years show great progress. For example, 144,000 pounds of trash have been picked up and millions of jobs created. Although litter still continues to build up and some jobs have been lost over the years. As such, the work of these and other non-profits remain essential when it comes to sustaining human, sea and wildlife around the world.
