If this itself won't end the marine wildlife, we wonder what would? Being a non-biodegradable item, it's been a massive cause for deaths of thousands of underwater creatures. According to a study published in the World Economic Forum by Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the world's oceans are already facing an uncertain future - the amount of plastic debris found in the oceans is expected to cross the number of marine creatures by 2050. Beached whales often find it hard to move back into the sea because of their weight and dehydration, and that becomes a major reason why they die on the shore. Many scientists believe that a similar Industrial Revolution is taking place in the oceans just as it did on the land - humans are expanding their territory deep into the sea which is creating irrevocable damage to the world below.Īlso, beaching as a phenomenon causes large sea animals to fall to their deaths. One thing however is certain - the amalgamation of varying causes is leading to a disturbing change in the aquatic world and quick steps need to be taken before it's too late. Experts have awarded different reasons to this unfortunate decline in ocean life - while some say it could be a fall out of the Fukushima disaster, others believe that ocean acidification could be a major reason. Whether these were whales or turtles or a mysterious furry animal that was found in Russia, all found their way on to the shores, dead. The past year itself many sea creatures washed ashore on beaches across the globe, leaving us all bewildered as to what is really happening. Those of us who don't live near the shores probably won't feel the weight of it, but a lot of marine animals are getting sick, disappearing, and are dying at an alarming rate.
