In the face of pollution, climate change and other serious problems, what you can do alone may seem little. 1 Here are some ways to get started：·Be water­wise. All waters on the earth are connected, so you can help keep the ocean clean by using as little fertilizer (化肥) as possible when growing plants in your yard. 2 Much energy is wasted in transporting foods from far away. What's more, remember that trash you throw away doesn't disappear. So don't throw wastes into the ocean.·Be fish­friendly. Scientists guess that up to 90% of large predatory fish (those that eat other animals) have disappeared since humans began heavy fishing. 3 You should choose sustainable seafood in restaurants. When fishing on your own, make sure you follow all local catch limits.·Cut carbon. We should try to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide given off as we go about our daily activities. 4 · 5 A trip to the ocean is a great way to learn more about the ocean.
