Seabirds are a keystone species in oceanic regions. Where there is ocean, there are islands. And these islands can be lush, beautiful jungles teeming with life, singing beautiful melodies each and every day. Without seabirds, these island ecosystems could collapse. Seabirds distribute seeds and nutrients from island to island. They are responsible for these lush ecosystems.
While coral reefs are not often discussed in the context of ocean pollution, they are some of the most critical species that inhabit our planet. Coral reefs are not only home to about a quarter of our planet’s fish species, but they also provide immense advantages to human beings.
As we begin to think towards World Oceans Day, I want us to focus on the things that we can do to help our oceans. There are so many facets to conservation. If we each choose one action to protect our oceans, they will thank us. So over the next seven days, I’ll be focusing each day on ways we can protect the waters and the creatures of the oceans. I’m calling it the #EcoWarriorChallenge - World Oceans Day Edition.
