Ocean Conservancy Research Paper
The Ocean matters. The coral reef is a home to more than 3,000 species of fish, 700 species of hard coral and around 100 other species. Scientists say that there could be 1-8 million undercovered species. If not protected all these species have nowhere to go and the undiscovered species will likely not be discovered. We cannot let these species die a whole ecosystem will be lost. Ocean Conservancy was created in 1972, they offer 2,300,000 jobs to people. Over the 25 years the organization was around they were able to clean up 144,606,491 pounds of trash. They strive to keep the ocean healthy and capable of having wildlife live in it. They also want to keep coastal areas healthy as well. Ocean Conservancy is a nonprofit organization that

Ocean Conservancy is ranked number one out of all the other ocean-related charities around. The total score is for Ocean Conservancy according to Charity Navigator is a “90.87 out of 100, with a four-star ranking”(Charity Navigator).

According to Cooley Ph.D. is the Director of the Ocean Acidification Program at Ocean Conservancy, “One such small way to encourage action on ocean acidification is the International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification. Nations who join the Alliance are pledging to begin or continue efforts to address ocean acidification”(Cooley). Ocean acidification is a big problem in the ocean. Spreading the word about this charity is one big step to saving the ocean. Ocean Conservancy is getting the word out to make sure people on both the East Coast and West Coast understand this complex ocean threat. According to the Ocean Conservancy web page article on acidification, “We need to reduce our carbon emissions to tackle ocean acidification at its root” (Ocean acidification). Spreading the word about ocean acidification is one step to getting a cleaner ocean which would help the wildlife and humans. A four-year plan was developed to help the cause. One step to the four-year plan is plugging up where the leakage is coming from. From Mike Hower article on Sustainable Brands,“The report calls for accelerated development of waste collection and plugging of post-collection leakage, followed by the development and rollout of commercially viable treatment options”(Hower). Since the leaks are plugged up there is less waste going into the ocean which means less pollution. Less waste equals less clean
