Hey, you know what? In nature, survival of the fittest is the norm, and it's nothing new for marine life to die and wash up on shore.
But since the incident of Japan's "release of pollutants", the death of marine life has become the focus of attention. No, just a few days ago, a whale carcass washed up on the coast of Tottori Prefecture in Japan, with a length of 10 to 15 meters.
Overview of things
On April 24, a sunny afternoon, a brutal "tragedy" unfolded on the beaches of Tottori Prefecture. A fisherman was working when he accidentally found this huge whale carcass, which was highly decomposed and emitted an unpleasant smell. As soon as the news came out, netizens exploded and said that this was simply a blasphemy against nature.
Local government officials quickly arrived at the scene to investigate. They preliminarily determined that the whale might be a Sai whale or a Bryde's whale. However, the specific cause of death needs to be further investigated to determine. And just last month, a similar incident occurred in Japan's Fukushima Prefecture. The death of a whale about 10 meters in length in the fishing harbor has attracted widespread attention.
In fact, this is not the first time that marine animal carcasses have been found in Japan. Some netizens have shared a video they took while visiting Japan, in which the beach is full of dead eel carcasses, and the picture is shocking. The eel carcasses washed ashore as if to silently accuse of something.
While we can't say for sure whether the deaths of these marine animals are related to "pollution", this series of events is undoubtedly a wake-up call. The ocean, once a blue planet full of life and vitality, is now in the shadow of death. It begs the question: what exactly have we done to make this beautiful ocean so unbearable?
As a lover of nature, I am deeply saddened. The ocean is one of the most important ecosystems on Earth, it supports countless lives and provides us with abundant resources. With the continuous expansion of human activities, the marine environment has been damaged like never before. Pollution, overfishing, climate change...... These problems put marine ecosystems under tremendous pressure.
As an island nation, Japan's dependence on the sea is self-evident. A series of events in recent years have raised questions about its policies on the protection of the marine environment. The release of pollutants is undoubtedly a great harm to the marine ecosystem. And this kind of damage will eventually be reflected on human beings themselves.
We need to recognize that protecting the marine environment is everyone's responsibility. We can all start with the small things we can do in our daily lives, such as reducing the use of single-use plastics, supporting sustainable fishing, and participating in marine conservation activities. Only when everyone takes action can the protection and sustainable development of the marine environment be truly realized.
The protection of the marine environment is a long-term and arduous task. We need to work together to bring this beautiful blue planet back to its former vigor and vitality. Hopefully, in the future, we will no longer see these harrowing images, but will be able to appreciate the magnificence and beauty of the ocean.
