Desertification under the sea
Desertification of the oceans
According to the Korea Water Resources Management Corporation, the area of tidal greenery in the sea of Korea is increasing every year by four times the area of Yeouido (1,200 ha). Tidal melting is when acidic components corrode the shells and corals of fish and shellfish, creating sea desertification. As the area of tidal greenery increases, the seaweed, which supplies oxygen to the sea through photosynthesis and feeds sea creatures, cannot grow, devastating the sea.
According to the Korea Water Resources Management Agency, the area of bleaching in South Korea's waters is increasing every year, equivalent to four times the area of Yeouido (1,200 hectares). Bleaching is the phenomenon of desertification of the oceans due to the erosion of fish skins, shells of shellfish and corals by acidic components. The larger the bleaching area, the more difficult it is for the seaweed, which feeds the marine organisms, to survive and the more barren the ocean becomes.

What is Ocean Arbor Day?
Sea Arbor Day is a day that national and local governments hold commemorative events on May 10 every year in order to inform the public of the importance of the underwater ecosystem and the seriousness of its degradation, and to promote the creation of sea forests amid nationwide interest. On Marine Arbor Day, we plant seaweed in the sea to solve the "tidal melting phenomenon" caused by the disappearance of seaweed in coastal waters, and to restore the habitats and spawning grounds of aquatic creatures.
In order to educate the public about the importance of marine ecosystems and the severity of marine ecological depletion, and to build a "marine forest" with the attention of the whole people, the Korean government has designated May 10 as Marine Arbor Day every year, and the government and local governments hold commemorative events on that day. Seaweed planting is also held on Marine Arbor Day to address the "bleaching" phenomenon caused by the loss of seaweed in coastal waters and to restore the habitat and spawning grounds of aquatic organisms.
Is there a forest under the sea?
There are forests in the ocean?
Seaweed and seaweed such as seaweed, kelp, persimmon, and algae are called "sea forests" in the sea. Seaweed is a group of algae that grow in the sea, and algae are silver plants that do not bloom and live in water and assimilate with chlorophyll. In addition, according to the pigment, it is classified as green algae, brown algae, red algae, etc. Seaweed is a type of flowering plant that lives in the ocean, and its stems grow in sediment like roots, so you can not see the stems, only the leaves that protrude from the stems.
Seaweeds and seaweeds such as kelp, kelp, moss, and seagrass are very densely distributed in the ocean is called "marine forests". Seaweed is a general term for marine algae, and algae are non-flowering plants that live in water and contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis. In addition, it can be divided into green algae, brown algae, red algae, etc., according to the color. Seagrass is a flowering plant in the ocean, with stems that grow like roots in marine sediments. And you can't see the stems, only the leaves.
Sea forests are the main source of food for marine life, a place of spawning, nurturing, and shelter from predators. Just as a forest of trees purifies the air on land, the more sea forests made up of seaweed and algae, the richer and cleaner the marine ecosystem becomes.
Marine forests are the main source of food for marine life, where they lay their eggs, where they nurse, and where predators hide. Just as trees on land purify the air, the more marine forests formed by seaweed and seagrass, the richer and cleaner the marine ecosystem will be.

Reduce the use of disposables
Reduce the use of disposables
Since disposables are actually threatening the marine ecosystem, it is important to reduce the use of disposables. Located in the North Pacific Ocean, the largest island seven times the size of the Korean Peninsula is said to be a garbage island made up of 99% plastic. Please use multi-use items that can be used multiple times instead of disposables, and even if you have no choice but to use disposable items, please separate and dispose of them well.
Disposables pose a serious threat to marine ecosystems, so it is important to reduce the use of disposables. Located in the North Pacific Ocean, the Korean Peninsula is seven times the size of the island, and 99% of the island is made up of plastic waste. Swap disposables for reusable items. Even if you must use disposable items, please separate your garbage.
