Marine life

Why do we love the sea?  

We know so little about this part of the earth

but yet we are enchanted by the unknown.

The ocean holds so much beauty, 

what is there not to love.

This is my second most viewed post for some reason. I didn't even tag it in any way. But because it is viewed a lot I thought I would revisit it and give it a little update.

I wrote this post in 2011, it is now 3 years later - 2014. Wow how the time flies by huh?

The oceans are at a great risk these days, sadly many of the beautiful coral reefs that we love to see documentaries of or see photos of are dying because of pollution and other human related causes as well as global climate change. It could be possible that in our life time most of these reefs will be gone, and the marine life that used to inhabit them will be lost to our world. 

If you are one of those people that is a go-doer and wants to help save marine life and get up close and personal to these beautiful ecosystems, here are some links.

One day I hope to get my scuba diving license and experience the beauty of the ocean from underneath the water and I will be equipped with a camera to capture some majestic moments of  the ocean.
We can all play a better part in maintaining the oceans and helping to prevent pollution by properly disposing of hazardous materials and waste that could end up in the ocean.

with love, Arie
