“Water and air, the twoessential fluids on which all life depends, havebecome global garbage cans.”Jacques Cousteau

WATER IS ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE!

YET WE HARM THIS RESOURCE EVERY DAY

ECOSYTEMS!!!

This is how most of us picture water

THIS IS HOW WATER REALLY IS

BECAUSE OF US!

Full of oil from oil spills like Exxon Valdez and Deep Water Horizon

Full of sewage due to dumping

Oceans and shore line full of trash because fishing vessels, cruise ships, and human dump their trash in our water.

Infested with invasive species like Asian Jumping Carp and Milfoil due to pollution and irresponsible trading and dumping

Aquatic Ecosystems Help Clean Water And Support Life

Yet Commercial Fishing and Tourism Destroy Creautre’s

Habitats

Bycatch like sharks and other intended animals are unintentionally caught and killed while fishing for other species. This wipes out ecosystems and species.

Fishing Methods like Trawling Destroys up to 25% of an areas seabed life being destroyed in a single pass.

Cruise ships dump 210,000 gallons of sewage., 1,000,000 gallons of grey water, and 37,000 gallon of oily bilge water in a single weak.

Cruise Ships Dump This

By Doing………………..

We Can Save Our Water

Eliminate Straight pipes Eliminating these would mean 60 million

gallons of oil, 2 billion pounds of trash, 850 million gallons of raw sewage, and 34 billion liters of chemicals waste would not be dumped into the world bodies of water.

Regulate Bycatch and Overfishing Eliminate oil spills Simply use less water

take 5 or even 7 minute showers instead of 10 run the sink less

We can stop Harm to our water. Its up to us!
