The Life Saving Importance Of Ocean Conservation

By Nancy Russell


While there are several organizations working to preserve the ocean and its vibrant sea life and natural resources, some are better than others. In all cases, it is often donations from a number of different supporters which help with regards to Ocean Conservation. For example, most of these organizations are ran solely on donations from corporate and private entities. Therefore, it is often good to know the facts, goals, priorities and purpose of each before donating money or time to assist in these efforts.

The most notable of these organizations are the Ocean Conservancy and the Marine Council. Each agency has a specific set of goals and priorities as related to conserving marine life and the overall oceanic environment. As such, there are a now a number of colleges and universities which provide coursework and degree programs in marine biology as well as underwater environmental concerns.

The Oceanic Conservancy is concerned with keeping the ocean thriving with life while also maintaining a positive and nutrient rich environment for the communities and wildlife that need the ocean to survive. The Marine Council on the other hand, is working hard to promote the health and well being of the life swimming within ocean waters.

Both the Ocean Conservancy and the Marine Council have been around for quite some time. As such, both are often well respected by agency, corporate, government and private donors. For, while both have different yet similar goals, the ultimate priority is to save valuable natural resources which are necessary in sustaining a multitude of life forms.

Yet, neither of these organizations can continue to do this necessary work without the help of donors, volunteers and staff. For the most part, non-profits are ran solely on the donations of corporations, private individuals and in some cases, governments. Although, when it comes to eliminating acidification from the ocean floor, combating climate change and restoring coastlines and waterways after man-made and natural disasters, the funds received are often not near enough to complete these projects.

When it comes to the Marine Conservancy Council, it has helped to spearhead efforts designating and strengthening marine sanctuaries while protecting sea turtles through volunteer efforts around the world. The volunteers associated with the council are also part of a group related to cleanup of international coastlines.

The staff and volunteers at any non-profit are often the ones on the frontline working the hardest to achieve these goals. In most cases, non-profits related to this type work operate on a world-wide basis. As such, volunteers are often needed from different areas of the world. While donations are often the most desired form of support, volunteers are often the second. For, without these individuals there would be little to no success when it comes to this and other types of conservation.

Having already removed over 144,000 pounds of trash and created jobs in the millions, it is easy to see how these organizations have made a difference. In addition, as over two billion people rely on the sea life as a source of protein, these organizations are saving humans as well as the oceanic environment and the life breeding and living within its waters. As such, it remains important to support these and other non-profits now and the future.
