We can stop putting oil into the oceans and stop littering on the beaches.

We need to recycle to help protect our oceans.

We need to stop with all the throwing trash everywhere. It makes the world a dirty place. It can also kill animals in and out of the oceans.

We can help pick up garbage and throw it away. But if possible recycle bottles and other plastics.

It is possible to protect our oceans by:

1) Not dumping any trash in the ocean which includes food and drinks

2) Have a meeting for a beach and ocean cleanups every Saturday, or Sunday.

3) Pay attention to the "No Littering" signs.

4) If you ever find something thrown in the ocean, pick it up and then throw it away in a trash can.

5) Encourage you community to place trash cans at each of their beaches.

6) If you see someone throwing away trash not correctly, tell them to throw it away in a trash can.

7) If you ever go snorkeling, never take anything. One little mistake can cost the animals there a lifetime.

8) If your fishing line gets caught, don’t cut it off. Try to raise the sea life and then remove it properly.

9) Never mix saltwater fish with freshwater fish! Either one of them will die if you return them to the ocean.

10) Try to save time on showers! I know it might be fun, but remember what problems you are causing the fish out there. 

 I hope it helps.

I too think one way to tell people to protect our oceans is to not throw garbage on the beach or in the ocean.

To help protect our oceans, you can pick up trash on the shore, and take shorter showers. Also you should turn off the water when you don't need it when you are brushing your teeth.

That's correct. You shouldn't throw balloons up in the air because eventually they pop and sometimes fall into the ocean and some animals can die by eating the rubber.

One way to protect our ocean is to pick up all the garbage lying on the beach and in the water. 

I think that not throwing your garbage is a good idea. Because throwing garbage makes it difficult for the animals to know if it's food or not and if they eat the garbage they might choke and eventually die which is not good. But even then people don't understand the basics!

I agree. I think you can help protect the ocean by picking up garbage. For example, picking up cans, bags, and wrappers. Turtles and many other animals get confused with the garbage, and think it's their meal. They can die just by eating garbage.

1. Never return aquarium fish into the ocean or other body of water. This practice has introduced non-native species to many areas disrupting the balance of marine ecosystems often causing widespread destruction.
2. If you learn to dive, learn to dive responsibly. Don't touch the reefs or marine life, and don't take souvenirs. Leave only bubbles.
3. Only 10% of the big fish that once lived in the ocean remain today (because we ate too many of them, too fast) and they are likely not coming back soon. According to a recent study, if we don't limit fishing and seafood consumption now, there will be no more fish in the next 50 years.
4. Vote! Vote for candidates who support marine conservation and contact your representatives to notify them of your concerns for marine life and the marine environment.
5. Keep beaches clean. Plastics, fishing line, and other debris harm sea life and pollute the ocean. Clean up after yourself.
6. If you own your home, install water-saving toilets. You'll save significant money as well. Everything that flows downhill, flows to the ocean.
7. Take shorter showers.
8. Collect rainwater from your home's downspouts to use for watering the garden
9. Join an underwater cleanup group.
10. Don't dispose of trash or toilet waste in the ocean.

I think one way to protect our oceans is to put more trash cans on the beach. Because if there's not a trash can near by, they will be lazy and throw it in the ocean.
