Earth’s marine life and the world’s oceans still can be saved by 2050, according to a group of scientists. But to make that thing possible, rebuilding efforts need to take place. This group of scientists reports that rebounding sea life is possible and even from humpback whales of Australia to elephant seals in the United States and green turtles in Japan. But the bad thing is that humans have been still damaging the oceans and their inhabitants. Overfishing, coastal destruction, and pollution have damaged sea life. After tolerating this much damage yet, we are experiencing amazing resilience of the seas.
What are scientists saying?
The scientists have shared an amazing fact. They say there is now a way to craft an ocean renaissance for wildlife by 2050. And this way includes the entire world’s people rely on such as from food to coastal protection to climate stability. To make this step successful, they have to include protection for large swathes of ocean, pollution control, sustainable fishing, and it may cost billions of dollars a year. Still, they also say that it would bring benefits ten times as high. Saving oceans from acidification, the devastation of coral reefs, and loss of oxygen needs to be saved as these are making climate crisis more prominent. The good news is that a growing awareness of the ability of oceans and coastal habitats such as mangroves and salt marshes are there to rapidly intake carbon dioxide and bolster shorelines against increasing sea levels.

Scientists also said that now we have a very narrow way of an opportunity to deliver a properly healthy ocean to our next generations, and scientists have the knowledge and tools to do so. Failing to accept this challenge and not performing according to only give our grandchildren a broken ocean and below the standard of life. And this should not be an option ever. A professor from the University of York, Callum Roberts, said climate change and overfishing are making the situation more complicated, yet there is hope in the science of restoration.
The message we should obey
If today we stop killing sea life and start protecting it, it will come back. We can make the oceans better, and it will also economically help for human wellbeing and, of course, for the environment.
According to the published review in the journal nature, global fishing is becoming more sustainable and also the destruction of sea habitats such as mangroves and seagrass meadows. It is also a good thing that in areas from Tampa Bay, Florida, to The Philippines, these habitats are being reinstated.

Continuously hurting nature and exacting monetary benefits from nature are no more tolerable practices. It is not that only we will grab everything. We have the responsibility to give our next generations the freshness of nature, we have enjoyed earlier and to stop all the harmful practices today.
