TIDES OF CHANGE
Facing the dangers of ocean pollution
By John Mathew Marquez
First Place-SciTech Writing
NSPC 2018
In a world with oceans filled with rolling garbage and

waste, how will the Philippines survive?
Ocean pollution is a rampant issue in our society.

Tides of Change
According to the agency Ocean Conservancy, millions of
plastic bags, water bottles, cigarette butts, bottle caps,
and other waste are thrown into the oceans each year.
These water wastes are difficult to decompose,
therefore turning our oceans into landfills.
Aside from the adverse range of the adverse range of

health risks such as amoebiasis that can be contracted
by those who ingest the polluted water, ocean pollution
also causes environmental damages to numerous
coastal areas.
Tides of Change
The beauty of many natural scenic spots is being damaged by

the waste brought by ocean pollution.
The environmental damages of ocean pollution cause a chain

reaction with a nation’s economy. Polluted coastal areas affect
local tourism, such as lessening the number of flights to these
areas. Local businesses that depend on tourism are also
affected by the decrease in the number of tourists present.
Tides of Change
Wildlife is also affected by ocean pollution. Birds living near

coastal areas consume bottle caps and other waste, mistaking
them for a viable food source. However, the birds cannot digest
these materials, and as a result, they soon die of starvation.
Turtles are also affected by pollution. They consume plastic
bags, which resembles the turtles’ natural prey-jellyfish. Just
like the birds, they cannot digest the waste, and die soon
afterwards.
Tides of Change
World efforts are now focused on solving this issue. Annually, a

world coastal cleanup event is held to rid the shorelines and
coastal areas of any garbage present. Divers are also given a
task of cleaning the seabed and further depths of the ocean of
any waste they find.
Tides of Change
The Philippines is a nation that is greatly affected by ocean

pollution. Our country has various coastal areas which are an
asset to tourism. Sadly, ocean pollution has become a
significant threat. For example, Boracay, once a pristine area of
clear waters and clean sand, is now plagued by the amount of
trash that washes on its shores.
Tides of Change
The tides of change are upon us, and we must strive to make
our ocean cleaner not just for our society but also for the future
generation to come
