Marine ecosystems are the most severely affected by human activity. Many organisms are very sensitive to water temperature changes and many species are suffering due to the amount of garbage that we dump into the ocean. One of the best ways to help the environment is to stay educated. Consider taking a trip to your local aquarium. You can learn about these creatures and their habitats and if you really read the signs and ask around I am sure that you could learn a lot about the impact that humans are having on them. Luckily for jellyfish, warmer waters seem to actually be benefiting their species. However, the large majority of marine life do not have the same fate. So take a visit. Even if you do not learn anything of environmental significance you will at least have been in close contact with the ocean. Since most of us do not see the ocean very often it is easy to forget about what it truly holds. Hopefully just being exposed to marine life will remind you of its worth and give you a reason to want to protect it.
