OK , the first thing you need to support is to be against anything that flirts or have any relations with Socialists and communists who are destroying all the Caribean oceans with Venezuelan Oil & Drug trafficking by the Regime International cartels, also the Amazon, El Arco Minero at Imataca Forest and Amazon Estate is been destroyed by the CCP China Mafias and the Castro Narco Terrorists.. that simple, I know for a fact, I had a big forest there and I fly all over the amazon every month and is very SAD how all the Indians Yanomami and Pemones are Kill, along with fires and mercury to extract the Gold. The USA is in a boiling point in world history if they decide for Socialist or Real Democracy with freedom of speech and Capitalism, and do a little homework about what happened in Venezuela, Spain, Nicaragua, Russia, Cuba, China, Iran, Hezbollah, Siria, and now coming near you like Mexico and USA, etc, etc, I was one of the most successful young Interprenerurs in Venezuela with a very well know a successful family with the best companies in America and all was taken away by the Regime. I can give you good free advice for a potential solution to save the Oceans, the Amazon, and 100 million of Families in America.

I totally agree. That man has spoiled the oceans. And the future generation is at stake. But the current generation can not understand until then that it is not worth throwing plastic. I am at a loss that an adult throws plastic bottles and glasses on the beach. As far as these people have no simple idea that they are polluting our ocean, the ocean without which he cannot live. He gives us food, oxygen. To begin with, it is necessary to strengthen schooling and to instill this culture of values from an early age. And it’s possible that we can defeat this stupidity.

Best Quotes About Oceans 1. "The ocean is this beautiful, unexplored place. Why on Earth everyone isn't down there, I don't know." Graham Hawkes 2. "Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." Gandhi 3. "The beauty and mystery of the ocean, fill our lives with wonders, vast beyond our imagination." M. L. Borges 4. "The human desire to obtain more is a sieve that can never be filled with all the water from the world’s oceans" 5. "We could learn to leave things alone and rest in the awareness – the ocean – rather than being thrown around by the waves. This is what meditation practice is all about." Geelong Thubten 6.

What little experience I had in the Caribbean was going on cruises in the different regions and stopping at a variety of ports of the Caribbean. As clean as the water appears to be, I could smell sewage at it seems every port. Just when you thought you wanted to go swimming or snorkeling, a breeze would blow through and You’d say to yourself...”maybe not”...so that seems to be a good place to start, updating and upgrading all the current systems in place. One would think there would be plenty of opportunities for companies who do just that to get government money to use for that purpose in trade for goods and services these less fortunate places could offer possibly related to trade or tourism. Just something to think about.

We all have contributed to the problem, so now it is time for all of us to contribute to the solutions. The major rivers flowing into the Caribbean in large part the cities and towns along those Rivers. Those communities with volunteers need to stop the remove plastic. Also collecting at certain points along the river. We need to do something else as packaging which is the source of majority of plastic. Look at parts of the Caribbean where Solutions have been put in place, improve on them. The introduction of lionfish has contributed to the mass loss a fish using the reefs for breeding 100 pound grouper starts out as a very tiny fish that is swallowed by a lionfish. Yes the overfishing occurs especially countries that's utilize factory ships all over the world oceans. Implement fish farming to help local communities in the Caribbean. It can be done safely in the ocean. Recreational drivers can help the most I have literally found sheets of plastic wrapped around coral where the coral has suffocated, taking the time to remove it and taking it out of the water from preventing it to happen again. It's all of us volunteering in different ways, if we can plant a tree and help the environment on the land, surely we can plan corals. Artificial reefs created with Reef balls. Enhancers fisheries of the islands. We can do it all of us together.

As in the rest of the World South African government are more interested in forming alliances with the likes of the CCP who have no regard for life let alone natural resources. CHINA is creating a beast through capitalism and its relentless approach for world dominance. Third world countries like ours sacrifice nature for a piece of that Pie. Unfortunately we face loss on all fronts sea and land in the name of pocket lining. This is a global issue which we need to stand together on. We have no government to go to to lobby , pressure from the outside world would be our only option.
