threats to our oceans

Dirtying the ocean is also harming our ocean.
Did you know that....
An Oil spill kills marine creatures in the sea? Air pollution can cause toxic contaminants and nutrients to enter coastal areas and oceans? Beaches are closed due to sewage contamination that can cause lost of lifes? [Human and marine]
Tips:
Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater eventually find their ways back into the oceans.

Join in, do your part!
Enter activities organised by IYOR/Underwater World/ other organisations to help conserve and save marine lifes and the corals ;)

The ICRI International Year of the Reef 2008 is a worldwide campaign to raise awareness about the value and importance of coral reefs and threats to their sustainability, and to motivate people to take action to protect them. All individuals, corporations, schools, governments, and organizations are welcome and actively encouraged to participate in IYOR 2008.

Over the years, Underwater World Singapore has sought to raise public awareness on marine conservation issues via our educational exhibits and signage information, enriching educational programs, outreach assembly talks for schools and various ongoing conservation projects with other partners and institutions. We consider it an important responsibility of ours, as an oceanarium, to inspire our visitors to do their part to conserve the fragile marine environment. Our very own conservation slogan: Blue Mission - Inspire, Educate, Conserve, represents aptly this vision and the work that we strive to do.
