Why Conserve

One of the questions that I hear a lot of the time is, "why should we conserve?" And to be honest that is a great question and one that we should always ask is "why."

In this article I am going to try to help us to understand why we should conserve and why conservation is such an important part of our plant and why we should not only care about what goes into our bodies but also what happens to the places that we get the food and the different things that we need to be able to live.

One of the questions that I get is why do we focus on conservation?

one of the reasons that we at Beach Vibe Tours focuses on conservation is because when we are in our oceans, we can see how our choices as humans is affecting the environment and the ocean in a very bad way.

Ok sure we know that there are things that we do as humans that we need and sometimes its not the best for the environment but what does that have to do with BVT? Well, that is a great question!

Our business is owned by a marine biologist that focuses on conservation but in many different areas of work.

One of our biologists focuses on shark ecology and conservation while one of our biologists focuses on coral ecology and conservation and that's why we are so based in conservation and ecology!

But what are we going to do at BVT to be able to help with conservation?

One of the many things that we have planned and are currently working on is coral, macro and seahorse ecology and conservation!

How are we doing that?

The way that we are doing that is that we are working on conserving the coral that we use for the aquariums in the homes and the aquariums that you can go into and see these amazing creatures! And the way that we do that is with farms!!

That's right BVT has coral, macro algae and seahorse farms that we are working hard to grow and flourish!!

The goal with this is to be able to supply local aquariums with coral and animals so that we are not taking animals from the ocean!!

I know some people think we shouldn't have them at all!!

And I totally understand where you are coming from but one thing that I think of is, for my friends that have disability's or have autism, how would they be able to see some of these amazing creatures just because they can’t go into the ocean does that mean that we want them to be cut off from the amazing world that is the ocean??

One thing that we are also working on is that all our animals’ habitats are as close as we can to being like their natural environment!

While it won’t be perfect, we are working to get it to the point where it is full of bio activity and that it is full of life and abundance!!

how are we working on our grow farms and the conservation?

One of the things that we are doing is on our grow farms we are working on making the food that is needed for our systems and the different environments so that we can provide our animals with the best and most balanced diet that we can give them!

To answer the question of why we should be worried about conservation, if we are not careful about conserving our ocean there is a lot that could go wrong, if we fully loose our coral reefs this means that we are at the risk of losing the fish and the different animals and if we lose these animals and the fish it is going to obviously hurt our food supply that we have and then the animals that usually eat fish will start to starve and or they will start to look for different food sources and this could lead to a lot more of problems for the species of the different animals which would have a domino effect on the different species in the water, land and sky.

Coral reefs support over 25% of marine life that is a massive chunk of the ocean and if we fully loose our coral reefs then over 25% of the ocean will start to die off, again it will start to domino effect the oceans ecosystem and then in tail it will hurt the land as well.

What are some things that you could do to help with the conservation?

There are a lot of things that are simple things to do to help conserve the oceans and not only the oceans but the land as well!

Here is a list of things that you can do to help with conservation!

1.     Use reusable bags, yes everyone says to use reusable bags, but it is truly one of the easiest things to do to help with conservation!

2.     Use reusable glass containers for your food, this is going to be an amazing way to help keep plastic out of the ocean and out of the ground. If you use glass and it cracks or breaks its ok!! The glass can be put in the ocean, and it will turn into homes for animals and for sea glass!

3.     Volunteer at a conservation center or a non-profit! If you can volunteer at a conservation center this is also going to be able to help with the fieldwork!

4.     Another thing you can do is to reuse as much as you can!!!

These are a few ways that a lot of people can help with conservation and yes some of these are things that a lot of people have said and are saying to do but it is always an amazing reminder to all of us!
