ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IS CRUCIAL
The rise of documentaries show cruel activities taking part around the world such as shark finning, turtle killings, overfishing, the coral decay and so many more atrocities.
In this era, the environment is not just under threat by the way we run our lives but also directly by humans just “doing the job”.
Safe to say that it is not just about making money but also about the lack of education across the world. Just like the rise of veganism, people eat less meat as there is an awareness of the animal cruelty and pollution. Therefore, the same should happen for the direct killing of marine life. Bottom line is that production happens because of demand and this needs to change.
Education is key. Schools and crew training centers should start incorporating environmental modules perhaps within pre- existing courses.
