The Deep Sea

Enought with the ranting . I'd like to talk bout something i love . The Sea.

So what my mind wonders about is . How much life is there under the sea? The sea is so vast that many people believe what we have discovered in the sea is only a small part of the vast ecosystem. Why would people say this ?
Well the populations we have found normally lives from a 40 m to maybe 200 m depth . but what lives deeper than that ? A human attempting to go below 100m i believe would get his lungs crushed by the amazing water pressure .
The biggest shark in the world currently lives deep in the depth of the water. There are fishes who like at 400 m down and some even to 1200m.

10,911 meters (35,797 feet)6.78 miles that is the deepest part of the ocean in the world . od you know what that means? It means is you put mount everest int o this part of the ocean it would vanish . It has been said and proven that the actualy highest mountain in th world counting it not form sea level but from the bottomw of the mountain to the top in actually a mountain in the sea . That means there is a mountain submerged in the sea which is HIGHER than MOUNT EFVEREST . Imagine what life can be found at such depths . What evolution has done to the populations that deep where light itself cannot penetrate . Facinating i find it .

Even knowing this OUR country especially lets sewage flow in to our sea OPENLY . What has that done? It has damaged coral reefs sto an extent that i believe it cannot recover . Sharks in our waters have been either killed for their fins or died from such polution . visibility in water in kk during diving at best would be 6 METERES! And that is if you are LUCKy . at average it has beeen only 32 metres for me .Imaginge visibility in Sipadan as it used to be could got up to 20 - 40 m . Yet ours is only 3-6 m 0.o imagina what sewage and poluted water we swim in .

My parents went to the market that day , They were selling Bumphead fishes . I afish which you would rarely fins in amrkets cause of its horrible tecture and taste . But yet fish mongers are forced to sell these fishes . Why? The number of fish population is decreasing DRASTICLY. I magine what kind of fish you would be eating next time?

The World I Believe Has No Cure .
