COVID-19 Brings Hope For The Oceans

    Since COVID-19, less people have been going outside to places due to the quarantines.  With not as many people going out, there has been way less littering.   Plus, since less people are going places, the air is cleaner than before because people aren't driving as much.  The oceans have been cleaner and the environment has been less polluted.  

    Fisheries have been closing and aren't as busy due to the risks of catching the virus.  Many events held by fisheries have been cancelled.  The population of fish in the ocean has increased since they aren't being caught as much by the fisheries.  The ocean economy has been more sustainable since the start of the quarantines.  

    Less people are traveling and going to beaches, therefore, the ocean economy has been cleaner.  Air pollution has decreased and the population of fish has increased.  People might be restricted on going places, however it has helped make the environment healthier.  Do you think the global shut down due to COVID-19 has helped the environment?  Have you noticed any positive changes in the ocean economy?
