5. Problems arise from the ocean
resources:
• Over exploitation

6. Problems due to human population
• As population increases more resources
use
• Pollution to water surface
• Hazardous waste management
• More people exploited the oceans for
minerals and oil/natural gas exploration

10. Problems due to pollution
• Oil spills from ships
• 28% from extraction of oil & fuel fossils
from the ocean

14. Problems arise from ocean for
being exploited
• Ecologically
destructive e.g.
some species
become instinct,
natural habitat are
destroyed
3/23/1997 Author: Tomas U. Ganiron Jr 14
16. Problems due natural hazards
• Damages to property
• Lost of life
• Economic lost specially to those
dependent on ocean resources
3/23/1997 Author: Tomas U. Ganiron Jr 16
18. What can we do?
• Mariculture and
aquaculture- start
farming our seas
instead of hunting
3/23/1997 Author: Tomas U. Ganiron Jr 18
19. How about oil spills?
• Government sectors
and voluntary
organization with
civilians clean the
shores regularly to
maintain ocean
resources
3/23/1997 Author: Tomas U. Ganiron Jr 19
20. Lets clean our shores
• Picking up
trashes along
shorelines
• Proper garbage
disposal to
implement

21. Natural hazards
Ocean water submerges coastal buildings on Thailand’s Phi Phi Island after the worst tsunami in
history killed people in 14 countries rimming the Indian Ocean in December 2004. The death toll
reached more than 250,000 people. It far eclipsed the death toll caused by the second worst
tsunami, which destroyed Lisbon, Portugal, in 1755 and killed 60,000 people.
• Police authority zone 40 meters from foreshores
to protect ocean resources and to protect
property damages and life lost.

22. Ocean Laws
• First United Nation Conference on “Law on

• 1994 some provision are revised by the US
Congress mainly because US support private
companies and economically speaks US need it
badly.
• 1987, “Territorial Sea” extending 12 nautical
miles out of shorelines
• Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ), applies to all

fisheries, scientific researches and pollution
regulation.
