OCEAN LIVES MATTER (Series III)

 " I toiled all night, just before I crop out, some fish have started to rot ".

Sanitation is the act of clearing and cleaning of dirt/waste and harmful substances from the environment. Harmful/toxic waste is a bane to human lives, animals, and the environment. To live and lead a healthy life, sanitation is a necessity. The question now is, how safe are we from the waste/dirt we clean off our bodies and surroundings? Some people think sanitation is about removing waste from their vicinity.

Dear Sir/ma, you only hid the waste. Yes! You will find it in no distance time. I should tell you the place. It is in the air you breathe in, the water you drink, and the food you eat. My heart ached as I listened to this fisherman recounting how the water bodies have refused to yield their seafood and the little harvest gets routine within a short time.

Science/literature has established the relationship between toxic waste and the reproduction of lives either on land or water. The fisherman in his native knowledge also affirmed that waste channeled to water bodies pollutes the water (habitat) for aquatic lives, reduces their productivity, and causes their decay in a short time.

Do you know the implications of this on human health?

🦈Short supply of seafood to the market, a prerequisite to inflation.

🦈 Supply of contaminated seafood for public consumption

🥲 High tendency of unintentional food poisoning resulting to health impairment

😷 Public health challenge.
