Climate change is a serious issue that is directly harming our oceans and several species of fish. The worldwide fish population has dropped due to the warming of oceans caused by climate change, which is triggered by the pollutants that human-made industries and automobiles create. If this continues, more ocean ecosystems will become distorted and thousands of fish will disappear. I believe that this issue needs to be clearly addressed in hopes of the people taking action upon this in a serious manner. In order to portray this, I drew multiple cars and factories that produced a 'large burning cloud of pollutants and CO2' which represents the excess amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. If you look closely, you can see several small dead fish surrounding the cloud. Towards the bottom of my drawing, I drew a dark black and brown ocean to show our dead ocean in the future. In the center, I drew a part of a large fish skeleton combined with the fish head of the 'cloud of CO2', to show that the life of fish depends on how we act to protect or harm our oceans.
