“Pollution in the world’s oceans is a very negative constant for the lives of millions of marine species”.
“Understanding in its entirety the problems that the human being generates and managing to reverse them is a fundamental step to mitigate the consequences. That is why I believe that education should be the protagonist and get more involved in these issues.”
“What we know today is that marine migratory species travel great distances to survive and thousands of others inhabit the beaches. Man overfishes, generates plastic waste and tons of garbage that alter food chains everywhere. All this leads to the loss of marine ecosystems. In turn, the oceans, in addition to regulating the climate and feeding us, produce most of the oxygen we breathe” Gonzalo tells us.

Why is the hammerhead shark so angry?
Why does the octopus seem somewhat disappointed?
How much longer can that manta ray resist pollution?
Surely from the observation new questions and many possible solutions will arise.
