Ocean Dumping

       Ocean dumping is another simple and inexpensive method to dispose trash beside of open dumping. The difference is; in ocean dumping, the trash that has already been gathered will be thrown away into the sea or ocean instead of be pile up in one area like open dumping, no matter whether it will be processed first or thrown away directly.
       Actually, beside its simple and inexpensive method, ocean dumping can give many advantages if it is regulated and controlled carefully.  For example, the big size trash like construction or ship debris can become a good place for fish and other sea creatures to breed. So, it doesn’t only give many advantages for ecosystem in the sea, but also for fisherman to fishing in the strategic area. However, it needs to be remembered if that kind of trash can also be dangerous. Sometimes, some constructions or ship debris that are thrown away to the sea still contain some gasoline or lubricant that are dangerous for sea creatures. It is not only dangerous for sea creatures, even it can also be dangerous for human which consume the seafood which are contaminated by it.
       Ocean dumping in one side can give some advantages but in one side can also be dangerous. After all, it depends on us whether we can manage this method well or not.
