Noise pollution in marine parks:-.
Causing temporary or permanent hearing loss Causing a stress response Forcing animals to move from their preferred habitat or divert from their migratory path Disrupting feeding, breeding/spawning, nursing, and communication behaviors
Ocean noise pollution is a growing problem that significantly harms marine life around the world. Let’s explore the damaging consequences of this type of pollution:
1. Disruption of Communication and Navigation:
o Marine animals rely on sound for communication, navigation, and finding food.
o Excessive noise interferes with their ability to communicate effectively, locate prey, and avoid predators.
o Stressed communication can lead to confusion and disorientation, affecting their overall behavior and survival12.
2. Physiological and Behavioral Effects:
o Auditory masking: Anthropogenic noise can mask important natural sounds, making it difficult for marine organisms to hear vital cues.
o Cochlear damage: Prolonged exposure to loud noise can harm the delicate hearing structures in marine animals.

The ocean is the life support system for the planet, providing 50% of the oxygen we breathe and regulating climate. The ocean is also the pump that allows us to have fresh water. It is the driving force, along with the sun, of the global circulation system that transports water from the land to the sea to the atmosphere and back to the land again.
Plankton – the most important group of plants and animal species on the planet (excluding bacteria). Plankton populations have been diminished by 40% since 1950,

Every year 65 billion animals are slaughtered to feed humans and some 40% of all the fish caught are converted to fishmeal to feed pigs, chickens, domestic salmon, fur-bearing animals and cat food. With fish populations diminishing, the corporations are looking to replace fishmeal with a plankton paste.
Is cheap fishmeal for domestic animals worth robbing the planet of our oxygen supplies?

Some of this oxygen is produced by seaweeds and sea grasses, but the vast majority of the oxygen is produced by phytoplankton, microscopic single-celled organisms that have the ability to photosynthesize. These tiny creatures live at the surface layer of the ocean (and in lakes and rivers) and form the very base of the aquatic food chain.
During photosynthesis, phytoplankton remove carbon dioxide from sea water and release oxygen. The carbon becomes part of their bodies.
Providing oxygen and sequestering carbon dioxide is the major contribution of plankton, along with forming the foundation for the entire oceanic food chain.
The fish- and animal-killing industries are robbing the seas of oxygen production for short-term profits.

These are the things that DO NOT get discussed at Climate Change Conferences or any governmental issues.

Everyone knows that trees play a major role in producing oxygen in our atmosphere. That’s why the Amazon rainforest is known as the ‘lungs of the Earth.’ But did you know that around 50-80% of oxygen production on our planet comes from our oceans? Most of this oxygen is produced by plankton and other photosynthesizing bacteria. In turn, this oxygen is consumed by marine life and by humans too in the air we breathe. The moral or the story? For a healthy atmosphere, we need a healthy ocean. And a healthy ocean needs healthy coral reefs.

Club Med the Environmental destruction Organization.
Continues every night starting at 9.30pm and goes on till +2am next morning.
The Seychelles Marine Conservation group are restoring coral reefs in the St Anne Marine Park. But Club Med kills their restoring program with its noise pollution.
We cannot sleep 1.7 kilometers away till the Club Med finishes their bad attitude, as the noise is loud and vibrates the bed the noise goes through the cushions.
Yes all the authorities know about this problem from the SNA to the M of Environment, the M of Tourism,
The President of Seychelles, State House and others+. But to this moment, nothing seems to be done to calm this situation.
Two written reports have been given to the Victoria Police, and a further 11 calls have been made to the said.
Club Med Continues regardless.

The Marine Conservation group are restoring coral reefs in the St Anne Marine Park. (Great job guys)
But Club Med noise pollution continues every night to destroy the marine life and the hard work done by the Marine Conservation group but no one cares. Including the police who have been informed many times.
The government has said they will fine people and says it will put a stop to it.
WHEN?
