Reading Passage:

"Protecting Marine Life"
Marine life faces severe threats due to human activities. Pollution, including plastic waste, poisons oceans and harms sea creatures. Overfishing reduces fish populations, upsetting the balance of ecosystems and driving some species to extinction. Loss of habitat due to coral reef destruction also puts marine animals at risk. Conservation efforts, such as marine reserves and sustainable fishing practices, are essential to protect ocean biodiversity. By reducing pollution and overfishing, we can preserve marine ecosystems for future generations.
