Personal opinion: I think it is very important to preserve the beauty of nature and to keep the natural beauty without destroying its various wastes, such as toxic waste are thrown into the sea and so on. Also very common is the pollution of the seas by means of oil leaks and other substances transported on tankers. Ports are very important for the transportation of products, a variety of matters, and other. Just wanted to note that the bays are also very frequently of muddy exposed by people who leave behind the remains of plastic and other.
