Open+Ocean

The large oceans are as follows: The Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean. || Oil spills are another problem. Although these are not caused intentionally, they are difficult to clean up. The oil not only causes a dark opaque layer on the sea and keeps plants from photosynthesizing, it also sticks to the skin/feathers/scales of other animals, preventing them from perfoming daily routines and thus killing them. Overfishing is another known problem. The demand for fish goes up, and in order to make profit, fisherman catch as much as they can. This results in an extra predator competiting for food along with the marine life, and disrupts the food web. The animals that do not get enough to eat, die. ||

 * Typical Plants: || Most plants found in the open ocean are types of plankton, however seaweed and kelp are often seen as well. ||
