Jacqueline Fernandez Supports Marine Conservation In India!

Jacqueline Fernandez loves the sea and has taken up a social cause and associated herself with marine conservation. She wants to lend her support to the environmental cause in order to save the marine life. A source close to the actress opened up to HT, "Jacqueline is someone who loves the sea and visiting beaches. She will now be spreading awareness to save the flora and fauna in India."

Jacqueline opened up by saying that our ecosystem is taking a severe beating and she'll do everything possible to combat it. She said, "Around the world, marine ecosystems are being threatened and destroyed by human activities. Take a stroll along any beach or a ride on a ferry, you will get an idea of how much litter is floating around in the form of plastic bottles, fish boxes, light bulbs, scraps of fishing net or timber."

She says globally the seas are filled with garbage and it's a disheartening sight and will take measures to prevent the filth being thrown all across the sea. "We can start with the smallest of steps to contribute towards marine conservation, like restricting or reducing our use of plastic products. Plastic ends up as ocean debris, contributing to habitat destruction and killing thousands of marine animals each year. We can also help by not littering beaches and waterways, and disposing off waste in an environmentally safe way, and reusing and recycling whenever possible."

She summed it up by quoting her own experience by the sea and said, "I've witnessed this many times on the ferry to Alibaug or Madh Island, and it's a disheartening sight. We need to educate people and spread awareness on marine conservation."
