Work Towards a Sustainable Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean is the smallest of the three major oceans in the world, but it consists of twenty-two countries in its basin, which is over a quarter of the world’s population. These countries depend on the resources of the Indian Ocean, as it ensures the country’s livelihood and provides food security. However, the over-exploitation by the countries residing in its basin results in it suffering from pollution and habitat degradation. The pivotal need to find sustainable solutions to protect the Indian Ocean to ensure human and environmental survival cannot be overstated. 

The Indian Ocean provides many distinct advantages to countries situated in its basin. It plays an important role in instigating the monsoon rain, which is essential to countries that depend on agriculture and also contribute to the balancing of climate temperature.
