MARINE LIFE Marine life includes all the organisms living on or dependent on water. The study of these organisms is called Marine biology.

Marine preservation Make Safe, Sustainable Seafood Choices Make Safe, Sustainable Seafood Choices Global fish populations are rapidly being depleted due to demand, loss of habitat, and unsustainable fishing practices. When shopping or dining out, help reduce the demand for overexploited species by choosing seafood that is both healthful and sustainable. Help Take Care of the Beach Whether you enjoy diving, surfing, or relaxing on the beach, always clean up after yourself. Explore and appreciate the ocean without interfering with wildlife or removing rocks and coral. Go even further by encouraging others to respect the marine environment or by participating in local beach cleanups. Don't Purchase Items That Exploit Marine Life Certain products contribute to the harming of fragile coral reefs and marine populations. Avoid purchasing items such as coral jewelry, tortoiseshell hair accessories (made from hawksbill turtles), and shark products.

ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF PHLUM MOLLUSCA Molluscs are beneficial as well as harmful to humans They are used as food for humans.either eaten raw or cooked. Shells of freshwater mussels are used in button industry Shells of oyster is mixed with tar to make roads Some oyster make valuable pearls i.e.oyster pearl Shells are also used in making ornaments Pearls are used in jewellery Some harmful molluscs like slug are injurious to garden and cultivation Shipworm damages wooden materials like wooden parts of ship,etc.

SHELLS USED AS BUTTON

CONSERVATION OF MOLLUSCS Improving the water quality of streams, rivers.etc. Reducing water pollution. The shell collecting hobbyists should be aware that their activities may impact the natural population of molluscs. Avoid damaging the habitat. Protect the endangered and threatened molluscs.
