This big water, they call it urban sea, it’s a real head-scratcher. City folks live by the water, and it’s all mixed up, folks and the big water. They build their houses and roads right up to the water’s edge.
Keeping the Water Clean
Now, keeping that water clean, that’s the big thing. See, all the junk from the city, the trash, the dirty water from washing and flushing, it all goes into the sea. And that ain’t good for the fish or the plants, or even us folks who like to swim or eat the fish.
- Don’t use those bad chemicals, the ones that kill everything.
- Gotta throw away the bad stuff the right way, not just anywhere.
- All that dirty water from homes, it needs to be cleaned up before it goes to the sea.
They say most of the sea is messed up by what folks in the city are doing. And in some places, they just dump all their dirty water straight into the rivers and the sea. That’s just wrong.
Making Space for Nature
Then there’s the building. They build so much, there’s no room for the swamps and the places where the little fish like to hide. They just pave over everything. It’s like they forgot that the water needs those places to stay healthy. And if the urban sea ain’t healthy, we ain’t gonna be healthy either.
Gotta leave some space for nature, you know? Let the swamps be swamps. Let the little fish have their hiding places. Don’t just build and build until there’s nothing left but concrete and roads.
Don’t Take All the Fish
And the fishing! Oh, they take so many fish. Too many! They gotta leave some fish in the sea to make more fish. If you take all the fish, then what? No more fish! It’s simple as that. They say if we stop taking so many fish, and stop making the water so dirty, the sea can get better. It can fix itself, kind of. But we gotta give it a chance.

City by the Sea
This urban sea, it’s where the land and the water meet. And the city folks, they gotta learn to live with the water, not just use it up and throw it away. We need to remember that the sea is important, not just for the fish, but for us too.
- The city and the sea, they gotta live together.
- Don’t take all the fish, leave some to make more.
- Don’t just build on everything, leave some space for nature.
It’s a mess, this urban sea. But maybe, just maybe, if folks start thinking a bit more, and doing things a bit different, it can get better. We gotta try, at least. For the fish, for the water, for us.
That water level, it’s going up, they say. The cities by the sea, they gotta be ready for that. Gotta build things different, maybe. If they give the sea some space, maybe it won’t be so mad at us.
The ocean is important
The big water, this ocean, it’s a big part of everything. It’s where the weather comes from, and the fish we eat, and it even helps keep the air clean. If we mess up the ocean too much, we’re gonna be in big trouble.
They are talking about the urban sea and how it’s all connected. The cities and the ocean, they’re like neighbors. And if the neighbors don’t get along, there’s gonna be problems.

- Need to stop those nasty chemicals from getting into the water.
- Need to be careful about how we build things near the coast.
- Need to give the ocean a break, let it heal.
And the cities, they make a lot of trash. That trash ends up in the ocean, hurting the animals and making the water dirty. We gotta do better with our trash. Recycle, reuse, don’t just throw things away. It’s not that hard, is it?
It’s all tied together, this urban sea thing. The city, the people, the water, the fish, everything. We gotta remember that we’re all in this together. If we mess up one part, we mess up the whole thing.
Those city folks, they’re starting to see that they need to change things. They are trying to clean the water. Some other places are trying to protect the swamps and the coasts, so the little creatures have a place to live. It’s a start, I guess.
But it’s gonna take a lot of work. Everyone’s gotta do their part. Don’t use those bad chemicals. Throw your trash away right. Don’t take too many fish. Be careful how you build things. It’s not rocket science, you know? Just plain common sense.
This urban sea, it’s a big deal. And the way we treat it, that’s a big deal too. We gotta do better. For the ocean, for ourselves, for the future. It’s the only ocean we got.
It ain’t just about the urban sea, it’s about the whole darn planet. We only got one, and we gotta take care of it. It’s like our house, you know? If we trash our house, where are we gonna live? Same goes for the Earth. We gotta keep it clean, keep it healthy, or we’re all gonna be in a heap of trouble. The urban sea is just one part of it, but it’s a big part. If we can get that right, maybe we can get the rest right too. Maybe.
