These chilling drawings show a bleak view of the world's polluted oceans in the future – as seen through the eyes of a child. School children were invited to draw pictures showing what they think the world’s oceans would look like in the year 2070 – and they make for disheartening viewing.
Youngsters filled the images with plastic and rubbish, as well as creatures consuming the waste in the sea. It comes after research of 1,091 children, aged seven to 11, found six in ten are “worried” about the future of the ocean, and 58 per cent want to do more to protect the planet.
Nearly two-thirds (62 per cent) of those, who are worried about the ocean, are scared fish will die out if we don’t do anything to save our seas, with a further half (52 per cent) frightened that whales will fall ill.
