One simple thing I can do to help protect the ocean is to use less plastic in my daily life. For example, I always bring my own reusable water bottle and cloth shopping bags when I go out.
This is really important because a lot of plastic trash ends up in the sea. Sea animals and fish can eat the plastic or get hurt by it, which is very sad. I try to do this every single day, so I do not throw away single-use plastic bottles or bags.
I think other people should do this too because it is very easy to change our habits. If everyone makes an effort, we can keep the ocean and coral reefs clean and safe for animals.
