This document discusses how human actions affect the aquatic environment and life below water. It begins with introductions from students and a teacher who will lead a conversation club discussion on this topic. They then ask questions to get people thinking about their relationship with water and how it is impacted by pollution, plastic, thermal contamination, and littering. Statistics are provided on how much carbon dioxide is absorbed by oceans and the percentage of oceans affected by pollution. The discussion then shifts to what conditions would be like if humans lived in oceans and had to adapt to that habitat. The document concludes by asking what actions people can take to help address these issues impacting life below water.
