There are many things you can do to help protect our oceans, but did you know being a responsible pet owner is one of them? For example, National Geographic says you should "never flush cat litter, which can contain pathogens harmful to marine life." Also, they suggest never stocking an aquarium with wild-caught saltwater fish and also never releasing aquarium fish into any body of water, because it could potentially introduce non-native species to an ecosystem.
