Reducing Farm Pesticide

The use of pesticides on plants is affecting the ocean. When it rains the pesticides go into rivers and the rivers end in the ocean. The pesticides in the ocean are overfilling the ocean with nutrients, making algae and bacteria multiply at an alarming rate. Due to overfishing there arent enough fish in the ocean to naturally regulate the algae and bacteria. Since algae deplete oxygen in the ocean its creating these big dead zones where nothing can survive. Fishes and anything living in the ocean are in danger unless we do something about it. The first step would be to lower the number of pesticides used on farms and other agricultural places where food is grown.In order to accomplish this, the number of pesticides used needs to be reduced. This petition is to make people aware of the problem and to hopefully get the amount of pesticides used on each farm lowered to half of what is being used now and maybe even stop the use of them all together.
