What causes ocean pollution?
- Ocean pollution is a complex mixture made up of mercury, plastic waste, manufactured chemicals, petroleum wastes, agricultural runoff, and biological threats, like harmful algal blooms. People are exposed to these toxins mainly by eating contaminated seafood. Coal combustion is the major source of mercury pollution in the oceans.
What are the consequences of ocean pollution?
- Some long term effects of ocean pollution include: Marine animals harmed: Pollution such as oil spills and debris can cause irreversible damage to marine life. Depletion of oxygen in seawater: Excess debris is entering the ocean. To degrade trash, oxygen is consumed. As a result, there are lower oxygen levels in the sea.
How does ocean pollution affect marine life?
- Plastic pollution in the ocean has a devastating impact on marine life and ecosystems. The most obvious one being the damage plastic items cause to animals when they come into contact with or ingest them, which include suffocation, entanglement, laceration, infections and internal injuries.

What if your neighbors dumped their trash
into your backyard every day, and no one ever came to pick it up? It would probably get pretty smelly and you might not want to live there anymore. . Our global backyard, the ocean serves as a place for all of us to work and play and harvest food. . As in this scenario, though, it has been treated for many years as a waste receptacle. . As human population has increased, so has our resource consumption and creation of waste products. .Since everything ows downhill, much of
our waste ends up in the ocean, the ultimate catchment. .At one time, people thought the ocean"s
vastness could dilute waste well enough to eliminate its impacts. . However, we now known that some pollutants remain in the environment for years, decades, or even centuries, and can signicantly alter marine ecosystems. . The ocean is not able to convert, assimilate, or otherwise rid itself of all the waste we produce. . Instead, it may be altered in ways that people never expected, limit- ing our ability to enjoy and reap the ocean"s benets. .Consequences of Pollution
Ocean pollution was ignored for years, but
in recent decades the consequences have become more visible. . On an individual level, pollutants can cause detrimental effects to the activities, health, and survival of marine organisms and humans. . On a larger scale, it threatens biodiversity, climate, and the preservation of some of the most treasured locations on the planet. . Notwithstanding, pollution costs us billions in terms of tourism revenue, coastal economic activities, and lost resources. .What can we do?
The good news is that, because much pollu-
tion is caused by humans, we also have the ability to reduce or eliminate it. . Through regular monitoring, established treatment methods, innovative science and technol- ogy, and environmentally aware policies, some pollution effects can be contained and reduced. . Many important action steps have already been taken: scrubbers" have been installed on coal power plants to reduce air pollutant emissions, advanced wastewater treatment plants have been built along the coasts to break down pollutants in sewage, use of some dangerous pollutants have been banned or restricted, and technologies to help prevent and treat oil spills are improv- ing. . Despite some successes in reversing the hazardous effects of pollution, much work remains to be done to protect the ocean"s health for future generations. .Know your Pollutants?
What do you think of when you hear the
word pollution? Many people envision a shorebird covered in black oil, or toxic green ooze being poured into a river. . The real- ity is that many of the pollutants we think introductionPollution is the release of
undesirable substances into the environment. . A pollutant can be any substance whose nature, location, or quantity produces undesired change in the physi- cal, chemical, or biological char- acteristics of air, water, or land. . 10POLLUTION IN THE OCEAN
about have a smaller impact on ocean health than others, some of which we cannot even see. . Even too much of a seemingly harmless substance can have deleterious effects on the environment. . For instance, small quanti- ties of elemental phosphorus and nitrogen are vital to life for people, animals, aquatic plants, and food crops. . When these nutrients are released into aquatic ecosystems in high concentrations, though, they can drastically over-fertilize algae. . Because high nutrient lev- els are linked to algal overgrowth, dissolved oxygen reduction, dead zones, and sh kills, they are now recognized as leading pollut- ants in the world"s coastal zones. .
