Marine Pollution
Marine pollution has become a major global issue. It is now becoming a serious concern that the ocean will no longer be a safe place for marine life and humans. There is a growing concern that pollution causes serious problems nowadays particularly health problems. This essay will argue that marine pollution should be addressed immediately. Firstly, the causes and the effects will be discussed, and some solutions to hoe marine pollution can be reduced.
To begin with, marine pollution is rising over a year . Many people are disposing chemical, sewage and garbage in the ocean which kills many marine organisms. The main food chain affects a wide spectrum of species and it will be rise over the years. For example, oil spills choke plants and animals preventing respiration and it will be a major breakdown for sea birds and mammals. Marine pollution cannot be stopped but can be reduced when people use proper disposal of chemical and rubbish. The new jersy-size dead zone that forms each summer in the mississippi River Delta or the thousand-mile-wide swath of decomposing plastic in the northern pacific ocean to see that this 'dilution ' policy has helped place a once flourising ocean ecosystem on the brink of collapse.
Another cause of marine pollution is sewage disposal in the ocean. For example, untreated or in part treated sewage matter, or in nature rich industrial waste matter such as that from fish dealing out plants. Decompose of organic matter causes a drop in dissolved oxygen, particularly in clams and weather and secluded bays. This can cause death of marine plants and animals, and possibly will lead to changes in biodiversity. Other problems associated with sewage include parasites and bacteria’s that force closure of public coastal beaches and poisoning of fisheries. Hence, it becomes the responsibility of the government of the area to ensure that the sewage is properly disposed of and that it is treated.
