Ocean Pollution

Did you know that most of the ocean pollution comes from us? This pollution can hurt the ocean animals and it will affect the food that we eat. Some of the most worst ocean pollution is untreated sewage dumped into the ocean, toxic chemical, and oil spills. The sewage gets into the ocean because of sewage pipes that break or leak. This is a problem because the sewage makes to much algae, and it will remove the oxygen. Around 80% of the sewage that is in the ocean is untreated. To help stop sewage from getting into the ocean, you can get a better sewage system that does not leak if you live by the ocean, or a body of water. The next worst problem is toxic chemicals that are dumped into the ocean. These chemicals sometimes get deliberately thrown into the ocean by people. It causes problems because, the chemicals that get dumped into the ocean are eaten by the ocean fish and animals. When they eat the chemicals, the chemicals get absorbed into their body. The fish that eats the fish get the chemicals that the other fish ate. Then, when we eat the fish, we get the chemicals that have been dumped into the ocean. To stop this problem from happening, we can recycle the chemicals safely, and not into the ocean. To continue to the last problem, which is oil spills. Oil spills can be caused by leaky pipes, or oil tankers that can crash and spill oil into the ocean. Or sometimes just deliberately dumping it into the ocean. The reason this is a problem, is because when the oil goes down to the bottom of the ocean, it blocks the sunlight from the ocean and doesn't allow the plant and animals to live. We are guilty of causing around 12% of the oil spills that occur. It also affects the food that we eat, such as the shrimp, crab and other sea food that is eaten. In order to stop the oil spills the best that we can, we could dispose the oil safely by not putting it down the drain, but recycle it by taking it to a special place where they safely dispose it. In
