Ocean Pollution Effects

Water degradation is causing creatures in the ocean to migrate, or die because of the amount of toxic waste being thrown into the ocean. "The oil spilled in the ocean could get on the gills and feathers of marine animals, which makes it difficult for them to move or fly properly or feed their children"( What is ocean pollution?") Oil spills can harm and/or kill marine animals. When the marine animals get the oil in their feathers they can fly, so therefore, they wouldn’t be able to provide food to feed their children. Many sea creatures and different animals are harmed and/or killed by the amount of pollution caused by humans.

Pollution is causing deaths because the plants have no food to survive. For plants, animals and even ecosystems as a whole they vary. The specific effects vary depending on what pollutants enter the environment. Sometimes, water pollution causes an explosion of new plant growth by providing necessary nutrients and food. Other times, it can harm or kill plants by changing growing conditions, such as by raising or lowering the environment’s acidity. Animals can become snagged on the plastic or mistake it for food, slowly killing them over a long period of time. (Littering) 'littering such as throwing plastic bottles out in the water is
Noise can also cause harm. The sound waves and the noise from the oil rigs can travel for miles. Migration, communication and hunting reproduction patterns. This causes inability to find food, and causes them to develop chronic stress. Pollution is causing more harm to the animals than people think they are causing to the environment.( Noise Pollution Harming Sea Creatures) "chronic and excessive noise exposure is harmful to our hearing and overall health and now there's evidence suggesting that noise pollution is not only toxic to humans, but also adversely impacts sea creatures such as dolphins, whales and other marine mammals, collectively called
