Small particles and emulsions may be ingested or block the feeding mechanisms of invertebrates such as oysters‚ starfish‚ sponges and corals. These particles also may have toxic components‚ so the effects can be physical‚ chemical or both. The most dramatic impact of oil spills is the coating of larger animals with oil. Animals that breathe at the surface like dolphins
