Sea Pollution- A Threat to Marine Life
The sea is polluted in different ways. Sometimes, things are dumped or split right into it. Waste and chemicals are also washed into it from homes, factories and farms.
The water people use in their homes gets dirty. Sewers carry much of this waste water away. Many factories get rid of their waste in a similar way. Most of this waste water ends up in rivers, lakes and oceans. If it is not cleaned first, it can pollute the water.
Fertilizers and other agricultural chemicals are sprayed on crops. When they are washed into rivers by rain, they reach the sea and pollute it.
Offshore oil rigs pump up oil from beneath the seabed. Sometimes, oil leaks into the ocean from these operations and pollutes the sea. Oil tankers are another cause of water pollution . If one of these ships has an accident, it can crack open and split oil into the water.
How we can help?
Our modern need for
waste removal often conflicts with our desire to protect the clean water in our rivers, lakes and oceans. Some small steps can be taken to reduce the risk of water pollution. Using biodegradable laundry detergent and washing-up liquid reduces the harmful effects of waste water. Leftover cooking oil and toxic liquids, such as paint thinners and motor oil, should never be poured down the drain. They should be absorbed with paper towels or newspapers and put into the rubbish bin.

Don't wait until we no longer catch any fish. Big industries must develop and promote the use of environmentally-safe technologies to reduce water pollution and to save marine life as well.
