Our oceans are becoming extremely polluted. Most of this pollution comes from the
land, which means it comes from people. Firstly, there is raw sewage, which is
pumped directly into the sea. Many countries, both developed and developing, are
guilty of doing this. Secondly, ships drop about 6 million tons of garbage into the sea
each year. Thirdly, there are oil spills from ships. A ship has an accident and oil leaks
from the vessel. This not only pollutes the water, but it also kills marine life. Next,
there are waste materials from factories. Without proper regulations, factory owners
let the waste run directory into the rivers, which then leads to the sea. And finally, oil
is washed from the land. This can be the result of carelessness or a deliberate dumping
of waste.
