Marine Pollutants

Marine pollutants are harmful substances that contaminate oceans, seas, and other large bodies of water, adversely affecting marine life and ecosystems. They include chemicals, plastics, oil spills, sewage, and heavy metals that can originate from various sources like industries, agriculture, and urban runoff. These pollutants can disrupt food chains, harm wildlife, and degrade water quality, posing risks to human health and coastal economies. Addressing marine pollution requires global cooperation to reduce waste, promote sustainable practices, and implement effective regulations to protect ocean environments.
