ocean pollution

Ocean pollution refers to the contamination of the ocean due to harmful substances and waste, negatively impacting marine life and ecosystems. Common pollutants include plastics, chemicals, oil spills, and untreated sewage. These pollutants can harm aquatic animals, disrupt food chains, and affect human health through contaminated seafood. Ocean pollution not only degrades water quality but also contributes to issues like climate change and biodiversity loss. Addressing this problem requires global action to reduce waste, improve waste management practices, and protect ocean habitats for future generations.
