Exploring the Dangers of Marine Pollution to Marine Life

Abstract

In a world where marine pollution is increasing, marine life is also under threat. Although the world has started to protect marine life, it should start by reducing marine pollution. In order to explore the harm of marine pollution to marine life, this paper summarizes the sources of marine pollution, the harm to marine life and the measures to be taken. The main sources of marine pollution are agriculture, which uses pesticides; industry, which spills oil; tourism, which produces waste; and everyday life, which discharges waste water. Different sources of marine pollution alter the marine environment to different degrees. Among the marine organisms affected by marine pollution, some animals are bound and injured by solid pollutants such as plastics, and some plants are covered by substances that enter the ocean with liquid pollutants and the effects of ocean eutrophication. After investigation and research, a series of measures will be proposed to government agencies and scientific research departments to reduce marine pollution, and young people will be urged to raise their environmental awareness and protect marine organisms. It is hoped that through the effective measures taken by various departments, human beings will be able to provide a near-"pollution-free" marine environment for marine organisms in the future, so that marine organisms will no longer be endangered.
