How can you prevent the sea pollution?

You must be very careful about throwing away waste. Avoid buying plastic wrapped foods, because plastic cannot be recycled. As far as possible, walk or cycle and avoid taking the car, to cut down on the use of petrol, which releases poisonous fumes into the air. Use electricity carefully, and take paper, cans, bottles and cloths to be recycled, if possible. These are small ways which together can help in a big way to cut down on pollution.

How are birds affected by sea pollution?


Birds are some of the most sensitive creatures to sea pollution. Oil from an oil spill is readily absorbed into birds’ feathers. It is the feathers that trap heat to keep a bird’s body cools rapidly, and the bird dies from cold.

Birds are also poisoned by the oil when they try to clean the sticky oil from their feathers with their beaks. Oil spills also destroy the bird’s natural sources of food so that it starves to death.
