The document discusses two main causes of water pollution: chemicals and heavy metals. Chemicals from oil spills have severely harmed marine ecosystems by killing tens of thousands of birds, marine mammals, sea turtles and fish. Heavy metals also reduce marine life populations by directly killing large numbers of species like seabirds, sea otters and seals. Both chemicals and heavy metals negatively impact water quality and marine habitats.

Biological Diversity, the oil spill killed over 82,000 birds, 25,900 marine mammals, 6,000 sea turtles and tens of thousands of fish, among others. • As a result, the eco-system in the area was affected • As a result, the badly as it immediately killed population of marine life over a lots of marine species is reduced including around 250,000 seabirds, almost 2,800 sea otters and 300 harbour seals, among others.
