OUTLINE
 I. Causes of ocean pollution
• Oil spill are caused mostly
by mishandle of ships.
Vandals and illegal dumping
are also a contributor to this
problem.
• Humans are the sole

waterways.
 II. Effects of ocean pollution

• Oil spills affect marine life by
degeneration and is critical
when it comes to eggs. Other
side effects like Enlarged
livers and changes of heart
and respiration rates are also
to be observed.
• General waste thrown into
bodies of water cannot be
broken down; instead, this
contributes to the buildup of
trash in such bodies and can
also cause serious diseases and
disasters.
• Chemical waste dumped into
bodies of water affect marine
life in a severe level.
Chemicals can also seep
through water reservoirs and
can probably get into ones
glass of water.
 III. Solutions to ocean
pollution
• Proper and continuous ship maintenance minimizes
the probability of oil spills. Other contributors,
including illegal dumping, must also be supervised.
• 3r's: reduce the use of single-use plastics. Reusing
plastic packaging as many times as possible. And
recycling rather than throwing away.
• A campaign against companies which dump chemical
waste must be initiated to raise public awareness and
exert pressure on them. With enough numbers, an
embargo would definitely happen, pressuring the
contributors to halt their operations.
