Description:
Many of the damaging effects of the pollution of rivers and lakes can be seen on the oceans. Because many rivers eventually reach the ocean, contamination of the rivers can also cause ocean pollution. In the East, it was common for decades to go to the open parts of the Atlantic with boats and pour their garbage there. Large amounts of hospital waste, wastewater and waste suddenly returned back to Massachusetts to New Jersey in the summer of 1988. There were a lot of popular protests against this. The US Congress, which was under pressure from the public, passed the following year's law to ban the dumping of waste in the ocean. The law forbade the pouring of any pollutants into the ocean. However, 10 to 20 percent of the pollution is poured into the waste. Although mosquitos contamination can be seen along the coast, the central oceanic points also do not protect this danger. For example, Terhirdal, a Norwegian explorer and scientist, and his companions, saw masses of brown to grainy black or asphalt, from the traps that spread in the center of the Atlantic. The pollution was so much that he likened that place to the urban sewage outlet. According to David Leist (plastics, the size of oil spills, heavy metals, and other toxins causes mammals to die). Sea turtles are among the turtles and sea birds; turtles and sea birds can easily eat small things like plastics instead of their prey, which has up to now eaten 42 marine species of plastic. Despite the international ban on waste dumping in the ocean, ships estimate daily over 500,000 pieces of plastic containers and bags in the ocean.
