Effects Of Ocean Pollution

Animals are affected by so many man made problems and because of the problems humans make animals go extinct or are slowly dying. Sea turtles are vulnerable to ocean pollution at all stages of their life from being eggs to swimming in the ocean. Toxic metals may concentrate in the liver and the kidney of sea turtles. Pollutants can cause immediate harm to sea turtles through direct contact or over time it builds up in their tissue and can lead to immunosuppression resulting into disease or death.
