Marine Pollution Including Ocean Acidification, Eutrophication, Marine Debris, Mercury in Fish, and Active Sonar [Book]
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Marine pollution occurs when harmful effects, or potentially harmful effects, can result from the entry into the ocean of chemicals, particles, industrial, agricultural and residential waste, noise, or the spread of invasive organisms. Many potentially toxic chemicals adhere to tiny particles which are then taken up by plankton and benthos animals, most of which are either deposit or filter feeders. Toxic metals can also be introduced into marine food webs. These can cause a change to tissue matter, biochemistry, behaviour, reproduction, and suppress growth in marine life. This book studies various types of marine pollution including carbon sink, adsorption, biomagnification, and bioaccumulation.
