“Pollution effects on animals”

            Do you know why marine lie is dying? It is caused by us. Water pollution is in Oregon because it is all around the world, in most ever lake and river. If nobody does something about it we may not have clean water or any sea animals again. Two-thirds of marine life is endangered because of these things: toxic waste, boating pollution (skipped) vehicles, (skipped) waste water and agriculture. There are many people working to help sea animals.

            Some sea animals like birds eat fish with undigested plastic parts in the fish’s body so the birds suffocate with all that plastic. Some birds and other animals are found open with plastic parts in them, most turtles think the plastic is food then they are most likely to choke on the plastic. The heads of a lot of fish can get stuck in soda cans or bottles. Baby turtles can have the same thing happen to them. Most pollution comes from motor boats and garbage boats.

            There are many ways to solve this problem. One way I know of is a beach clean up organization called Solve. The group in 2012 have picked up estimated over 60,483 pounds of trash. Common trash found is bottlecaps, ires and bags. The most common trash is bite sized palstic parts. I hope I can help clean the beach with the Solve group sometime.
