6+ocean+pollution

I like this plan! You've got a clear idea about what you're going to teach your students and a strong plan for doing it. Please add a slide for resources. --Mr. Beyer

ü Pollution is the contamination of the environment with waste. * ü Toxic pollutants are poisons and can cause serious illness and even death. ü In the 1950s mercury was dumped a factory into the ocean near the fishing village of Minamata, Japan. * ü Contaminated fish were caught and eaten by people from the village that caused brain damage, physical deformities, and birth defects. * ü Between 1967 and 1989 the 15 largest oil spills on earth spewed more than 14 million barrels of oil into the ocean and most of this oil came from huge tankers rupturing on rocks and reefs. * ü Pollutants taken in by some ocean organisms can be passed to others through the oceans food chains, the harmful affects of pollution then spread through ocean ecosystems and may eventually move terrestrial or land ecosystems. ü Marine pollution is when toxic pollutions or potentially harmful materials enter the ocean. ü Hundreds of thousands of sea turtles and sea birds die each year do to eating bags being entangled in marine debris. * ü Marine debris is manmade waste that’s is directly or indirectly deposited into the ocean. * ü In the present time, the oil spills, garbage dumping, accumulation of toxic materials and industrial wastes in the ocean are seriously affecting marine life. *

ü Since oceans are the biggest natural sources of water, taking care of them and the marine life thriving in the water bodies is the responsibility of every human being. *
