Oil Spills are caused by
Ships with oil breaking
Runoff from boats
Waste that is put in the ocean
Off Shore drilling
Natural seepage
and road runoff
When the oil is spilled it goes in to oceans lakes and rivers
The effects of these spills cause reduction of light transmission, reduction of dissolved oxygen, the oil sticks to marine mammals and birds, and it destroys the marine environment.
There are 6 ways of cleaning up the oil: Mechanicals-booms, Skimmers, absorbents, chemicals dispersants and detergents, burning the oil and bioremediation.
