Environmental impact of oil pollution on marine organisms
Oil spills can have a serious impact on marine organisms, those that use or benefit from resources of the sea and on coastal activities. The fate of spilt oil depends on a number of factors, such as the amount of oil spilled ; its initial physical and chemical characteristic ; the prevailing weather and sea conditions ; and whether the oil remains at the sea ore comes ashore. In most cases, such damage is temporary and caused primarily by the physical properties of oil creating nuisance and hazardous conditions. In some cases many years may be required for recovery to take place and on rare occasion, the damage may be irreparable. The effects of oil on marine organisms are caused by either the physical nature of the oil (physical contamination and smothering) or by its chemical components (toxic effects and accumulation leading to tainting). Nevertheless, marine organisms may also be affected by clean-up operations or indirectly trough physical damage to the habitats in which plants and animal live. However, damage to environment can often be minimized if correct countermeasures are taken promptly.
