Oil Spills by Aaron hoffman

 




Oil spills are one of the worse things that can happen in an ocean. It can kill hundreds of marine animals and ruin habitats.These effects it has on the environment aren't short these problems can last a long while and they are not easy to clean up either. It takes sound science to clean up the oil, measure the impacts of pollution, and help the ocean recover. Oil spills are more common than you might think, and they happen in many different ways. Thousands of oil spills occur in U.S. waters each year. Most of these spills are small, for example when oil spills while refueling a ship. But these spills can still cause damage, especially if they happen in sensitive environments, like beaches, mangroves, and wetlands.
