At least 220 ha of mangroves were oiled in Australia since 1970, and around 13 ha were killed. The extent of oiling depended largely on the amount of oil released. The area of deforestation however, depended on the type of oil with the greatest areas killed by crude oils and diesel, and...
Similarly, seagrass beds and mangroves are important breeding and feeding grounds for many marine animals, and their destruction can lead to a decline in the population of these animals. Another impact of marine pollution is the disruption of the food chain. Marine animals rely on each other for...
