The negative effects of nuclear power plants on sea life is very limited as the sea water used for cooling is fully separated from the nuclear fuel. In addition, the regulations require that the sea water temperature rise due to its use for nuclear plants cooling should exceed 5 degrees centigrade. Many swimming beaches are located close to the nuclear power plants sites.

What animals and plants are found in the dead sea?
The dead sea has to much salt content to support plant or animal life.
Could a high or low tide affect sea life?
Since they live in water i dont think so, but a very very low tide may affect big sea life animals such as a shark or a whale as there may not be enough water to cover up the whole of them.
What plants live in the Bathypelagic Zone?
Phytoplankton,Seagrass.There are plenty of sea grasses and sea flowers beneath the ocean and other sea plants from which we make several use of things in our daily life such as sponges, and medicines. they are a sort of gift for us from plants under the sea which we get.
Do crustaceans eat fungi?
They are omnivorous - meaning they eat both plants and other animals.
When did plants first appear on land or sea?
Both. The generally accepted idea is that life first evolved in the sea. Insects, fish with bony fins and rudimentary lungs (adapted air bladders) and plants eventually left the water to colonize land. Life in both realms continued to adapt to their evironments over millions of years to produce the life that we see today.
How did the oil spill affect the land?
If oil gets on you it could kill you. Oil can kill all sea life and plants in the ocean.
Why nuclear plants are near sea?
nuclear plants are near sea because harmful radiations can be disposed through underwater and there will not be much population whereas if it is built where there is a high population then it creates air pollution which is a cause of death.
Can power plants and sea life coexist?
Yes, power plants and sea life can coexist through the implementation of proper environmental protections and monitoring practices. Technology such as cooling towers, fish screens, and marine life monitoring systems can help mitigate the impact of power plants on marine ecosystems. Additionally, choosing locations for power plants that minimize disruption to sensitive marine habitats can also help support coexistence between power generation and sea life.
How do mushrooms affect sea life?
they dont
Does the salinity of the ocean affect the color of sea plants?
no, because they are amune to it
If nuclear power was in Australia where would the plants be?
All nuclear power plants (Australian or otherwise) need to be located near a source of cooling water. That means being near a river or lake or sea.
How did geography affect life?
Located on the Mediterranean Sea, it led them to sea trade.
Do seals use plants in Antarctica?
There are no plants in Antarctica. Seals are marine animals and use sea life not land life, to survive.
How does nuclear power harm fish?
The greatest harm to fish from nuclear power, in terms of the numbers of fish killed so far, has been due to thermal pollution. The nuclear power produced at plants is only about 35% turned into electrical power. The remainder is called waste heat. When rivers, lakes, or the sea are heated up, it can kill fish. In some cases this has a profound effect on the species in the water. Nuclear power plants have lost radioactive materials into large bodies of water, harming sea and land life. Possibly the worst such event involved loss of material from the Sellafield plant in the U. K. into the Irish Sea.
What kind of sea life is in oceans?
fish, some mammels and plants
What do you find in the sea?
sea life such as dolphins, whales, fish, sea plants. you may also find litter and ship wrecks
How do hurricanes affect sea life?
yes hurricanes do affect sea life. why? because the winds can blow the water making it murky and unstable. the fish can get lost or the waves accidentally throw fish out of water on to rocks.
