It can cause it to become poisonous and non usable, or it can kill most of the plants and animals in it, then we wouldn't have sea food or any of the nutrients we can get from the sea food. But most of all, it would ruin the habitat of marine creatures and organisms.

All of our waste drains down to the ocean. Animals get caught in our trash and die. They choke on all the pollution. Not only does our trash kill our marine life, it makes our oceans dirty and disgusting. Piles of trash have been spotted of the coast of California. Animals get caught in all the trash and end up being washed up on shore. A few years ago i experienced this. I was walking along the San Clemente shoreline and saw a seal washed up on shore. I took a closer look and notices that it had a massive piece of plastic stuck in its mouth, and wrapped around it's body. The plastic had also cut into the seals skin. Of course pollution affects marine life. PLEASE STOP LITTERING!

Yes. If they swallow a bit of the ocean water in a polluted spot, it could be like swallowing a cup of motor oil. The effect on humans from contaminated seafood may include birth defects .as well many genital order as well.

if the water gets too polluted, the fish and other ocean life will start to die off, when species start to die the food chain is disrupted, EX: less fish = more jellyfish

if the food chain is disrupted it could result in less food or tons of other things depending on the scenario

By drinking the stuff we littered in the sea. You don't want to drink salty oil do you or if you eat fish the fish will die out by drinking our chemicals.
