∙ 15y agoThis is hard to determine.
The large Trash Vortexes of waste plastic are an obvious effect, but the effects of slightly changed sea water pH is hard to determine (dissolves coral, shells etc.)
Areas close to seaside cities may get a sewage impact but overall this is small, the harbours may be polluted but these only occupy a small percentage of the total ocean.
Oil globules may be found on the surface of much of the oceans. Thi s esuts from present day dumping and WW II sinkings.
