Answer 2

Water pollution affects sea lions in various ways. Pollution can contaminate the water they swim in and drink. Some contaminants from pollution are stored in the fish and other prey that sea lions eat, which then affects their own health. Sometimes the sea lions are injured after trying to eat trash thrown into the water.

Answer 3

I am niot an expert or know anything really about sea lions but this may still be helpful.

Essentially, yes it does. By having pollution in ocean, creatures such as seas lions may choke on it and die. Also, the hole in ozone layer/global warming affects them too because of the melting ice caps, increases the water temperature and also decreases the salinity of the ocean.

I hope that helped!
