Blog #14

1.Are or can marine animals get diseases/illnesses from California waters?
2. how is it that we hear about humans getting diseases from the pollution and not the animals?
does the diseases/illnesses get transferred into the marine amimals bodies and when we eat them gets it transferred to our bodies?
don't marine animals or animals in general have the same immune system as humans so how is it different?
3.- "World Oceans Day Statement on Plastic Pollution"
"The Cove"- "high levels of mercury in dolphin meat and seafood, the cruelty in capturing dolphins for entertainment, and the depletion of our oceans fisheries by worldwide seafood consumption."
Water Pollution - "The main problem caused by water pollution is that it kills life that inhabits water-based ecosystems. Dead fish, birds, dolphins, and many other animals often wind up on beaches, killed by pollutants in their habitat"
4. the way we handle our trash and plastic is consumed by the animals in the oceans which in turn hurt not only them but us.
