Investigating marine pollution in the Mediterranean Sea as a main threat to organisms

Marine pollution has emerged as one of the most significant threats to the health and survival of marine organisms. With increasing human activities and industrialization, various pollutants find their way into the world s oceans, causing detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. This paper aims to provide an overview of the impacts of marine pollution on marine organisms. The paper highlights the sources and types of pollutants that contribute to marine pollution, including chemical contaminants, plastics, oil spills, heavy metals, and excess nutrients. These pollutants enter the marine environment through various pathways such as industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, sewage systems, and improper waste management practices. Understanding these impacts is crucial for developing effective strategies aimed at preventing further degradation of our oceans ecosystems. By implementing sustainable practices at individual and collective levels globally, precious marine environments efforts are preserved for future generations.
