Marine threat
Harmful chemicals and oil find their way into the oceans, making them hazardous for ocean life. Some creatures may escape the pollution, only to become victims of other life-threatening dangers:
• some countries hunt whales for scientific reasons, but sometimes the carcasses are used illegally for food despite strict hunting laws.
.
• Many dolphins and other sea creatures die when they are trapped in huge fishing nets.
• several well-known species of fish may eventually disappear because of overfishing. If shoals are caught more quickly than the fish can reproduce, the number decline.
• Many turtles have been forced away from the beaches where they breed, as hotels and tourism take over. Sometimes turtles have been deliberately killed.
