![]() Marine Pollution. Description. Our oceans are under attack, as our garbage, wastewater, toxic spills, . Lately, there is the growing concern about plastic patches in the sea, underwater noise and invasive species. This book on marine pollution describes these different threats to life in the oceans, as well as the relevant modern research methods. It ends with a description on international legislation preventing pollution by the maritime sector (MARPOL7. Meant for a student with already basic knowledge of biochemistry and physiology. Preface. Nothing so vast as Earth. Nothing so unknown on our planet as its variety of life, in morphology and in functioning, as the billions of organisms sheltered in the waters. Nothing so important for maintaining a homeostatic equilibrium on Earth, beneficial for all its inhabitants, including mankind. To this end, a suitable sample of this literature has been used directly as core material, and the avid reader is referred directly to several interesting research reports, even from the past months. It is not possible to build up to such a goal from essentially nothing. The text therefore supposes some pre- existing knowledge on biochemistry and animal physiology (especially in the second chapter), and a basic understanding of chemistry throughout the text.
POLLUTION IN THE OCEAN. Marine Ecosystems and Fisheries. Despite some successes in reversing hazardous effects of pollution.MARINE POLLUTION AND EFFECT ON MARINE ECOSYSTEM Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Technology. Some familiarity with the animal groups in the world seas is also quite useful. The reader is therefore probably an advanced undergraduate or master student. Finally, a big word of thanks to my esteemed colleagues and friends, Dr. Helen Verstraelen of the Antwerp Maritime Academy and hydrobiologist, teacher and science communicator Chris Thoen for their many corrections, amendments, suggestions and constructive criticism to the present text. ![]() That the text contains fewer mistakes, is thanks to them; that the text is still a work in progress, is due to myself. Geert Potters, Ph. DAntwerp, 1 September 2. Content. What is pollution? ![]() He teaches chemistry and ecology at the Antwerp Maritime Academy and Leuven University College, and coaches students to work on dissertations with an ecological backbone. His current research encompasses durable port and ship technology, such as corrosion prevention.
