Choose the correct word(s).
POLLUTION AT SEA
Most of the waste we produce on land eventually reaches the sea, through deliberate dumping or from run off through drains and rivers. Oil spills cause harm to the marine environment – but are only responsible for about 12 % of the oil running into the sea each year. Solid garbage also finds its way to the sea. Plastic bags are often found the airways of many marine species including whales, dolphins, seals and turtles. Also, approximately 80 % of urban discharged into the Mediterranean Sea is untreated or under treated. Tiny animals such as plankton absorb these chemicals before being eaten by fish.

THE SEA EMPRESS DISASTER
The Sea Empress, a single hull oil tanker, was entering the Cleddau Estuary on her way to Milford Haven when she hit rocks in the middle of the channel. The ship’s cargo of 130 000 tonnes of crude oil started to spill into the sea.
Salvage teams attempted to bring the vessel under control, but 72 000 tonnes of oil escaped. Volunteers helped to recover over 7 000 dead or oiled birds (a small percentage of the number of birds affected), but the average survival rate was nine days. Miles of Welsh coastline were contaminated and the total cost of the clean-up was put at £60 million.
If the accident had happened a few weeks later, when millions of seabirds would have arrived to breed, or had the wind not changed direction, then the wildlife and economy of Pembrokeshire, in Wales, would have suffered more.
