With the development of industries has led to different types of pollution that affects the balance of the environment and organisms, which today is a great problem to which we must pay due attention and propose solutions to these problems.
Pollution is considered the transmission and diffusion of gases in the atmosphere and places such as water, marine pollution is the introduction of chemicals into the sea, which can come from rivers and lakes.


For years humans have used the oceans as dumps for feces, garbage, chemicals and radioactive waste, the oceans have also served as transportation and many maritime accidents have contaminated the waters.

                                             
As consequences of pollution sources in watersheds have been affected marine species which affects the allocation of the fishing industry, the effects are reflected also in humans, which can cause diseases such as hepatitis, cholera and dysentery and finally, in the waters there is a slimy layer contaminates which affects coastal tourism.


Should be aware that water is an essential resource for life, but it is not renewable, so you should implement measures to prevent and help to reduce pollution already caused, this awareness should start from every human being, for that to abstain from toxic substances in water, as well as industries must have a waste control so that they do not affect the oceans.
