What are oil slicks?
Oil slicks contain aromatic hydrocarbons which are toxic to humans. By covering the water surface, oil slicks reduce oxygen dissolution in water and disturb the normal activities of marine animals like finding food, escaping predators, locating habitats or attracting mates or cause their eventual death. Ocean- going vessels are the major contributors of oil slicks.
Sounds scarry but its reality. How unfair it is for those living species be killed by us humans.
