Short Answer

Solution

Oil spills mainly result from ship accidents and oil tanker groundings. Spilt oil forms a layer on the water’s surface and causes water pollution. It reduces the oxygen supply in the water and harms aquatic plants, fish, birds, and other marine organisms. Thus, oil spills seriously damage aquatic ecosystems.
