Farmers have to spray their crops with pesticides and fertilizer in order to harvest their plants in the correct condition. When it rains, the runoff of the soil goes into the water through the water cycle and contaminates the water. “Industrial and agricultural wastes include various poisonous chemicals that are considered hazardous for marine life. Chemicals from pesticides can accumulate in the fatty tissues of animals, leading to failure in their reproductive system” (“Causes and Effects of Ocean Pollution”). If the animals cannot reproduce properly, they will not be able to keep up with or counteract the death rate that the pollution causes. It is possible that this will eventually lead to endangerment or even extinction for some
