Dumping Waste

I would like to bring the problem of dumping waste in the ocean to your attention. This topic is a big problem to me. Pollution of the ocean directly affects the health of the inhabitants of the ocean if they come into contact with it. This means that it indirectly affects all of the other animals on the planet. If we come in to contact with a fish that has been in contact with pollutants then our health will be directly affected. There is no telling what it could do to us. The dumping is also destroying a major food source of humans and animals all around the world. The major chemical of the dumping is lead. Some of the things in the human body that lead affects is the brain, kidneys, and the reproductive system. It also affects hearing in young children. These are just a few of the things that dumping waste in the ocean is doing to our environment.There are many different forms of  water pollution not dumping in the addition there is also a runoff of storm water and other things like that mean you could just  pee in the ocean and its water pollution. All I have tried to do is raise awareness of the topic at hand. This is because i believe that only one voice wouldn't stop this terrible act. I need just a few voices and we could do just about anything. If you have an idea on how this could be fixed please comment it for me. It would be very helpful. Thank you.
