I found this website to be the most helpful for many reasons. It talked about the causes of ocean pollution including oil spills and industrial waste dumping. It also listed all the effects of the ocean pollution on the marine life. Some effects included animals choking on trash and getting angeled up in it therefore dying. This website gave me exactly what I needed and was very useful.

This website was not as helpfull as the first. It was not very user-friendly and had a lot of text instead of any variety of bullets etc. It did provide detailed information as to ways the marine life was being effected. The site also mentioned areas where pollution was highest. This was not the best but worked fairly well.

This website was also very helpful. It gave lots of ways that people could help to get rid of ocean pollution. Some of these suggestions were, joining and underwater clean up crew and learning more about ocean pollution. It provided information on things to do both inside and outside the house. This helped me to answer part 2 of question 2 very well.

This website was full of information. It talked about causes of ocean pollution such as bilge water. It too, stated the type of pollution's affect on the marine life. The site also listed a few acts the government has passed to reduce ocean pollution. I thought this was a very insightful website.
