Stop oil spillage

It is very disturbing to note that the incidents of oil spillage in oceans and rivers have become very frequent nowadays. Oil slick cannot be brought under control easily since it spreads quickly through wind and currents. Hence, great technology and enormous human efforts are necessary to handle the incidents of oil spill.

Oils spills have harmful effects on marine animals, eventually passing on to humans in many cases. To safeguard the marine ecology from the threats of oil spill, countries should come together to chart out strict rules in matters of moving dangerous cargo ships and laying oil pipelines through sea routes.
