Textbook in PDF format The Science of Ocean Pollution by Frank R. Spellman examines pollution runoff, plastics, oil spills and other pollutants that float in our seas as well as methods to best remediate these issues. The marine environment supports nearly half of the universal primary production, and a great share of which drives global fisheries. The Science of Ocean Pollution is written and presented in the author’s characteristic conversational style and provides comprehensive coverage of the current situation regarding pollution in the world’s oceans. Even though our welfare is intricately linked, interconnected with the sea and its natural resources, humans have substantially altered the face of the ocean within only a few centuries. The face of today’s sea is quite apparent, obvious and visible; it floats. This book examines pollution runoff, plastics, oil spills and other pollutants that float in our seas as well as methods to best remediate these issues. This book is about a serious, growing problem related to an unmanaged commons. The unmanaged commons addressed herein is about the practice of polluting the sea, the ocean, the marine environment and the unmanaged commons. In The Science of Ocean Pollution the facts about the unmanaged commons being polluted every day, every hour, every minute and every second are presented in my characteristic no-holds-barred, no limits, no political leanings and no nutcase wackoe off the wall bologna: Just the facts, ma’am—and everyone else. You may have heard the old saying, idiom, phrase or expression that water is the elixir of life on Earth. Having spent the majority of my life studying water, analyzing water, drinking water, watering my plants and animals, practicing personal hygiene using water, writing about water and teaching environmental health and engineering students about water, I have come to realize, early on, that water is indeed the elixir of life on Earth. Now the irony in this statement about water being the elixir of life on Earth is that when explained to humans who do not think about water, unless thirsty or dying of thirst, is that they agree about the true value of water. But only to a point. The average person learns, usually early on, that water is a must, a have to have, a crucial ingredient to maintain his or her good health and life. The problem, the irony, is manifested when we forget that we are not the only life on Earth. For example, trees, flowers, grass and weeds all require water to survive. And then, there are the animals. They are living organisms too … they must have water to survive. The problem with the animals on Earth is that most are only visible if they can be seen. How about the animals and other lifeforms on Earth that are not normally seen. For example, we do not normally view, in their natural environment, fishes, marine algae, lichens, birds, invertebrates such as crabs, lobsters, sea stars, urchins, mussels, clams, barnacles, snails, limpets, sea squirts, sea anemones and so many more lifeforms in the sea. These listed sea life forms not only depend on water to survive but also their survival is important to maintaining life and good health in humans.
