Abstract

Oil pollution is one of the main pollutions of the marine environment. With the year-on-year increase of our country's oil imports and maritime transportation, our country's offshore oil pollution has become more and more serious, causing serious harm to the ocean and the nearshore environment. According to the current situation of marine oil pollution, the article outlines the current situation, sources, hazards of marine oil pollution, and the methods currently used to deal with and prevent marine oil pollution in physics, chemistry and biology.

Highlights

The ocean, forest and wetland are called the three major ecosystems of the earth, and they are an important barrier to maintain the global ecological balance
With the rapid development of the international shipping industry, the increasing intensity of offshore oil and gas exploration and development, and the increasing scale of coastal economies, the daily pollution and the marine oil pollution caused by emergencies have been increasing In addition to natural sources, petroleum and its refined products entering the marine environment mainly come from the following aspects
3.1 Ecological hazards If the oil film caused by marine oil pollution is not cleaned up in time, it will float on the sea for a long time, just like adding a layer of plastic film in sea water and air, which affects the oxygen exchange between sea water and air, and prevents sunlight from penetrating into the sea water

Summary

Introduction

The ocean, forest and wetland are called the three major ecosystems of the earth, and they are an important barrier to maintain the global ecological balance. The ocean occupies 71% of the earth's surface area, and it occupies a very important position in the history of human social development, providing humans with rich mineral resources, space resources, production resources, etc. While the ocean provides us with a large amount of resources, it is facing more and more severe pollution. The rational use and protection of marine resources is an urgent issue facing mankind[4-7]. Since the rapid economic take-off of China in the 1980s, environmental protection work, especially marine environmental protection and the harmless disposal of waste, have not been synchronized with economic development, so that the environmental quality of a considerable area of Chinese coastal waters has deteriorated, which has seriously hindered the coastal sustainable development of regional industrial and agricultural production and marine industry
