Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While natural processes such as evaporation, dispersal, and sinking due to aggregation or coating particles can help remove oil spills from the ocean, digestion by fish populations is not a significant factor in cleaning up oil spills. In fact, ingestion of oil can harm fish populations and their ability to reproduce and survive.
