agricultural runoff and marine pollution

Agricultural runoff refers to the process by which rainwater or irrigation water flows over land that has been used for agricultural practices, picking up various substances such as fertilizers, pesticides, and animal waste. These substances are then carried by the runoff water into streams, rivers, and eventually into oceans, potentially causing environmental and ecological damage. Marine pollution refers to the contamination of oceans and other bodies of saltwater by various pollutants, including but not limited to industrial waste, oil spills, sewage disposal, and agricultural runoff. It poses significant threats to marine ecosystems, including the health and survival of marine organisms, coral reefs, and overall biodiversity.
