I am researching on coastal pollution, its causes, types and consequences. Here is a good page.

Note how coastal waters are in trouble and how the affected areas change the ocean ecology.
I am also looking up on a specific case study about coastal pollution hazards in southern California. (www.sciencedirect.com)
This issue has to be addressed from a global prospective as well. Deadly impacts of coastal pollution have been seen in some of the most affected countries. Some occur at a certain frequency; most of these can be prevented.
