What are the effects of oil spills on marine mammals and sea turtles?
Oil is a viscous liquid, thick textures, black color tends to greenness smelled rotten eggs, and it consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, which is composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen; the Physical and chemical properties of oil vary according to types is organized in a heavy and viscous and contains a large number of carbon atoms and some other light containing relatively lower numbers of carbon atoms, and Sulphur ratio varies from one type to another and in addition to the hydrocarbon molecules. There is a lot of oil from impurities such as water, salts, acids and Sulphur compounds which are different from the rate of one type to another.

"The natural sources are the most difficult to estimate, but are currently thought to be on the order of 200,000 metric tons (National Academy of Sciences, 1985, p.7)."
Marine Transportation is the most significant anthropogenic source; the marine pollution increased by oil tankers increasingly larger number. The seas, oceans, and rivers polluted by sinking oil tankers, as happened when the ship sank, "Torrey Canyon" ; It was shipwrecked off the western coast of Cornwall, England, in March 1967, and it leaked 117 tons of crude oil into the sea. Another example in 1978 the largest spills when the Amoco Cadiz ran aground releasing around 60 million gal of oil along 350 km of the Brittany coast of France. However, the impacts of that spill on the marine mammals were littlest compared to the 11 million-gal spill from the March 1989 grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Prince William Sound, Alaska (Jerry M-Neff, 2012). Apparently, the tanker is not the main source of oil spills from marine
