"How much SEWAGE is dumped into the Oceans daily"?

Well I remember being in my 20s and going to Acapulco. Some dumb broad dug her spiked heels into my foot on the dance floor and I had quite the gash.

I remember thinking the SALT WATER from the ocean would help cleanse it.

BOY WAS I WRONG!

Little did I know that the Mexican government pumped raw sewage into the ocean. My leg blew up like a balloon and I had a fever and I'm lucky I didn't die down there. Luckily the meds I had "shipped" to me (didn't even see a doctor, wasn't one, I told them what I had (didn't need a brain surgeon to figure out I needed antibiotics)) and so they shipped out the meds. Took 3 days but I stopped being delirious after two.

Just imagine all those unsuspecting people swimming in it too. No wonder everyone got sick when travelling there.

I heard they cleaned up their act but I never went back and never would.

I remember reading than one litre of oil spilled affected hundreds of miles of ocean sea life, so is it any wonder our oceans are so depleted?

Once upon a time that was all the food we needed...what I wouldn't give to eat seafood every day...that isn't full of mercury and other toxins.

And might I add it's not just "poo" that is "flushed" into the ocean. You well know that people flush all kinds of chemicals and agents along with that. Most treatment plants were never built to filter out chemicals, just sewage, so all that ends up in our waters regardless of treatment processes. Some of it is removed, but certainly not all of it and it all ends up close the the SHORELINE, which is why it's dangerous to swim in half the time as the sun heats up all the bacteria in the more shallow and calmer waters, raising e-coli and other bacterias to extremely dangerous levels for humnas.

with a bit of luck it relatively is dealt with sewage and not risky. As in each thing else there are unscrupulous people, and there are factors of the country that desire cleansing. because of the fact the government is in contact the approach is inefficient with many things being achieved that don't could be and the worst get no interest in any respect. relatively than rant and rail appropriate to the final concern, I desire people could address a particular merchandise in a particular place. that would desire to offer outcomes.

Dude, the ocean is full of fish and fish poo in the ocean. The oceans are quite capable of processing effluent. The problem is when a city discharges effluent into the oceans and the city grows too big the amount of effluent discharge becomes too concentrated and it has negative effects.

Not many cities in the world have untreated effluent discharging into the oceans anymore. If the effluent is treated in open tanks it's still going to decompose with the same byproducts as if it were in the oceans.
