    Fertilizer is one of the worst polluters ( lawn fertilizer, Crop fertilizer ( Super phosphate )

    It gets washed down through streams into lakes and rivers causing Algal blooms which use up the oxygen in the water .

    Some Algal blooms are poisonous and will kill marine life.

    Industrial chemicals ( Toluene which is found in our fuel and used in spray painting/ Glues etc) Get into the water and affect the food chain)

    Engine oil that leaks on to our roads also ends up in our rivers every time it rains . These are just some of them that I see everyday . Plastic products also kill marine life especially when people throw these items into the lake , Animals can ingest them or get tangled and die. That was just off the top of my head!!!!! Maybe you can Google it.

    Just go for a swim. Judging from your spelling and inability to use spell check the fish will likely die.
