from the Coleridge’s poem describing to a friend how
awful it was to be without any drinking water on a ship in the middle of the ocean.
It is strange to think that the water around his ship was probably quite safe to drink.
It was salty-but not polluted. The sea waters today are much more dangerous.
There is no ocean or sea which is not used as a dump. The Pacific Ocean, especially, has suffered from nuclear pollution because the French Government tests nuclear weapon there.
Many seas are used for dumping industrial and nuclear waste.
Britain alone dumps 250.000 tons of Industrial waste straight into the North Sea. This poisons and kills fish and sea animals.
‘’Nuclear-poisoned’’ fish can be eaten by people.
