Causes of oil spills
Overfishing is one of the causes of Oil Spills in Antarctica. The companies who own the fisheries do not think about what their ships can do to the Antarctic waters but only care about their business and money they will earn therefore there are more ships travelling in and out of the continent. With the increase of ships travelling to Antarctica, oils spills are also uprising — the ships used are bound to be huge because they were used for fishing; the bigger the ship, the bigger the Oil Spill.
Tourism in Antarctica can also be one of the causes of Oil Spills in Antarctica. More and more people are getting interested in the wonders of Antarctica, as they are travelling to Antarctica in ships, the oil spilling from these ships are affecting the wildlife and environment of Antarctica.
Companies such as Shell, BP, Gazprom and others are getting an amount of their oil from oil drilling in Antarctica. Companies such as these don’t put their minds on what will happen to Antarctica. They only care about how much barrels of Oil they get out from oil drilling. They are willing to risk Oil Spills for only a few years worth of Oil.
