Illustration showing the effects of an oil spill from a seafloor pipeline (bottom right). The complex ocean food web is disrupted at multiple points by an oil spill. Some oil spreads along the sea bottom affecting benthic organisms, while some rises, affecting multiple communities along the way, before forming an oil slick on the surface. The oil slick can spread widely and may reach the shore. | |
