Hi I study European Environmental Law and Policy, and I am currently working on a presentation focusing on Marine Pollution.

does anyone have any material on the subject??

If the primary author will Google "source of mercury in oceans" he will find many articles that say that human-caused pollution is not a feasible explanation for the mercury concentrations that are found in oceans or in the flesh of oceanic fish.

Numerous researchers have found that concentrations found in fish haven't changed in decades (some have found none in 100 years, thanks, I assume, to the existence of old tins of fish somewhere that were made available for study). Hydrothermal vents are thought to be the principal source.

This page doesn't seem to meet Wikipedia criteria. There are no references and the article itself is seriously flawed in suggesting that marine pollution is caused by illegal immigrants. I don't have a lot of time available at present, but as it stands, this page really needs a complete rewrite to include more fact, appropriate references and removal of emotive language.
