<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Environmental impact of shipping''' refers to the harmful effects that the shipping industry has on the environment. This includes air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, and the introduction of invasive species.<br />
<br />
==Air Pollution==<br />
[[Air pollution]] from shipping is a significant issue. Ships emit large amounts of [[sulphur dioxide]], [[nitrogen oxides]], and [[particulate matter]], which can contribute to [[acid rain]] and [[smog]]. These pollutants can have serious health effects on humans and animals, and can also damage buildings and crops.<br />
<br />
==Water Pollution==<br />
[[Water pollution]] is another major environmental impact of shipping. Ships can release oil and other harmful substances into the water, either through accidental spills or through routine operations such as [[ballast water]] discharge and [[bilge water]] dumping. These pollutants can harm marine life and can also contaminate seafood.<br />
<br />
==Noise Pollution==<br />
[[Noise pollution]] from ships can disturb marine life, particularly marine mammals such as whales and dolphins that rely on sound for communication and navigation. This can lead to changes in behavior, displacement from habitat, and even physical injury or death.<br />
<br />
==Invasive Species==<br />
Shipping can also lead to the introduction of [[invasive species]]. Ships often take on ballast water in one location and discharge it in another, potentially introducing non-native species that can outcompete native species and disrupt ecosystems.<br />
<br />
==Mitigation==<br />
There are several ways to mitigate the environmental impact of shipping. These include using cleaner fuels, implementing more efficient ship designs, and enforcing stricter regulations. However, these measures can be costly and may not be feasible for all ships or all situations.<br />
