How does oil spill affect the sea life

Oil destroys the insulating ability of fur-bearing mammals, such as sea otters, and the water repellency of a bird's feathers, thus exposing these creatures to the harsh elements. Without the ability to repel water and insulate from the cold water, birds and mammals will die from hypothermia.

The oil is very toxic and it is very harmful to marine life. Once there is an oil spill in the sea many tiny fishes, marine animals and sea plants die due to poisonous oil spill
The animals are sometimes burnt due to oil spill
