Answer:

Apart from affecting the coastal fishing and fisheries, exposure to oil spills may have negative health effects on marine life. Apart from direct contact and accumulation of oil spill pollutants, oxygen depletion may also occur due to the formation of oil slicks at the surface of the water.
