http://www.dse.vic.gov.au says this about marine pollution:

"Marine pollution in the environment can result in short term and long term impacts to the health and well-being of native wildlife. Pollutants in the environment can result in the contamination and loss of habitat, food sources and possibly even a reduction in breeding success.
Animals that are smothered with oil or other forms of polllutant often experience external effects such as:

• skin lesions
• irritation or ulceration of the eyes, mouth, nose, etc.
• destruction of the insulation and water proofing properties of the feathers, making seabirds particularly susceptible to temperature variations and hypothermia (chilling)

Seabirds that are smothered with oil are particularly vulnerable to internal damaging effects through ingestion because of their behavioural tendency to preen their feathers. Ingestion of oil or other chemical pollutants can cause chemical poisoning, with impacts on the gastro-intestinal tract, respiratory tract, brain and other organ systems."
