Summary
| Description |
English: This is a diagram that shows how oil spills can affect the Atlantic Puffin and their population by killing them and, or allowing for the inhalation of oil into the lungs and gut causing liver and kidney damage harming reproductive success.
1) Oiled plumage makes Atlantic Puffin less buoyant and reduces its ability to be insulated. 2) The Atlantic Puffin dies. 3) The Atlantic Puffins that live try to remove oil by preening. 4) The Atlantic Puffin ingests and inhales toxins from oil inflaming their airway and gut. 5) This causes traumatic damage to the liver and kidneys. 6) The damage contributes to loss of reproductive success. |
