Jonathan Ferrell · Answer 1

Answer: A seabirds and others that swim close to the shoreline

Explanation:

The oil spill will affect the quality of water. The atmospheric oxygen will not dissolved in water as the layer of oil will restrict this to happen. As a result of this the aquatic species will die along the coast. This will affect seabirds and other organism which swim close to the shoreline as these birds and animals will not receive food and their population will decline.
