How does radiation affect the ocean?

Radiation can impact the ocean through various pathways, including nuclear accidents, underwater testing, and naturally occurring radioactive materials. It can lead to the contamination of marine ecosystems, affecting the health of marine organisms and disrupting food chains. Additionally, radiation can accumulate in the tissues of fish and other marine life, posing risks to human health through seafood consumption. Long-term exposure to radiation can result in genetic mutations and decreased biodiversity in affected areas.
