Does it hurt the ocean(marine life) to P in the ocean?

Question

Thats a stupid question but ive always wondered that. i know the ocean has alot of salt so i would think it would kill (waste) before it gets to fish and all. Be truthful with me and tell me what ya think on this.

Answer 1

You must be an untraveled American. No, your piddling amount of pee won't hurt a thing, even if you score a "direct hit". Think about all the untreated waste water that gets discharged into the oceans. That has the potential to hurt.

Answer 2

The small amount of urine one person would release into the Ocean would probably not do any damage.  If hundreds of thousand gallons were released it would probably do some damage.  It is hard to say because the oceans are so large most of the organism in an effected area could move to a uneffected area.  I guess it would impact coral the most.
