FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin A dead, roadkill animal run over by a car on the highway is a sad and gruesome sight that most people have seen. But did you know there is ocean roadkill as well? Ocean roadkill is a term sometimes used to describe the accidental deaths or injuries of marine animals due to collisions with vessels, similar to the way terrestrial animals can be affected by road traffic. Collisions with ships, also known as vessel strikes, can lead to serious injuries or fatalities for these animals. The most common victims of ocean roadkill include whales, dolphins, porpoises, sea turtles, and other marine mammals.
