The pollution in the ocean

Hello dear readers, today I want to tell you about pollution in the ocean

The pollution in the ocean comes from industrial waste, toxic waste and plastics. These wastes are distributed in the ocean and are expanded by marine currents.

Plastic is a disposable material and its use does not exceed twenty minutes. Plastic bags and bottles are the most widespread marine debris in the world.

Plastic waste accumulates in the marine and terrestrial environment of the whole world, slowly decomposing into small toxic pieces that marine animals can eat and affect the food chain.

Sea turtles confuse plastic bags with jellyfish, jellyfish are the favorite food of turtles.

An evidence of this big problem is that ninety-five percent of birds have plastic in the stomach

Year after year, humans who use thousands of plastic bags, only a small percentage are recycled, while most are in nature where they can survive for thousands of years.

The waste can form true floating dumps. The most famous, known as the "thash vortex", is twice the size of Texas. It is a large landfill generated by marine currents between the islands of Hawaii and the North Pacific. its sad fame has turned it into a tourist destination.

Currently, there is an increase in the number of marine species in extinction due to the fact that all debris affects marine life.

The main problem with this waste is that it is mainly made of plastic, material that is not biodegradable, is not recycled and is not renewable. Continuing to ignore this problem is not an option, it is urgent that we become aware of this. It is essential that governments propose public policies on recycling, ocean conservation and nature in general.
