Marine plastic pollution is a pressing global environmental issue with far-reaching impacts on marine ecosystems and human health. Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste enter the oceans, where it persists for centuries, breaking down into smaller particles known as microplastics. These microplastics are ingested by marine life, leading to bioaccumulation of toxic chemicals in the food chain. Marine animals can become entangled in larger plastic debris, causing injury or death. The economic cost of marine plastic pollution is significant, affecting industries such as fishing, tourism, and shipping. Addressing this issue requires concerted efforts at local, national, and international levels, including reducing plastic use, improving waste management practices, and promoting sustainable alternatives. By taking action to reduce marine plastic pollution, we can help protect marine ecosystems and safeguard the health of our oceans for future generations.
