Ocean Dumping

Ocean dumping refers to the practice of disposing of waste materials into the ocean. This can include industrial waste, sewage, plastics, and other pollutants. Although some dumping is legally regulated, much of it can still harm marine life and ecosystems. Contaminants can disrupt food chains and lead to problems such as water pollution, habitat destruction, and threats to human health. Efforts are ongoing globally to reduce ocean dumping, promote sustainable waste management, and protect marine environments from degradation. Understanding and addressing this issue is crucial for the health of our oceans and the planet.
