Ocean Plastic Crisis

The ocean plastic crisis refers to the massive accumulation of plastic waste in our oceans, primarily from human activities like littering, fishing, and unwanted plastic products. This debris harms marine life, as animals ingest or become entangled in plastic. Additionally, plastics break down into microplastics, which enter the food chain, affecting both marine ecosystems and human health. The crisis worsens due to rapid plastic production, inadequate waste management, and global consumption patterns. Addressing this issue requires reducing plastic use, improving waste disposal, and supporting cleanup efforts to preserve ocean health and biodiversity.
