"The Ocean: A Plastic Waste Crisis"

"The Ocean: A Plastic Waste Crisis" refers to the overwhelming accumulation of plastic debris in our oceans, caused by widespread pollution from human activities. Millions of tons of plastic enter the marine environment annually, harming wildlife, disrupting ecosystems, and threatening human health. Plastics break down into tiny particles called microplastics, which are ingested by marine organisms and enter the food chain. This crisis results from inadequate waste management, single-use plastics, and consumer habits. Addressing it requires global efforts to reduce plastic use, improve waste disposal, and raise awareness about the importance of protecting ocean health.
